Welcome to Kids First Coming Attractions, your VIP passed to
the silver Screen pact with Authentic Kid Howard Insights Today,
brace yourselves for an epic journey into the Marvel Cinematic
Universe with Fantastic Four First Steps. Our two Fantastic reporters,
Jackson and Race, are here to rave about this new film,
praising it for its fast paced storyline, awesome characters, and
(00:25):
a truly jaw dropping cast. They're even calling it one
of the top five films in the entire MCU. The
story thrust the Fantastic Four into an incredible challenge. They're
forced to balance their roles as Earth's heroes with the
unwavering strength of their family bond, all while defending our
planet from the ravenously hungry cosmic entity Galactus and his
(00:46):
powerful Herald, the Silver Surfer.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
It's clamber and time.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Hi.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
I'm Jackson reporting for Kids First.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Pim Andrzori Snyder, and I'm here putting for Kids First.
Phone clicks to day, I'll be reviewing the Fantastic Four
First Steps.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
The long awaited entrance of the Fantastic Four into the
Marvel Cinematic Universe finally arrives with Fantastic Four first Steps.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
This film blends multiple genres like comedy, romance, and space
travel effortlessly, which I found to be a standout. This
easily the best visually looking Marvel movie ever.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
This film has a fast paced storyline and awesome characters.
Along with a jaw dropping cast lists who have a
great chemistry with each.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Other, the cinematography, lighting, set design, and costumes, they could
stand out among other blockbusters this year.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
If you only see one more movie before the end
of the summer, this should be it.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
The storyline fall is the Fantastic Four as they're forced
to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of
their family bond as they must defend Earth from a
ravenously hungry space god Galactus.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Marvel's first family has never looked better. With the great
centem ensemble actors Pedro Vascoal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and
Evan Moss Backwrop leading the way, It's no wonder this
movie kept me on the edge of my seat the
whole time.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Apart from the MCU, this movie stands alone by itself.
It could be a space movie, a comedy romance, or
even a family sitcom and you would still love this film.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
The cinematography, costumes, music, and set design really bring a
nineteen sixties vibe to life. The relationship arc between the
human Torch and the Silver Surfer is great. Frenemies to
lovers and back again multiple times.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
And even though the world seems old and looks old,
the camera work and lighting are very contemporary. This is
one of the most colorful and expressive MCU movies ever,
but it would fall apart without the editing, which for
me has to be probably one of the best edited
movies of the year.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
One key trait of MCU films is the attention to detail.
Things that many people might not notice are added to
create real depth and surprise. For example, when Ben Grimm,
played by Evan Moss Backram walks the street, he wears
a gray fedora and trench coat. This is a nod
to a costume he wore when he was separated from
the Fantastic Four in the comics and is such a
fun detail for fans.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
It's hard to name a standout from the cast, but
my favorite performance is from Pegro Pascal, who plays Reed
Richard's He really puts you into the situation that the
team is in and the danger that they fear from Galactus,
But you wouldn't feel that fear without Ralph Inston's performance
as Galactus, the Hunger's face God, who's demanding and dominating
(03:21):
presence you feel in the whole film.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
The film's message is that your community is a family.
Fantastic four First Steps includes themes like the power of
motherly love, fighting for what's right, and the need for
a global community.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
The movie's theme is about family and how you need
to move heaven and earth to protect them no matter
what happens in life, and that your family is what's
most important no matter what happens, you put them first.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Parents should be aware that the movie includes fight scenes
and scenes with a fantastic war are in perilous situation,
including when they are escaping Galactus.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Now onto the rating, I'm gonna have to give the
Fantastic four First Steps of five out of five stars
my first step, and I recommend it for ages twelve
to eighteen plus adults.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
I get Fantastic four First Steps five out of five stars,
and I highly recommend it for ages twelve to eighteen
plus adults.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
