[Fantastic Four] isn't just fantastic: it's a triumph. Shakman's all-time direction & masterful score create a genre-defining retro-futuristic film, leading to a better, brighter & optimistic MCU. The 4 leads are everything we needed. Joseph Quinn's casting is generational.

Chris Killian said, "Fantastic Four friggin’ rocks! More than any Marvel movie before it, F4 feels like Jack Kirby’s imagination brought to life on the big screen. Between this and Superman, 2025 might go down as the year movies finally embrace the wonderful weirdness of comic books."

Another positive reaction came from Brandon Davis, who states that The Fantastic Four: First Steps is a visually stunning feat and should be watched in IMAX. He complimented the VFX work done on both The Silver Surfer and Galactus, and had an overall positive reaction to The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ visual brilliance.
