Trailer Time: The Fantastic Four: First Steps - Official Teaser



This is the first teaser trailer for the new Fantastic Four film, which will be the second reboot of the franchise, but this time it will be a part of the MCU.

Here are my thoughts:

THE GOOD

-Retro '60's Look: 
I like the overall aesthetic, which reminds me of the space race I saw in Fly Me To The Moon.  It is visually very interesting and different than what we have seen already in a super hero film.

-The Uniforms
I think they nailed the style and tone of the uniforms better than in any of the previous films.  

-The Thing
I liked this CGI Thing.  I especially like that moment when he sees his old self in the TV.  He seems monstrous, but relatable.

-Human Torch
I wasn't sure about Joseph Quinn's casting, but he seems to embody the devil-may-care attitude of Johnny Storm fairly well in the brief shots of him.

-Invisible Woman
So far, I am very hopeful that Vanessa Kirby will finally give us the Sue Storm we've been waiting for.  I don't think the other two quite captured the balance between her power and her femininity.  I like what I see here so far.

-Galactus
I'm excited to see we may get a comic-accurate Galactus on screen.  I'm hopeful it won't look cheesy.


THE BAD

-Cooking
I didn't like that they spent so much time on cooking.  This may be a reference to the actor playing the Thing and how he is on that cooking show The Bear.  But I don't think that this was the best time to highlight this as a way to sell me.

-Mister Fantastic
I'm not sold on Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards.  He seems a bit generic and not like the smartest man on Earth.
