The Fantastic Four First Steps First Reviews: Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby's ‘Best' Marvel Attempt Earns Rave Reactions
What do people think of The Fantastic Four: First Steps so far?
George McKay, an X user, wrote, 'Quite possibly the best Marvel Studios film ever released. Absolutely loaded with talent and standout performances from Vanessa Kirby and Joseph Quinn. If you thought the MCU died with Endgame, think again. Thoughtfully crafted and easily a genre-defining classic'. Others called it a film that Marvel 'needed' and praised the perfect casting of the movie.
Matt Shakman's work from WandaVision has been brought up and earned him cheers once again. The critiquing has been on-point so far with Matt Neglia saying, 'The story's focus on the theme of family can feel a bit overdone at this point in the MCU, and the villains aren't the most compelling, but the cast does a lot of the heavy-lifting to make you deeply care about these characters, their relationships & the end-of-the-world stakes they face.'
The story is already being touted to be a hit at the box office, with many pouring in praise for the main cast members, Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn. Meanwhile, Julia Garner, Natasha Lyonne, Paul Walter Hauser, and Ralph Ineson have also earned their flowers from the audience. We expect an increasingly positive and forthcoming response from the moviegoers in the coming weekend. Adding to the goof run for MCU, the studio seems to be setting up the game right well ahead of the Avengers: Doomsday release in the coming year as the familiar cast members continue filming in secret.

Box Office: Fantastic Four takes a mediocre start in India, Opens below Superman & Jurassic World Rebirth
The Fantastic Four: First Steps has finally been released in cinemas today. The Marvel Studios movie has taken a mediocre start at the box office in India and got heavily dented by the blockbuster performance of bollywood romantic film, Saiyaara. Fantastic Four debuts with Rs 5.25 crore, opens below Superman and Jurassic World Rebirth Starring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn, The Fantastic Four: First Steps couldn't make it big in India on its opening day. The superhero action movie opened with Rs 5.25 crore net, which is not an expected start for such a well-budgeted MCU film. The Hollywood movie managed to flirt with Brad Pitt 's sports-drama F1 opening day but remained below James Gunn's Superman and Scarlett Johansson's Jurassic World: Rebirth. For the record, Superman had taken a decent start of Rs 6.75 crore in India while the Dinosaur movie stormed over Rs 8.25 crore net on its opening day. Did Saiyaara affect Fantastic Four's Day 1 box office? The superhero movie faced the wrath of Mohit Suri's sensational blockbuster film, Saiyaara, which is not stopping anytime soon. The Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda starrer clocked over Rs 18 crore net today on 2nd Friday. The difference between the box office numbers clearly shows how the audience is inclined more towards the holdover release than the new Hollywood movie. One must note that Saiyaara has also got more showcasing and screen count in Week 2 than its opening week, which eventually affected Fantastic Four's business. All eyes are now on the weekend growth of the Pedro Pascal movie. If the superhero flick manages to hold well and clocks a decent figure, it might help it in sustaining at the box office for a couple of weeks. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates. Disclaimer: The box office figures are compiled from various sources and our research. The figures can be approximate, and Pinkvilla does not make any claims about the authenticity of the data. However, they are adequately indicative of the box-office performance of the films in question.
