Thoughts the day after:

*Surprised to say this but it felt too short. Needed some more time to flesh out characters I think needed it (Ben, Johnny)
*One of the better acting performances from Pedro I've seen. Also Kirby was very good as Sue.
*Really was in awe of Galactus' initial appearance. I'm not a comic book guy but I knew he was supposed to be a gargantuan presence.
*I liked the Jetsons vibe of the universe. Old school mixed with advanced technology.
*Some nice scenes between Johnny and Shalla-Bal several times throughout.
*Movie had some pretty good emotional scenes.
*Wish we could have seen a little more on how this will tie in.
*Really liked Mole Man

Overall I thought it was a pretty good film, but just not enough minutes. Left me wanting more. I kind of liked Chris' version of Johnny Storm but this film overall is way better than any predecessor. If any of my points are spoiler territory let me know.

8/10

When galactus was smiling when he was stretching Reed out :dame: had me dying :mjlol:

This was a solid movie. Thunderbolts is still the best superhero movie to release this year.
What was so great about the thunderbolts? Movie was kinda forgettable to me. Felt like Black widow 2.

I watched over half of it and kind of zoned out and didn't finish. Unless the lat 30-40 minutes are incredible i agree.

I still can’t get over what the MCU did to taskmaster

The last 30 to 40 minutes were the best part of the film i admit. But still not more than a 7/10 to me overall.

It’s really subdued compared to Superman. My theater was pretty quiet throughout the movie. But I did go see it at 11 am.

It’s really good though, loved the cast and I think Pedro will grow as Reed with different writers on board. But this and Superman are great movies for different reasons.

Didn’t care for the mid credits
