After “Big blue”, the “man of steel” made a successful return flight into the multiplex almost two weeks ago, have you been waiting for the “other shoe” (in this case a boot made of “unstable molecules”) to drop? Yes, the “DCU” is back in a big box office triumph, but what about those “guys down the street”, a nod from DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE? Are they resting on the good reviews (and so-so ticket sales) of THUNDERBOLTS*? Oh no, my Marvel-maniacs, the MCU is also back and as “big” as ever with a spin on the “IP” that really began Marvel Comics way, way back in 1961 (they could retire, already). According to a legend (which may be something Stan Lee came up with on the TV talk show circuit), Martin Goodman, publisher of then-Atlas comics, spoke with his DC rival at a golf course. He boasted of the brisk sales of his superhero team book, “The Justice League of America”. Goodman got his writer/editor Lee on the “horn” and ordered him to create a “super group”. He brought in artist extraordinaire Jack Kirby, and Marvel was soon born. However, the road to the big screen for the team has been a treacherous one (though there have been several animated TV shows). In 1994, a low-budget feature was pulled days before the premiere (I recommend the documentary DOOMED, which is probably streaming). Then Fox snagged the screened rights and had two medium-sized successes in 2005 and 20027. A relaunch in 2015 was a true disaster, so comic fans rejoiced when Disney acquired FOX in 2019, allowing Marvel Studios a “crack” at their “legacy property”. So will the “fifth” time be the “charm” with THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS? “Nuff said”, for the history lesson…
So here’s some rare FF merch: from the 60’s, a Lancer paperback and a Whitman Big Little Book. From 1977, here’s a reprint from Kangaroo Pocket Books…
On to the “main event”, the flick itself. This sets itself apart from the nearly 30 MCU entries in that it is set on Earth 828, rather than “good ole’ 616”, established in SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME. For four years, this Earth (which looks to be a 1960s “retro future”) has been protected by the FF. It’s all explained by the host of a popular TV talk show, Ted Gilbert (Mark Gatiss), whose latest episode is a celebration/history of the quartet. Using archival footage, we’re introduced to the brave astronauts who went into space on the star-cruiser the Excelsior, and came back “changed”. After mysterious “cosmic rays” (which forced an abrupt landing) penetrated the ship’s hull and their suits, the leader, brilliant scientist Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal), became the flexible, stretching, rubber-like Mr. Fantastic. His blushing bride, Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby), became the Invisible Woman, who can vanish from sight while creating and manipulating “force fields”. Her brother Johnny (Joseph Quinn) could control flames, flying through the skies as the Human Torch. Their pilot, Reed’s old buddy Ben Grimm (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) underwent the most radical transformation. His body doubled in size, his skin morphing into a rock-like shell as the unblievably strong being known as the Thing. They all share living quarters atop the Baxter Building, which is also home to the United Nations-inspired Freedom Foundation. Over the big Sunday Dinner, Ben figures out why the now-married Sue and Reed are acting so “off”; She’s pregnant. Reed’s happy, but concerned over how those cosmicly-altered genes may affect their “bundle of joy”. They go about their heroic duties until Reed detects a strange being entering Earth’s atmosphere. The four meet a floating lady, an alien seemingly made of metal, the Silver Surfer (Julia Garner). She proclaims her role as the “herald” of her “master”, the giant, planet-devouring creature called Galactus (Ralph Ineson). The Surfer warns that he’s on his way to make a “meal” of them, so they’d best use the next few months to say their goodbyes. Will the FF go into action against them? C’mon, now! They take off in the Exceslior and track down the Surfer and her “big boss-man”. Reed wants to negotiate, but the price to be paid for erasing the Earth from his menu is monumentally steep. Even with his “ginormous” brain and the team’s combined might, can they possibly thwart the Surfer and her very hungry controller, Galactus?
So, do the four leads “play well together”? Well, the film really insists on that, as we’re pretty much a “fly on the wall” through the whole story. The answer is a resounding “Yes, indeed”, with a crackling chemistry that’s “off the charts”. Since she was usually the “damsel in distress” for many of the early comics issues, it’s surprising that the plot really hinges on Sue, who is played with a fierce, steely determination by the dazzling Ms. Kirby (no relation to the co-creator). She’s the gentle beacon of decency that nudges the team in the proper direction, in terms of combat and ethics. She’s also the protector of “her guys”, though she’s the ultimate cosmic “mama bear”. Plus, she sweetly coaxes humanity from the often socially awkward Reed, played with an endearing “absent-minded professor” demeanor by the compelling Pascal. Bringing lots of good humor into the mix is the energetic Quinn, whose Johnny is the “teen dream” who really wants to be taken seriously as he yearns to contribute more to the group than tossing some fireballs as he scorches the baddies. And then there’s the remarkable rendering of the most complex and visually interesting member, Ben, whose plight is given the proper tragedy and pathos by the gifted Moss-Bachrach. The Thing is a lovable “gentle giant”, rock-hard but still cuddly to the kids that adore him. He still yearns to become that dashing “space ace” once more, as he wistfully looks at TV news film of his past visage. Even through the layer of CGI granite, Moss-Bachrach never loses Ben’s humanity.
As for the supporting players, it’s probably best to start with the big, destructive duo. Garner is sleek, sinister, and sympathetic as the woman who was once Shalla-Bal, but is now required to issue mass death sentences to entire worlds. Even through her silver coating, Garner conveys Bal’s inner torment. But when your “master” dwarfs the city, intimidation’s a big concern, especially with Galactus, who is given a growling, terrifying deep, deep bass delivery by Ineson, his real horror is displayed as he smiles and “plays with his food”. Sarah Niles is very good as Sue’s very human aide Lynne, while Paul Walter Hauser is a real hoot as a former FF foe now turned reluctant friend. And I really hoped to see more of the always enchanting Natasha Lyonne, as a gal from the “old neighborhood (hopefully not Yancy Street)” who responds to Ben Grimm, he man beneath the walking rubble. And be on the lookout for some delightful cameos that pop in, plus one of this Summer’s robot scene stealers, along with SUPERMAN’s pal, Gary, H.E.R.B.I.E.!
Yes, it’s a compelling space opera, though one that also dazzles in its look with a team of truly talented “world builders” reminding us of a hoped-for. promised but not quite delivered sparkly future. I’m sure I’m one of many filmgoers who wished they could be beamed into this wonderful “playground” supervised by director Matt Shakman, a former child actor who has graduated to the MCU after stellar work on my favorite of the Marvel Disney+ streaming shows, “WandaVision”. He has great control of the big action stunt scenes, while always showing us their emotional impact on the characters. He conveys how Reed is literally stretched to his limits, along with the simmering attraction between the Surfer and the Torch (fire clashes with cool metal). As I said, the actors are incredible as their performances blend with the eye-popping visuals. This Earth’s “take” on 60s Times Square is dizzying visual “candy”, a contrast to the oppressive atmosphere of the Galactus vessel, as cold and cruel as this creature. The period costumes, namely the “off duty” wardrobe of the quartet, wonderfully harken to the “Mad Men” era’s “vibe”. Then there’s the TV graphics, along with the splendid crowds of stunned “onlookers,” set us right inside this dreamland right out of those classic 60s comics. About those, longtime fans will be giddy about the many “nods” to those “collector’s item classics”, but those casual filmgoers shouldn’t feel lost. The “homework” plot points have been a major complaint for many in MCU movies, so they’ll be happy to know that with this “other Earth” not tied to the MCU need not be recalled. That’s a credit to the five (almost four) screenwriters credited, who deftly peppered the story with lighthearted comedy and truly earth-shattering drama. And as with most Marvel movies, there’s a mid-end credits and post-credits scenes that are actually worthy of your time. And I must also toss some accolades at the producers for the many nods and acknowledgments of the talents of the “king of comics” (he never liked that nickname, but oh, how that crown fits), Jack Kirby. Mind you, Stan Lee was a big part of those characters (he even slapped a banner at the top of the book proclaiming it was “the world’s greatest comic magazine”), and he got to be a cameo star in the MCU, while sadly Kirby put away his pens and pencils forever in 1994. So I’ll consider this cinematic “love letter” his “screentime” as the movies have finally “cracked the code” for the “cornerstone” of Marvel with the fabulous THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS, which, true believers, naturally earns..

Written and directed by Iraq War veteran Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland (Civil War, 28 Days Later), WARFARE embeds audiences with a platoon of American Navy SEALs in the home of an Iraqi family, overwatching the movement of US forces through insurgent territory. A visceral, boots-on-the-ground story of modern warfare, told like never before: in real time and based on the memory of the people who lived it.
Starring D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, Will Poulter, Cosmo Jarvis, Kit Connor, Finn Bennett, Taylor John Smith, Michael Gandolfini, Adain Bradley, Noah Centineo, Evan Holtzman, Henrique Zaga, , with Joesph Quinn, and Charles Melton, watch the trailer below.
Garland’s CIVIL WAR, also from A24 Films, was released in early 2024. At the time he said, “It is exceptionally difficult, to make a war movie that is, in fact, anti-war. War movies find it very, very difficult to not sensationalize violence,” he says. “Most of the anti-war movies in a way are not really anti-war movies. They have so much to do with camaraderie and courage. It’s not that they are trying to be romantic, but they just become romantic. They sort of can’t help it because courage is romantic and tragedy in a way is romantic.”
“Gladiator is a hard act to follow, but Sir Ridley Scott proves still to be a master working up a Roman orgy of excitement that proves a worthy successor in every way,” says Pete Hammond (Deadline) in his review of GLADIATOR II.

The buzz from the various trades and socials praised the film. While it might not quite match the original, GLADIATOR II was generally considered a solid addition to the franchise.
Scott Mantz, KTLA journalist, wrote on X: “GLADIATOR II is indeed the REAL DEAL! An epic sequel worthy of its Oscar-winning predecessor — great action, amazing visual effects, stellar performances across the board (esp. PAUL MESCAL & DENZEL WASHINGTON)! A return to form for director RIDLEY SCOTT!”
Drew Taylor of The Wrap said: “rest easy, Romans. #Gladiator2 is the kind of large scale filmmaking excellence only Ridley Scott could corral. Everything about it just works. Big #Maverick vibes in its ability to conjure the past while adding something new. Bold, muscular filmmaking from a legendary talent.”

2-time Oscar winner Denzel Washington garnered the highest praise with some speculating he will receive his third Academy Award for his performance. The Hollywood Reporter says of last night’s Q&A: Washington also has a prominent part in the film as Macrinus, a wealthy arms dealer and former gladiator who plots to control Rome. The actor joked during the Q&A, “He’s misunderstood. He’s a nice fellow.”
“He’s trying to use everybody. He’d use his mother, he’d use his own children; he’s already used up his soul, so he didn’t have any left. He’s in bed with the devil,” Washington continued, explaining that Scott made their work easy by building life-size sets as they shot in Malta. “When you would walk around, you were in Rome, and it seemed like 10,000 extras and horses. It was make-believe, it was play, it was fun; just put the gear on, put the dress on and go, that’s the way I look at it. I’m putting this dress on, these rings and I’m going crazy.”
Still a hard pill to swallow, Scott lost Best Director Oscar to Steven Soderbergh for TRAFFIC. Best Picture and Actor among others went to GLADIATOR. It took home five awards at the 73rd Academy Awards, and was nominated for an additional seven.
GLADIATOR II opens in cinemas on November 22 and is rated R for Strong Bloody Violence.

The a-list cast includes Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, Fred Hechinger, Lior Raz, Derek Jacobi, with Connie Nielsen and Denzel Washington.
While the first teaser was more than a little underwhelming, this is fantastic! Along with the score from Hans Zimmer, more from Washington and Nielsen, the battles in the Arena, this…THIS is the sequel fans of the first film have been waiting for.
GLADIATOR, released on May 5, 2000, won five Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Actor for Russell Crowe, Best Visual Effects, Best Sound and Best Costume Design, and was nominated for an additional seven.
