This is one of the greatest superhero films ever made.
This is the greatest Marvel superhero team that Jack Kirby and Stan Lee never thought of. Think of this as the best cinematic version of the Fantastic Four ever made. This film does what every version of FF, including the new one, should have done.
Actually this film is light years beyond just being a FF retread and I have only used that analogy simply to get your attention.
This is the story of five people who get organ transplants from a super powered human. They didn't know the donor was super powered, though the doctors knew things were weird when the body disintegrated after the organs were removed. The organs give each one superpowers and a tattoo. As they sus out what their powers are, an older religious leader leader steps on the scene and begins sucking vitality from anyone he touches.
This is a brilliant film. While the film has action sequences, this film is actually all about the characters. How the five people work out their new abilities and come together is what makes this film works. We fall in love with the film because we fall for the characters. How they react and interact is everything. These are people who are just like us, or our better selves. How they react is how we would. It is a delight.
I loved this.
This film has all the heart and love that almost all of the big budgeted superhero films of the last two decades have been striving and failing to achieve. This is a film with wonder and feelies and genuine laughs.
This film is magic.
As I said this is one of the best superhero films ever made and one of 2025's best as well.
