Prefacing with I am a person with not much F4 comic knowledge and not even that much of a fan. I really loved this movie though! It was a great story with real stakes and entertaining performances. I loved the strong family dynamics and problem solving!

I thought Pedro did a passing job as Reed. I wasn’t blown away. He was just ok to me. I’m not sure what would have made the performance stellar, but I don’t think he was the perfect casting after watching it. I couldn’t even tell you who would be.

I guess I was maybe expecting someone even more scattered about his work and maybe the voice felt off to me? Like I said, he was passable and I enjoyed it but I think someone else might have been the one to elevate that character.

Vanessa Kirby knocked it out of the park for the motherhood parts. There’s something off about her looks for me with respect to Sue but she was still great and had a ton of presence in every scene she was in.

I thought Ben was underused and Johnny maybe should’ve been a little more showboat-y? I enjoyed them both though and wanted more fun stuff with them I think.

I also like the nods to the Incredibles (which were ultimately nods to the F4). The interiors of the living room domains were similar with the steps and the rounded couch seating in a large open room. I also loved the end with running out of the building with the baby in the stroller to get into the car to respond (very Incredibles when they left were leaving the football stadium and the Underminer appeared).

I like Pedro Pascal, but I was actually disappointed when they announced his casting. Not that I didn't think he'd do a great job but just that it was a very safe casting choice...almost stunt casting. I was thrilled when they announced the other 3, especially for Johnny and Ben because those were inspiring choices.
