Fantastic Four: First Steps starring Pedro Pascal has just received its first set of reviews.

Even though, the movie is a week away from its global release, but some members of press were able to watch the film in an early screening.

They have shared their initial thought on the movie. According to the critics, Matt Shakman’s directorial is "visually stunning" while having a gripping story.

One critic wrote, “Fantastic Four is visually stunning, stylish, self-contained, and easy to jump into. I had such a good time with this one. The retrofuturism is such a snack.”

“My standout is Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm babe I will die for you, you are perfect.”

Meanwhile, another opened that the new action sci-fi flick is a story based on family with each member having an "equal importance".

“Fantastic Four is a story about family above all else, where each member of the team is equally important.”

“No one is underserved; the movie excels when fleshing out the various bonds between Pedro, Vanessa, Ebon, & Joseph.”

For the early viewer, Pascal’s film gives “retro 60s aesthetic” vibes.

Fantastic Four: First Steps features Pedro along with Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn and Julia Garner.

The movie is slated to hit theatres on July 25.
