It’s lovely, clean and bright looking, which has always been my takeaway impression of Marvel’s First Family.
But…Ben Grimm’s face when he’s chatting to the robot seemed a bit off. Not sure if that was a steaming issue (I’ve noticed a few YouTube videos aren’t syncing visuals and vocals quite right in recent weeks), or just, Y’know, his face is made of rock now so of course it’ll look a bit odd. Or even the CGI isn’t quite finished. Or it’s bad face mapping.
Jury entirely out.

Sorry, but I'm not seeing the problems with Ben's face that you are.
And the 'robot' is H.E.R.B.I.E., who first appeared as a replacement for the Human Torch in The New Fantastic Four animated series in 1978.

The Avengers have the Quinjet, the X-Men have the Blackbird and the Fantastic Four have the Fantasti-Car.

They all looked/sounded older too. Even with the retro style TV cinematography I got the impression they were much older characters. So perhaps he didn't show off because all of them are basically aging and his stretching is now a problem so he's not doing it as much

They are older characters, as Franklin Richards is generally expected to be in the film and characters such as the Red Ghost and Mole Man will be seen in flashbacks.

Yeah, they said very early on that this wasn't set in the 616 universe, but it will presumably involve them crossing over at some point.
I really hate the washed out colours. I get they're going for a retro vibe with it being all sepia toned... but for my money, FF, like Superman, should be bright and colourful. Lean into the comic-book-ness of it all.
Also, I feel the 'character flies too high and their powers/suit/whatever cut out, leaving them falling earthwards' thing has been done to death by now.
Otherwise, it looks fun. As a kid, while I was never a fan of the FF overall, the Thing was one of my favourites. So, I'm always keen to check out a new take.

It looks like that's actually comics accurate in the earlier FF books.

Ben's face is definitely off.
I like the overall style that they're going for, but all of the character seem slightly wrong.
Vanessa Kirby looks dramatically different from her appearance in Hobbs & Shaw. She looks uncanny now.
Johnny has the same issue with the washed-out blonde hair that is too pale. Golden would look better on both.
The only way we can ever solve anything is to look in the mirror and find no enemy

Not saying it's inaccurate, just boring due to overuse.
I don't think the film itself will be in the the washed out color scheme used in the trailer, outside of the TV show being shot in the film. I would bet the overall film is going to bright and colorful and is still being touched up leading up to release just as I think they are still working on The Thing, like you said.

Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.

I have a question for those that saw Rise of the Silver Surfer: was Galactus the cloud or was Galactus inside the cloud? I thought the cloud was p0art of the mechanism to devour planets and that he was inside it but seeing comments elsewhere others thought the cloud itself was Galactus.

All of the early rumours were 'He's just a cloud, because a giant dude would be silly' and so by the time the movie actually came out, that's what had stuck and nobody remembers that you actually glimpse him in there.

It definitely looked like he was inside the cloud.

But that could be a deleted scene, or someone on the internet offering a fix.
Well if that scene got deleted then that happened after I saw it in the theatre opening day...
