Compared to Marvel’s output over the past few years, The Fantastic Four: First Steps feels like a ten (which is a five on my scale). But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. It’s a solid, very safe movie that doesn’t take risks – but it’s undeniably gorgeous to look at and listen to. Sometimes, that has to be enough.
This movie had one job: not to suck – and to get the MCU back on track before its swan song and eventual reboot. And honestly? It delivered better than expected.
Funny I wrote «no risk» – as if featuring a giant purple alien (again?!) wasn’t a bold choice in an earlier depiction of Marvel’s First Family.
Thanks for that. I guess. Good Job.
