Fantastic Four: First Steps rejuvenates the Fantastic Four franchise with an entertaining and stylish approach. The film has garnered an 88 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, exceeding the reviews of recent MCU films. It features a cast including Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby, tackling a plot centered on saving a retro-futuristic Earth-828 from Silver Surfer and Galactus. Critics note its homage to the glamor of Silver Age comics, though opinions vary on its success in distinguishing itself from the typical Marvel formula. The film aims to embrace the superhero genre meaningfully, while also facing critiques regarding its space sequences.
‘First Steps' loses its footing when it launches into space, loses the benefit of its scenery, and forces our attention on the plug-and-play jizz whizz at its core.
In capturing the vibe of the Silver Age - if not its actual spirit - Matt Shakman has done something Marvel Studios doesn't do very well anymore.
The latest MCU blockbuster is a stylish and fun summer comic book capper that makes the Fantastic Four cool again.
Fantastic Four has the style, but can it break from the MCU's overly studio tested, increasingly cookie-cutter formula.
