There’s a lot to like here, but also a lot that holds it back from being great.

I actually agree with this take. It’s not perfect but it definitely delivers in key moments.

I’m somewhere in the middle on The Fantastic Four: First Steps. I can see why people rock with it because the tone is there. I just don’t think every piece is firing at the same level. I wouldn’t call it bad at all, just not a full knockout.
