Thereās a lot to like here, but also a lot that holds it back from being great.
I actually agree with this take. Itās not perfect but it definitely delivers in key moments.

Iām 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 donāt think every piece is firing at the same level. I wouldnāt call it bad at all, just not a full knockout.
