The Fantastic Four: First Steps is an entertaining but predictable ride. The acting is good, and I love the retro look of the world. I think the casting was spot on as well.

It falters in certain places that aren't new to the genre. I must say, the "end of the world" trope has gotten old in superhero movies. We all know that everyone will be fine. The stakes are too unrealistic if you know what I'm trying to say. There were plot points that you could see from a mile away as well.

Overall, it was fun time at the movies.

This is how superhero movies should be done. James Gunn did very well in his addition of Superman. David Coronswet was great, he's just as I imagine Superman to be. I love that they gave him weakness to rise above.

The movie did feel a bit crowded, but I didn't think it was as much of an issue as others thought.

The theme of the movie is great. It teaches us to rise above our weaknesses. Kal-El stands for all of this.

The rest of the cast was also good. The effects are good but nothing special. I felt like it was emotional when it needed to be and had levity at others.

Great job James Gunn and co.
