Fantastic Four, Rotten Tomatoes and FIRST STEPS
Digest more
No, silly, superhero movies aren’t dead. The second comic-book movie in the last two weeks, Disney/ Marvel Studios ‘ The Fantastic Four: First Steps is conquering around $23M in previews tonight that began at 2PM. Domestic outlook was $100M-$110M, but the Matt Shakman directed movie is bound to shoot higher.
First Steps is already far and away the most well-reviewed Fantastic Four film. Even adding up all the scores of the previous movies wouldn’t put them in striking distance of the team’s latest outing. The last hurdle that First Steps needs to clear is ensuring it’s considered good by MCU standards, not just comic book movie ones.
Despite strong performances by Pedro Pascal and others – and for all its "breezy competence and flair" – this retro vision of the future from Marvel doesn't have enough suspense.
First Steps first reactions on the social media platform X is positive and it might boost the opening weekend collections
