Said positives:
+ breezy fun
+ not bogged down by lore
+ good chemistry
+ lovely retrofuturistic aesthetic
Negatives:
- seemed generic in some ways
- stretched disbelief even for a superhero film
- little underbaked/rushed
- dull villain
- iffy motherhood plot
- global scale, extremely American tone
- related: two major plot points
- bunch of minor ones I noticed that didn't bug me
Still enjoyed it.

So. I saw the new Fantastic Four.
Honestly, not bad, but not exactly a classic (as a movie or as a Marvel movie). About Ms Marvel level - a smidge more generic but also more charming.
Back to basics, a bit by numbers (in a general sense, not MCU-by-numbers as such, but breezy and fun.
I guess overall I enjoyed it and liked it even though I've more negatives to note than positives?

If you're familiar with the UK the imagery in the final scene might be a little bit extremely provocative - but, as has been pointed out, in the film's world the clock stopped in 2002. The characters don't know what Saville did. We do.
If you're not familiar with the UK it's probably at least structurally interesting and pleasingly mad.
It's several different movies combined and somehow isn't stretched too thin.
A zombie horror. A family drama about a sensitive boy. Coming-of-age. Commentary on militarism. And on Brexit. Worldbuilding. Assisted dying advocacy. A reflection on death. And on how we make heroes and villains, in the same scene also a sentai film plus gore.
Should be a shitshow, despite some hammy moments it's not. Brilliant.
Saw 28 Years Later and, honestly, bonkers. In a good way.
It knows it's not going to be to everyone's taste, it doesn't care. Several films in one but still feels connected to 28 Days Later.
It's wonky but genuinely brilliant - and the latter depends on the former. BUT:
- not for everyone.
- some points that are too on the nose, require a little suspension of disbelief re: logistics or hinge too much on chance.
