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?

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.
