The Fantastic Four: First Steps

The Fantastic Four: First Steps
Against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, Marvel's First Family is forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, while defending Earth from a ravenous space god called Galactus and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer.

Probably the most visually stunning MCU film to date, cast is great, and a few 10/10 sequences. Everything in space is peak.
But this is a very uneven film. Last hour is noticeably weaker than the first, and I don’t think the ending was all that satisfying.
And while I mentioned the cast being great, I think some characters (cough cough the thing) have very little to do.
