Film review: Marvel reboot just fantastic
Retro-futuristic action-comedy fires on all cylinders from outset Another week, another superhero franchise reboot. This time it's the Fantastic Four hoping to cash in, and the results are pretty impressive. First Steps is my kind of reboot. Just like the recent rebirth of Superman, Matt Shakman's film doesn't mess around with long-winded origin stories, instead firing you right into the action, and it's all the better for that.
