Marvel's First Family are ready to save the MCU, and critics have shared their thoughts on the movie and whether it has done enough to reinvigorate the genre.

First Steps does an admirable job of introducing Marvel's first superhero team into the MCU along with two of its best villains.

The director of "WandaVision" assembles a retro throwback with Jell-O salads and classic sci-fi pacing, starring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby and Ebon Moss-Bachrach.

"First Steps" promises to push the MCU out of its comfort zone, but the movie quickly retreats into a tired version of the same old story.

Marvel Studios just scored a major win. With 130 reviews counted, The Fantastic Four: First Steps holds an impressive 86% on Rotten Tomatoes, officially earning the coveted Certified Fresh seal. This marks a huge moment for the MCU and a much-needed victory for the superhero genre.

At 9%, FANT4STIC ranks lower than Elektra (11%) or even Madame Web (10%), which didn't exactly bowl people over, despite the incredible memes it inspired. Only Matt Salinger's extremely low budget 90s take on Captain America scores lower at 6%.

Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has revealed the strategic game plan behind setting The Fantastic Four: First Steps on an alternate Earth, providing the clearest road map yet for the conclusion of the Multiverse Saga.

Considering this is the fourth big-screen adaptation of Marvel’s Fantastic Four comics to date – or fifth, if you count the unreleased 1994 Roger Corman version – First Steps turns out to be a surprisingly fitting subtitle.

FANTASTIC FOUR: THE FIRST STEPS brings the team to us in a new and refreshing way. Matt Shakman's vision of their NYC is gorgeous and intoxicating and Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach are perfect. It's about family!!!! 💙 pic.twitter.com/ISdfduL6Su
