Overall, The Fantastic Four: First Steps is Marvel's most unique movie in years (Shakman nailed it with Earth-828's '60s aesthetic), but it's too uneven to crown a “masterpiece” by their standards. Still, expect all of the “Marvel is back” quotes plastered onto trailers after opening weekend.

First Steps gives a spectacular new story about Marvel's First Family with a bold, breathtaking superhero blockbuster.

Disney and Marvel's "Fantastic Four: First Steps" opened to an estimated $118 million at the domestic box office. Internationally, the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe film snared an estimated $100 million, bringing its global weekend haul to $218 million.
