Is the new “Fantastic Four” movie fantastic? No, and not everyone will love the amount of downtime in this one. But good is good enough for a Marvel superhero movie these days.

On this week's episode of IndieWire's "Screen Talk" podcast, we review Matt Shakman's Marvel needle-reset "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" and parse the latest fall festival announcements.

The latest Marvel film, starring Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby, is a charmingly retro adventure that focuses on the strongest power of them all—a mother’s love.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps has matched Superman as fan reviews claim the new film is 'absolutely perfect'.

As Reed, Pascal is convincing as the world’s smartest man who is nevertheless overwhelmed by the irrational flood of thoughts and emotions that accompany fatherhood. As written, Sue is a somewhat thankless character, but Kirby manages to add depth to the Invisible Woman with subtle performance choices.

Early reviews for The Fantastic Four: First Steps are in: It’s a reboot worth watching.

Marvel Studios and DC Studios are officially back, and fans are loving both titles — however, one is rocking a better score so far.
