I have to tell you, I wasn't sure what to expect from The Fantastic Four: First Steps. The history of Marvel's first family on film has been more than rocky, what with the Roger Corman boondoggle (financially if not creatively) in 1994, the two entertaining but lightweight attempts in the 2000s (which I liked more…
