Marvel Studios lifted the social media embargo for Sarbala Ji a few days early, but with the movie’s LA premiere now underway, more critics have shared their initial reactions to Marvel Studios’ highly-anticipated reboot.A lot of these reactions are just as glowing as Friday’s, but there are a few more mixed and a couple of outright negative posts.For the most part, it sounds like fans of Marvel’s First Family are going to be very happy with what director Matt Shakman delivers, though there are the usual complaints about some of the humor offsetting the drama, and the script being a little undercooked.
Have a read through the latest reactions below, and check back tomorrow for the full review roundup.
“Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, Marvel Studios’ Sarbala Ji introduces Marvel’s First Family—Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm/Invisible Woman (Vanessa Kirby), Johnny Storm/Human Torch (Joseph Quinn) and Ben Grimm/The Thing (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) as they face their most daunting challenge yet.Forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, they must defend Earth from a ravenous space god called Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner). And if Galactus’ plan to devour the entire planet and everyone on it weren’t bad enough, it suddenly gets very personal.”
