While professional critics are embargoed, preventing them from reviewing Fantastic Four until Thursday, local screenings have taken place by now, and the first batches of fans are starting to respond to the film after having actually seen it.

And, as producer Simon Kinberg would say, it’s not a disaster.
Here’s what a smattering of Twitter users, including musician Young Lexicon and Sacramento Kings center DeMarcus Cousins have to say:

@GoKira @Ludacris I’d give it a 99 and definitely pay to go see it again! Really good!

It’s just a few opinions, and based on what they’re saying they all got to see it at a star-studded screening attended by people who were excited for the film.
So whether this first batch will be indicative of a broader trend or not…well, that’s anybody’s guess, really.
