by

There’s a lot of excitement to find out if “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” or “Superman 2025” is getting better reviews from users, as the ongoing competition between Marvel and DC movies at the box office intensifies. The new Fantastic Four movie was released two weeks after the Superman reboot, which might give Marvel an edge in controlling theaters in the coming days while providing more time for Superman to gather momentum. Although user ratings for Fantastic Four are still preliminary since it’s just being released nationwide today (July 25), a number of people have already watched the film at early screenings or overseas premieres. So far, the response from viewers about both films has been intriguing.

Does Superman or The Fantastic Four First Steps have higher user ratings?

Currently, as we speak, Superman 2025 and The Fantastic Four: First Steps are neck and neck in terms of ratings by users. While Superman has a slight advantage over The Fantastic Four on Metacritic, this lead is minimal at best.

In Rotten Tomatoes, the audience scores for Superman and Fantastic Four are currently equal at 92%, based on more than 10,000 valid ratings for Superman and over 2,500 valid ratings for Fantastic Four. This tie persists on IMDb, where viewers have both films averaged at a score of 7.6 out of 10.

In a nutshell, Superman 2025 and Fantastic Four have different user ratings on Metacritic – 7.5 for Superman (based on approximately 1400 reviews) and 6.7 for Fantastic Four (based on about 104 reviews). With more people watching the movies over the weekend, there might be a significant shift in these scores as more opinions are taken into account.

The user ratings indicate that the opinions of these two films are quite close among critics, who have placed them in roughly the same league. The Tomatometer score for The Fantastic Four: First Steps is 89% with 268 reviews, which is significantly higher than Superman’s 83% with 453 reviews. However, on Metacritic, Superman has a slightly better average critic review of 68 (based on 58 reviews), compared to Fantastic Four’s 64 (based on 52 reviews).

It’s important to note that user ratings can change quickly and may be influenced by things like review bombing or its opposite, so it’s best to take these ratings with a bit of skepticism. However, at this point, it seems that both films have been well-received by audiences with similar levels of enjoyment. At the very least, the performances in both films should give a significant boost to superhero movies as a whole and potentially pave the way for future developments in the DCU and MCU.
