For me a 4 star movie is just a good solid film. Nothing extraordinary but still very enjoyable. A little slow but that allowed for a lot of fun world building.
One thing I love to see in movies (that Onward did extremely well) is to make use of every line of dialogue. Nothing that is said is a throwaway line. It all resurfaces in the climax.

Good story between catwoman and batman which could have been leaned into and emphasized even more.
