I wasn't blown away but, also wasn't turned off. I can say I'm intrigued by the whole retro 60s look but, it also feels like a not real 60s. I don't know if I'm making any sense.  

Why would it feel like the real 60s when that was never the goal?  The official synopsis explicitly states it's "Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world,"  It's like those old world's fairs showcasing a city of the future.

For me, it was the hairstyles that felt off.  Susan Storm doesn't have a 60's style cut and the color is a weird type of streaked platinum white (in some scenes). And Pedro couldn't be bothered to shave off his mustache -- kind of like Keanu Reeves and his beard.
They may be going for something - but it also comes off as a little lazy or non-committal to the era.

I never read the synopsis all i heard was it was set in the 60s and then saw the trailer. 

And yes, that's exactly what it looked like, those old cartoons about houses/cars etc in the future that just never matched what actually developed.

It's not our 1960s.  Reportedly, it is a different universe in the '60s, but in their universe they never went through the dark ages.  So it's a more futuristic version of the '60s.  So there's no reason to think they have to stick to strictly '60s hairstyles.  Also, the FF is supposedly from the MCU's 616 universe, so that might affect their choices too.
