Reed Richards, Mr. Fantastic (Ioan Gruffudd), is treading on thin ice when his fiancée, Sue Storm, the Invisible Woman (Jessica Alba), thinks he's more interested in a series of cosmic phenomena occurring around the earth than in the preparations for their upcoming wedding. Sorry, ladies, but Reed is right. The disturbances are caused by a surge of cosmic power from a mysterious being called the Silver Surfer (an all-CGI creation, modeled by Doug Jones and voiced by Laurence Fishburne), who not only zooms around the skies on his board, but also has enough power to fight the FF, sometimes by turning their own power against them, not only mixing up Sue and Reed, but also Johnny Storm, the Human Torch (Chris Evans), and Ben Grimm, the Thing (Michael Chiklis). But that's not the worst of it. The Surfer is only an opening act, a herald looking for planets that his master, Galactus, can consume for his sustenance. With its initial installment, Fantastic Four established itself as the superhero franchise that didn't take itself too seriously, and that continues here. There are numerous moments of laugh-out-loud humor, and the most angst they suffer is whether Sue and Reed will ever be able to live a normal family life. (That, and whether they'll ever really get married, of course.) If Fantastic Four were a normal superhero franchise, the ending would be a knock-down drag-out war with Galactus, featuring the FF in a colossal battle for the planet Earth and the lives of everyone on it. Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer just doesn't do that, and we don't quite get the payoff we expected. Effects are dazzling, but the Surfer looks too metallic, more like a skyriding T-1000 robot. --David Horiuchi View Stills from the Blu-Ray's Exclusive Games (Click for larger image):

![]() Rating: - Another Super Letdown *SPOILERS*Surprisingly this movie sucked the same as the 1st. It had points that made it suck worse but it also had parts that sucked less. Stuff that sucked worse: Acting Campy Writing Galactus Stuff that Sucked the Same: Dr.Doom The Thing Stuff that Sucked none at all The Surfer The Human Torch The inclusion of Latveria Ok her is the plot: Reed and Sue want to get married but cant due to superhero lifestyle, Johnny ... Read More Rating: - Beware of PlotholesFan Four 2 is better than the first movie, but the necessity for a reboot has always existed. Both movies are a hard mediocre instead of good. Making the Fantastic Four a family franchise proved fruitless for Fox, and now it's time to give the rights back to Marvel. What Marvel will do is create a franchise that is faithful to the comics while still attracting a large audience. FF 2 tried to fix the problems in the origin, but ended up trading them in for new ones. There are a couple ... Read More Rating: - Better than the first, but still not a classicOverall, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer is better than its predecessor. The acting, effects, and plot are all a step up. The movie also has more memorable and emotionally poignant scenes (such as when Ben and Johnny sit in a bar discussing how they would spend their last minutes, Ben scaring the bear away...). I'm still not crazy as Julian McMahon as Van Doom - and he still says corny lines in the middle of battles - but he's not so central to this movie. On the other hand, the ... Read More Rating: - A step up and a fun kids film."Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" is large step up from it's goofy predecessor. It has higher production values (better special effects, cleaner editing, bigger action scenes, less cheesy moments) and most importantly a cohesive and efficient plot. With a better script the actors have better material to work with, therefore don't seem so out of place. You believe the dynamic of the team much more in this picture. Again, this series is aimed at kids and teens and I still stand by that as a good ...
