"SILVER ON THE RISE"
Let me state straight away, I much prefered this movie to the original film, this one is better paced and with a more creative story. The Dr. Doom character is the best thing about these films, he looks great and he is brutal menace just like in the comics. The Silver Surfer character is somewhat of an enigma, but I liked the CGI, and to honest he looked really HOT, but i digess..overall, a much improved sequel, but honestly, get Ms. Alba an acting coach, she is up there with Josh Hartlet as the worst actors in Hollywood, she is hot, yes for sure, but her character is important to the flow of the film and she's asked to do some emoting and she is just painful to watch..here's hoping the next film in even better and that Ms. Alba takes me advice.

"Not exactly the comic...but close."
We all remember the Fantastic Four from reading comic books during our childhood. The Silver Surfer was introduced early in the series as the mighty Galactus' (the devourer of worlds) herald. This mighty duo is brought to the big screen for the first time in Fantastic Four 2. This was a film I couldn't wait to see, and after several months of anticipation, we finally get to see it....so it disappoints me to say the movie was boring.

First: The movie takes almost thirty minutes to really get going....and considering the movie is only an hour and a half long, this is bad. The movie begins with the attempted wedding of Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic) and Susan Storm (Invisible Woman) but shortly after the comedy-filled bachelor party the couple is made aware of an event that has global implications. During the wedding a silver blur soars past the ceremony forcing Johnny Storm (Human Torch) to give chase. This is my favorite scene in the movie and soon after it ends the film slows back down.

The film tries to remain faithful to the golden age comic: The Silver Surfer, on a mission to locate subsistence, discovers earth and signals his master, Galactus. The only real important differences from the comic are the Surfer's powers...the form of Galactus...the individual that shows the Surfer humanity....Victor Von Doom...and the means in which to stop Galactus. Yet, while these are some major differences, they don't distract from the film all that much. The main problem with thefilm is that the only decent scenes involve the Silver Surfer and he really only has a bit part. However, the movie is left opened for a Silver Surfer spin-off.



"The Surfer"
I don't like the surfer here. His design is overdone (a wildly, monsterlike screaming surfer?) and he lost his noble and deep-thinking attitude. I always thought that this character was so far ahead of all other superheroes, because of his selfreflecting, balanced being, intellect, heart, (plus, of course: his superpowers). I prefer the older stuff you can get on utube to this one.

"strike two on the franchise"
Sight gags, some decent CGI, and Andre Braugher as a cartoon military cut-out all equal a whole lot of nothing going on.

This is a sequel made for the sake of making a sequel. There's no heart to the monster, no real depth. Impressive as the Silver Surfer looked and as great as some of the score sounded, it never lived up to the trailer. The movie is largely wasted on sight gags involving the Fantastic Four trading powers after Johnny Storm's initial encounter with The Silver Surfer. Whether the effects of that are mitigated by the movie's close after he powers up with all four powers to smack down the 11th hour villainy of Dr. Doom (and for all that he's a complete asshat, I still don't get HOW we're supposed to believe that General Hager actually trusted Doom) whose clever scheme was always to get his hands on the Surfer's board.

There's some standard comic book commentary on the viability of living a "normal" life while also being a super hero, a fake out that kills off Sue for all of five seconds, and two wedding sequences, but none of it really rises above affectation. Although I did read a little Fantastic Four in my time, they were never my favorite comic book and the movies (despite the hotness of Jessica Alba and Chris Evans) have yet to do anything to change that. Kerry Washington is WASTED as Ben Grimm's girlfriend, Alicia Masters, acting as a sort of mediator between Grimm and the Torch, and Sue and Reed but without really adding anything to the plot.

Despite Sue's brief one on one with the Surfer where we learn about his mission, his job as herald and his One True Love; the movie is permeated with the sense that there's more backstory. I continually felt that there was something more to know, something about the Surfer and Galactus that just wasn't being addressed. I've never been a Silver Surfer fan, maybe having read one comic a very long time ago, so that's a really bad sign when a non-fan who knows nothing about the franchise gets the feeling that there's something vital missing.

Translating a comic into a movie is really difficult, like with any adaptation there has to be mediation between old and new fans. The Hollywood machine ever in pursuit of a guaranteed dollar has become bloated with remakes and adaptations of previously produced material. Unfortunately, that material is generally suffering for it. Fantastic Four should have been a better movie, but sadly, isn't.

"A notch or two better than the first entry in the series"
I'm surprised that this movie didn't do better when it was in theaters. It has a better, more ambitious story than the first film, the fan-favorite "Silver Surfer" character from the comics, a tone of wonderment that characterizes the best F.F. comics stories, and a minimum of silliness (and what silliness remains is actually good for a genuine chuckle or two). In short, "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" is a good time. Who knows, maybe we'll still get a third installment, as the movie did pretty well in the international market.

The single-disc version of the movie looks and sounds great and is economically priced, but it doesn't have the entertaining, illuminating extras features of the two-disc special edition. It's great for a quick re-revisit of the actual film, though, which is the reason I recently picked it up.

"God awful movie. If it was not for all the special effects it would be one of those B movies in the clearance ben.", I do not see how this could be considered a good movie. The story plot was bad and the characters were cheesy horrible. The jokes stunk. Obviously this movie was made for little kids to sell toy merchandising(SEE STUPID BEAR SEEN WHICH IS AN OLD CLICHE WHICH USUALLY INVOLVES A DOG AND SOMEONE GROWLS AT IT THEN IT RUNS SCARED, BAD BAD BAD). It is the worst super hero movie I have ever seen. The only cool part was the Silver Surfer character and his abilities. Lets hope they do not make a sequel. I wanted for the first time to smash a Blu Ray/DVD disk, I would have but I wasted money renting this junk.

"Good, solid fun", Nice comic book adaptation of the Fantastic Four comic which, as a comic book, was always more interesting for its villains than its heroes, and this movie franchise is the same. I didn't see the first film, but I understand that it was marred by a rushed resolution. In this film, the threat - the Silver Surfer - is identified 30 seconds into the film, so this one is well-designed as an action film.

Quite a bit of soap opera centered around Susan Storm's concern that she won't have normal life after she marries Reed Richards, boo hoo hoo, but otherwise it's pretty straight forward and not too weepy. It's a kids movie, more so than any of the other Marvel adaptations, although they do manage to get in some speculation about the Thing's plumbing nonetheless (a perennial question for Marvel Comics fans).

As far as comic book adaptations go, Jessica Alba looks better in Sin City of course, but who's complaining. The Silver Surfer is very welcome in this movie, as one of the coolest characters in all of Marvel Comics, and they do interesting things with his surfboard. One complaint: I don't want to give too much away about the ending, but the producers didn't really introduce Galactus - a character just as fascinating as the Silver Surfer himself - in a very satisfying way in my opinion. But by the end of the movie you've had so much fun that you don't really care too much if it's well-resolved anyway (so few films are).

Green light for another Fantastic Four movie, as well as a Silver Surfer spin-off.

"If you like the comic you'll hate this", First off, any one who read FF#48-50 where the Silver Surfer and Galactus first appeared will hate this. I realize as movie makers they can't do the comic adaption word for word but if anything was ever begging to go directly from comics to movies it was those three classic issues.

I enjoyed most of the Marvel based movies even though they stray far from the comic but, FF's strength is its' early issues and though you couldn't have corny sixties dialog like "Now it's time for me, Mr. Fantastic, to handle things for a stretch!" or "Hey gang it's Johnny with the Ultimate Nullifier!" where is the Watcher? Why is Galactus a cloud? Oh yes, he, the ultimate 400 story tall baddie in the Marvel Universe is like a big Sauronesque fume in this movie. To make it worse they have the shadow of his head fly past a planet having fanboys like me salivating.

I hope this spoils things for fans like me who were hoping to see at least a halfway decent adaption of the comic, maybe they won't buy this garbage. This way maybe they'll lose so much money they'll have to do it over like they did with the Hulk.

"Your Herald Summons You", "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" is the second Fantastic Four movie, and first hit the big screens in 2007.

Two years have passed since the Fantastic Four - Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Ben Grimm and Johnny Storm - gained their powers. Following a trip into space and a blast of cosmic rays, Reed became able to bend and stretch like rubber, Susan had the ability to become invisible while Johnny could transform into a human of living fire. However, where Reed, Sue and Johnny could switch their powers on and off, Ben couldn't : he was permanently stuck as a creature made of living rock. Despite the superhuman strength, it was something he wasn't - initially - terribly pleased about...although now, he's a little more comfortable with things.

Reed and Sue's wedding is now approaching and - with the team's fame - it's going to be a big media event. However, it's not about to pass off smoothly; thanks to a mysterious visitor from space, very strange things are happening to the Earth's climate - snow in Egypt, frozen seas in Japan, even power outages in western USA. There are even mysterious craters appearing at certain points around the Earth and- thanks to the film's opening sequence - you know the Earth's in an awful lot of danger.

It isn't long before the team get called in by the military. A certain General Hager stops by the Baxter Building looking for Reed - although he isn't too happy about sharing any classified information with a civilian scientist. (He particularly dislikes Reed - the pair have something of a history). Unfortunately, he arrives while the boys at enjoying Reed's stag-night...so Sue takes the General and his goons along. (Naturally, events only confirm the General's bad opinion, and land Reed in quite some bother with Sue). The General's looking for some help with explaining the meteorological anomalies and the strange craters. In an effort to impress Sue, Reed officially passes on the assignment - claiming that he wants to focus solely on his forthcoming wedding. Naturally, he works on the project in secret and finishes things up just before the wedding.

Naturally, things go drastically wrong. The mysterious visitor from space - the Silver Surfer - arrives in New York just before the wedding and knocks out power all over the city. Johnny goes after him, and is the first person to get a really good look at the Surfer...without realising the extent of the Surfer's powers. Johnny very much comes of second-best, and the encounter also leaves Johnny's powers on the blink - when he touches one of his colleagues, their powers (briefly) switch. (It's something that Ben has a bit of fun with, and gives us another chance to see a scantily-clad Jessica Alba). Even worse, the Surfer's arrival has Dr Doom come back to life...and it isn't long before he starts adding to the planet's woes.

"Rise of the Silver Surfer" is a great deal better than the first Fantastic Four movie, and some of the effects are excellent. The fact that there's a half-decent storyline - unlike the first movie - helps a great deal, and Johnny Storm isn't quite the nuisance he was first time around. There are a few flaws - Reed Richards still has the worst superpower ever dreamt up and there was the occasional bout of cheesy dialogue. However, Stan Lee's cameo was the only irritating thing about the movie - as with the first movie, there was just no need for him to be there. A largely fun way to pass a free couple of hours.

"Shiny and bright", Mr. Fantastic and Invisible Woman want to get married, but their wedding plans are ruined when the Silver Surfer arrives. The only way to stop the Silver Surfer from ruining everything is to separate him from his surf-board, which they do. However, that is not enough, as the Silver Surfer's master still wants to destroy Earth for its own survival. The Silver Surfer is persuaded from being bad to being good, and is re-united with his surf-board so that his master's intentions fail.

The movie is shiny and bright like the Spider-Man movies, as opposed to being dark like the Batman movies. I prefer the former type of movies, so I liked Fantastic Four - Rise of the Silver Surfer too.

"A GENEROUS ONE STAR", No Plot, terrible dialogue, awful characters... Might appeal to a 3-4 year old child, just because of the bright colors and loud noises. This was even worse than the first Fantastic Four.

"MAN, is this film a botch job!", Let me say just one thing...I [[LOVE]] the FF! I've loved it since the first issue with the Mole Man. But this film, and the woebegone first one are so badly cast and underwhelming, it's awful! Whose bright idea was it to cast Jessica Alba, who looks like she's fourteen, as Sue Storm? Or Ioan Gruiffudd as Reed Richards? NEITHER of these people work in their roles! Reed should be solidly middle aged, about 45-50, with premature grey hair at the temples and a movie star handsome face and an intelligent, fatherly air. Gruiffudd is neither upper-middle aged, professorly or fatherly and is too thin and flutey for the usually huskily drawn Richards. The sad thing is, anybody who COULD have played him is either too old or dead: Keith Andes, John Forsythe, Dean Jones, Richard Denning, (who Reed was probably based on to begin with,) or Russell Johnson are either retired, WAY too old, (like 70 or 80,) or, sadly, in the grave. They STILL could have done better than Gruiffudd, though! Actually, I could see him and Julian McMahon switching roles. And Dr. Doom isn't supposed to have an American accent anyway! (Not to mention the fact that he isn't supposed to be American to BEGIN with!)

And Alba....Come ON!! She hardly looks PUBESCENT, much less old enough to marry a scientist near retirement age! They should have saved her for Frankie Raye, one of Johnny's many girlfriends, and someone who would eventually supplant the Silver Surfer as a herald of Galactus. I say Joan Allen would have been PERFECT for the role, using someone like Bill Pullman as Reed. And Johnny should be BLOND, not brunette with a crew cut!! J. Storm never had a crew cut in his LIFE in the book!! Heck, I've always had my reservations about the Human Torch as a comic book character to begin with!

However, as usual, they NEVER get Ben Grimm wrong! What's to get wrong, anyway?? All you've got to do is get a burly, middle aged actor who can talk like a New York cab driver and you're home free!

Now, as to the Silver Surfer, though pretentious as ****, he's always been one of my favorite superhero comic supporting players. I like the fact that one of my favorite black actors, Laurence Fishburne, is doing the voice of ol' Norrin! The character, alas, suffers from the USUAL Marvel superhero film "obvious CGI effect" problem. What IS it with cheezy Marvel?? Can't they do ANYTHING first class?! This outfit has [always] been tacky as the blazes in their endeavors, since day one. I guess even hitting the big time with the X-Men movies and the first Hulk film can't alleviate their affection for that "sleaze aspect". (And when are they going to stop making those "Punisher" movies??)

I [[had]] to get this film due to my love for the Surfer, but I can tell you right now, if I had anything to do with its production, either casting, directing or writing, things would be done differently! Ta-ta, Alba and Gruiffudd, bleach Johnny's hair, make Galactus solid instead of gaseous, and rework the origin where they actually had Doom aboard their near-space probe, acquiring powers, something that never happened in the source material! I HATE it when my favorite superheroes have their origin stories altered significantly in movies or TV...it happened in BOTH first "Batman" movies, (Joe Chill killed Bruce's parents, NOT Jack Napier/The Joker, and Ra's Al Ghul came LONG after Bruce Wayne became Batman! He did NOT train him!) The Flash TV show, (Barry Allen was blond, again, not dark-haired like John Wesley Shipp; did NOT live with his parents and had no brother. Iris West was in practically every issue of his magazine, but was only in the pilot episode of the show, (as a punk rocker, yet!) replaced by Tina McGee, a new character...there was no Julio in the book..AND HE NEVER VIBRATED THROUGH WALLS on the show!! [My favorite trick of his!]) The X-Men were originally: Cyclops, The Beast, The Angel, Marvel Girl/Jean Grey, Professor X and Iceman, THEN there was the reboot with Cyclops, Jean Grey/Phoenix, Storm, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Shadowcat and Wolverine. Rogue was a Johnny-come-lately, taken in from an organization that actually was formed to FIGHT the X-Men! She was also much more mature than Anna Pacquin in age and bearing. Their legend from about 1985 on has been too confusing to go into here, but the above is the basic truth. The second animated show and the movies screwed that ALL up, with Iceman being one of the junior students at Xavier's school, Angel a complete stranger, Nightcrawler a latecomer and Kitty and Piotr (Shadowcat and Colossus) VERY peripheral players! (Kitty was a major player in a LOT of the Xmen "second generation" stories.) I could go on....Superman and the Kryptonian criminals lifting things with their eyes in the original Salkind "Superman" movies, Mary Jane living right next door to Peter Parker in "Spiderman", Sandman being a sympathetic character with a dying daughter in Spidey 3, Peter acquiring the black, alien suit while still being on Earth, etc., etc....Suffice it to say that "Daredevil: The Director's Cut" is about the ONLY decent, faithful transfer of a superhero to the screen I've ever seen!

Somebody get Paul Levitz and Jim Shooter to supervise this stuff, huh?

"Blu Surfer", Saw this movie in the big screen but loved and enjoyed it even more in blu ray. Great blu ray transfer, both video & audio. Loved the chase scene between torch and the silver surfer, and of course, Ms. Alba. Worth paying extra for BD!

"Fantastic Four - Rise of the Silver Surfer", I enjoyed this movie very much and think that it should have rated a 5.0
