AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
TeenzTen An action-packed slog
ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Pjtaylor-96-138044 'Fantastic 4: Rise Of The Silver Surfer (2007)' is generally more interesting than the first even if it is less intelligent and takes a number of glaring missteps in terms of both its tone and treatment of certain source elements. Once the actual superhero stuff gets underway, it's just as passively enjoyable as the franchise was initially, though sadly just as camp too. It was around the time that Mr. Fantastic's computer-generated arms 'Mr. Tickled' themselves around two 'bodacious babes' and awkwardly reeled them in during a far too long and far too uncomfortable dance sequence set at his stag party that I realised what I was in for: an experience perhaps even cheesier and more clichéd than the original. That does mean that, for better or worse, it is actually far more memorable. 5/10
filmglutton I saw this movie at a friend's house last December via DVD. The action sequences turned out to be too cool for the movie. The acting performances turned out mediocre, but the Thing character seems to have a lot of praise. Chris Evans' performance was great for me. The computer generated effects seem okay. Some people hate this movie, but in my honest opinion, I liked it. I consider this the best Fantastic Four movie I have ever seen. This sequel is as cool as the 2005 predecessor, and way better than the reboot. The plot may have some problems but the writing for the movie is pretty decent. It wasn't that bad, but it was just fine for my interest in movies.
Wuchak Released in 2007, "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" continues the adventures of the Fantastic Four with Reed (Ioan Gruffudd) and Sue (Jessica Alba) getting married, but their wedding is interrupted by a literal herald of global destruction, the Silver Surfer (voiced by none other than Laurence Fishburne). Michael Chiklis, Chris Evans and Julian McMahon return as The Thing, the Human Torch and Dr. Doom respectively, not to mention Kerry Washington as Alicia Masters. Andre Braugher and Beau Garrett are on hand as General Hager and Capt. Frankie Raye.I've been a fan of the Fantastic Four since my childhood and felt that the 2005 movie was a very good set-up for the series despite fumbling the ball with Dr. Doom and a mediocre action climax. With the presence of the Silver Surfer and Galactus I was expecting a great sequel, but it was not to be. The first half is quite good, however, with the main cast comfortable in their roles and obviously having a good time. But something goes awry in the second half where the proceedings get dull. It's hard to pinpoint the problem, but clearly they needed to work some kinks out in the script. On the positive side, Dr. Doom is better portrayed than in the first film. Despite my criticisms, there's enough good here to give "Rise of the Silver Surfer" a lukewarm 'thumbs up,' just don't expect greatness.The film runs 92 minutes and was shot in British Columbia, California, New York City, Germany (The Black Forest), China, Japan and Greenland.GRADE: B-
cagribudak Better just our short movie from high school, you can even laugh. But this trash think... This is dishonoring Galactus. Just don't watch this trash retard pathetic movie.Only burning man is good in this movie. Others:trash - Galactus is not a beast but titan. - Silver Surfer is not a brainless retard. He is serving to Galactus for millions of years and one day 4 idiot comes and changing his mind. Funny. They are insulting our minds. - Why this have to be 10 lines. Only this would be enough: Don't Watch. - Worst film in Marvel Universe, it has only one rival: F4-1 - Are we done yet? Don't watch, enough let me finish.
