Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer

Pros: Wonderful special effects, new character (The Silver Surfer).
Cons: The curse of the sequels, slow pacing, Alba's poor acting.

The four comic book heroes the Fantastic Four take the big screen again with a cosmic opening that begins in space. The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007) revolves around Mr. Fantastic a.k.a Reed Richards (Ioan Gruffudd) plans to ...

Pros: Quite funny in places, most FX...
Cons: ... dull characters, inconsistent script

I found the first Fantastic Four film to be reasonably entertaining but nothing special. There was quite a bit of speculation that with the introduction of the Silver Surfer into this sequel that this would be a much more enjoyable outing. While ...

Pros: Very special special effects, humor
Cons: Acting not too great, but who cares

"The Fantastic Four-The Rise of the Silver Surfer" is made special by, surprise!, it's special effects and the humor in the movie. Unlike most of the other "super hero" movies, this series is more light-hearted. Oh, the ultimate accomplishment of the ...

Pros: Silver Surfer; Chilkis and Evans; Fantasti-car
Cons: Dr. Doom and Galactus

The potential to do the Fantastic Four franchise a great service was wasted. The title says it all: Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. Silver Surfer! One of my favourite Marvel Comics’ character was finally coming to the ...

Pros: Silver Surfer is cool for the moments he gets screen time
Cons: bad acting, poor script, lack of action scenes, tries to be funny

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (FF: RotSS) is yet another volley by Hollywood into the overkill of comic-book based films for this decade. With the hit and misses Marvel has managed with X-Men and Spiderman, to the more hated Ghost Rider and ...

Pros: The Silver Surfer. Tasteful use of CGI.
Cons: Little explanation of critical story elements.

The “Comic Book Movie” trend continues. This time, we have a sequel to the 2005 film on one of the first superhero teams, the Fantastic Four. In this new film, the lives of our heroes are followed, with an introduction to a classic character in ...

Pros: Evans and Chiklis, some fun with product placement
Cons: These two are getting married? And many other things

Being an old fan of the comics (at least the old ones, since I don't buy comics now), I was looking forward to Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (commonly shortend to RotSS). I had enjoyed the first film well enough, despite recognizing ...

Pros: Nice special effects, good music, some acting
Cons: Shameless product placement, impossible to take it seriously

Even though Fantastic Four Rise of the Silver Surfer was not my first choice, I still walked in the theater with hopes of seeing a good film. My expectations on the film were very low and I must say the film passed them but all that doesn’t exactly ...

Pros: steady well-paced action, plenty of visual treats and amusing moments
Cons: not as deep, or with enough character development as some would like

This sequel to the first Fantastic Four film has not been met with great enthusiasm, which puzzles me. Here, a silver humanoid figure on what appears to be a surfboard begins appearing all over the world and wreaking havoc. When the Silver Surfer ...

Pros: visuals, consistent characters, well written, Johnny, genuine twists and surprises, fewer inconsistencies
Cons: a few irritating moments and moments of bad science, infrequently a touch preachy

While the first Fantastic Four movie didn't blow me away, I decided it had been good enough to warrant giving the sequel a try. I'm very glad I did. Most of the things that I didn't like about the first movie were fixed here and, overall, it was a vastly ...

Pros: Good visual effects. Funny moments. Silver Surfer was great CGI.
Cons: Alba's contacts. Julian McMahon's acting. Holes in logic. Ending made no sense.

For me, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer was one of this summer’s films I was most looking forward to. I enjoyed the first film for the fun, if unsubstantial, film that it was and after they’d gotten the introductory film out of the way I ...

Pros: Johnny Storm's Sub Plot
Special Effects
Cons: Nothing to connect audience to characters
A little more dialog than necessary from Surfer

Starting off, I'm not a Fantastic Four fan. With that said, lets move on. Fantastic Four was released in 2005. Despite a very excellent subplot revolving around Ben Grimm (Michael Chiklis) and his having to adapt to life as “The Thing”, the original ...

Pros: Silver Surfer and Human Torch are very cool! Some good special effects.
Cons: Desecration of Pop Culture Icons!

Desecrated. That's the first word that comes to mind as I attempt to describe what Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer has done to the 45 year old pop culture icons, the Fantastic Four. So, so, sad. The best thing I could say about the first FF ...

Pros: Fun moments, good action and pacing.
Cons: thin plot.

The most dysfunctional super hero squad ever assembled, The Fantastic Four, returns to the big screen in “The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. Since audiences last visited the crime busting quartet, the group has become media ...

Pros: Good action and special effects
Cons: Still a little corny and the characters are one-dimensional

If there’s one thing to be said about “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer,” it’s that it’s a significant improvement upon the original. I have to say I got a lot more out of it than I expected and didn’t hate it by any ...
