Fantastic Four: Rise of The Silver Surfer Review

This movie was one of those, that when I saw the first one and heard about a sequel, I wasn't very impressed. I just didn't think that there would be enough of a fan base for another one to do well in the box office. But it seems I was wrong, and after seeing it, I'm pleasantly surprised.

The plot goes something like this: all is well on planet earth until an alien being, the Silver Surfer, comes down and begins to cause molecular anomalies all over the planet. When the Fantastic Four learn that 8 days after the Silver Surfer arrives on a planet, it dies, they have to find a way to save the Earth from an almost certain doom.

I am personally not a very big fan of the Fantastic Four. I was always more of an X-Men or Spiderman fan, but I was still interested in how they would present the Silver Surfer and eventually Galactus. After watching the movie, I'm happy with how it turned out. The dialog was good enough for a comic book movie, and quite funny at times. The real joy I got from this movie was seeing the Silver Surfer come to life on the big screen. He's truly an amazing character. I wish they had developed him a little more, but with minimal development, I'm sure the audience was able to see who he really was. This movie would probably interest you if your a fan of the Fantastic Four, like comic books in general, enjoy fantasy/sci-fi cinematic adventures or find Jessica Alba incredibly hot.

This movie was good, but seeing it once is enough. It probably won't have the prestigious honor of being added to my collection once it hits DVD.
