Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer

Rating:  -
Sequels, it's said, are never as good as the original, but this one defies the maxim. Combining juiced-up special effects, trademark Marvel Comics depth of character, and the return of the original acting team, it finds the Fantastic Four--Mr. Fantastic/Reed Richards (Ioan Gruffud), the Invisible Woman/Sue Storm (Jessica Alba), the Human Torch/Johnny Storm (Chris Evans), and the Thing/Ben Grimm (Michael Chiklis)--settled into their roles as popularly-accepted superhero crime-fighters, albeit not without a generous helping of humor, and struggling to find a way to fit Reed and Sue's long-hoped-for wedding in around the obligations of herohood. Then a series of unexplained cosmic, and earth-scale, phenomena bring the Army to their door in the person of Gen. Hager (Andre Braugher), who wants Reed to investigate. The disturbances are the work of an enigmatic being who comes to be known as the Silver Surfer (Laurence Fishburne/Doug Jones), and who is in fact a "herald" for a planet-eating entity he calls Galactus. And Earth is slated to be served up as the latter's next meal. To make matters worse, Hager expects the Four to work with Dr. Doom (Julian McMahon), who has ideas of his own about the whole affair. Everything builds up to a slam-bang climax that I won't even try to describe. If you liked the original, you absolutely must not fail to see this entry into the franchise. (A third entry is in the works, though apparently not with all the original actors.)

I'm glad i went to London before seeing this film. I went on the Londen eye and was staying in that exact area so it would have creeped me out if i saw this film before going to london. Anyway, this second Fantastic 4 was good. I liked the silver surfer and Torche's new ability to trade powers with the other members. Dr. Doom is back and still evil. There were funny moments and lines and overall, this film was fantastic, from start to end. Jessica alba and chris evans were my fav. of the four heroes and of course the silver surfer was cool as sin.

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 is a shameless endorsement / media whore, Ben seems ok with his hot blind black girlfriend.
Surfer crashes the wedding and screws up Johnny's DNA. The military enlists the 4 to help smoke the Surfer, they blow it.
Military now enlists the additional help of Doom much to the chagrin of the 4.
Reed builds a gizmo to mess with the surfer, it works, but not before Sue connects with the Surfer and decides he is "just misunderstood".
Surfer is tortured, Doom betrays all, Reed says "I told you so."
Doom is so super-duper bad now that he has the Surfers board and Johny pretty much turns into a Super-Skrull, just no Thanos chin, pointy ears or galactic domination bent. Johnny beats the jelly out of Doom.
Surfer sacrifices himself to save earth...or does he?
In conclusion, rent it so that we may enjoy a good movie bashing together.
