Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer

Pros: The storyline, performances by Chiklis and Evans
Cons: The fast movement in surfing scenes with Evans were annoying

With Victor Von Doom (Julian McMahon) locked away in storage at the finish of the first Fantastic Four big screen flick, the Fantastic Four were living their lives as normally as they could. With endorsements covering their new superhero costumes, fame ...

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: 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: Didn't loose any points to the previous one. Good special effects
Cons: Nothing

Once again, a movie based on a comic story. The hero in all of us wants to see this movie. It is a great story with some action, I thought there would be more action. The live lesson taught to all of us; It is never easy to be important and a hero in ...

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: 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 graphics and fight scenes.
Cons: The acting was not as good as the first movie.

This movie overall was average when it comes to the plot. The acting was in my opinion, cheesier than in the first and Jessica Alba looked very plastic in this movie. I was impressed with the graphics and the fight scenes were amusing but the dialog ...

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: 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: 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: 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 ...

Pros: storyline,family fun
Cons: movie I thought was actually short

well this movie had all the original cast back which is always good. Not a bad movie but would not pay to watch in theaters. Then again this a movie is pretty much for kids, at least that is my opinion about it. Storyline is new and different. A new ...

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: 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: 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 ...
