Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer

One of the most enjoyable pictures of the season.

It's a decent comic-book movie that delivers its goods with good humor and a minimum of bloat.

At a time when tortured superheroes like Spider-Man, Superman and Batman would benefit from some serious psychotherapy, it's almost refreshing to see a comicbook caper as blithe, weightless and cheerfully dumb as Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.

The early dilemma in "Rise of the Silver Surfer " is this: Save the world or marry Jessica Alba . Your conscience says, "Save the world." But the Maxim reader in you knows better.

Diverting, at times even visually impressive, but has neither the spirit or style of "Spider-Man" nor the ambition of "X-Men."

A tedious, incoherent bore.

Surely the dullest of Hollywood's many comic-book-derived summer movies, "Silver Surfer" is drearier than corn dying in the Iowa sun, slower than molasses in Antarctica.

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. Threat on a planetary scale. More interesting, captivating and cooler. Now, The Fantastic Four is not a boring team of superheroes as it was in the first film, but a strong family that can even resist Galactic evil.

These movies really nail the characters and their chemistry, this one maybe a bit less than the first one. The complaints about Galactus being a big cloud are silly, a giant purple guy standing next to Earth wouldn't have looked good or made any sense in the context of these movies. Doom is ridiculous in this movie and could have been used better.

Anyone above the age of 13 who is not a fan of comic books will find Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer to be a dull, incoherent bore. For comic book fans of any age, the cinematic mutilation of one of the most renowned and beloved Marvel comic book epics is a horror. It transforms recognisable individuals to soulless visual effects and one of the darkest and most frightening villains to an interplanetary storm cloud.

Eğer bu haliyle devam etseydi -ki edemezdi- süper kahraman filmleri, telef olurdu bu izleyici kitlesi !

This sequel is an improvement over the previous Fantastic Four movie, but it’s still awful and has a lot of the same problems as its predecessor. The slightly overly campy tone, bad character depictions (especially the antagonists), bad casting (mainly for Sue Storm and Victor von Doom), etc. The acting is at least an improvement over the one in the previous Fantastic Four film and so is the action. This has more action and a better plot than previous one and Laurence Fishburne was perfectly cast as the voice of Noran Rad a.k.a. “The Silver Surfer”. That’s it for the positives. The scenes where the Fantastic Four members switched powers by touching each other were stupid, cringe-worthy, and didn’t make sense. It was somewhat explained by Reed Richards who is the scientific genius of the team, but I still don’t buy that poorly written “scientific” explanation. The general was an idiot to trust Victor over the Fantastic Four after the Human Torch accidentally screwed up their rescue mission in England and it later cost him his own life after Doctor Doom steals the Silver Surfer’s board and kills him. I actually heard that Nick Fury was originally going to have the role of the general in this sequel, but I’m so glad that idea was scrapped (because of Marvel Studios obviously owning the rights to that character instead of Constantin Film), cause that character would’ve been ruined by the idiots of Constantin. The Silver Surfer was half-assed in this movie and was heavily nerfed. It seemed that the dumbass writers did not understand his character. He’s the one who gives his silver hovering board its powers, but in this movie it’s the other way around and he is supposed to travel on his board at light speed, so the Human Torch should not have been able to catch up to him in that chase scene. The Silver Surfer in the comics still has superpowers even when he is not on his board, but in this movie he is completely powerless and useless without it. What a huge waste of the amazing actors Doug Jones (who physically portrayed the Silver Surfer by doing the CGI mo-cap for the character) and Laurence Fishburne (who dubbed the Silver Surfer’s voice). But he was still the best character in this movie and that is quite saying a lot. Doctor Doom was once again butchered and the writers and Constantin still did not seem to know what they wanted to do with the character. He is one of the top 10 best supervillains in Marvel Comics and yet, none of these movies have ever gotten him right yet and were an embarrassment to him and fans. He was such a piss poor supervillain in this movie whose motivation was idiotic. He helps knock the Silver Surfer off his board only to have himself steal it later and use it to attempt to stop and destroy Galactus, so he can have all the glory to himself even after Mister Fantastic rightfully informs him that only the Silver Surfer could control the board properly and stop Galactus and save the planet from him, but Doom being too stubborn, arrogant, egotistical, prideful, stupid, and pigheaded to listen to Reed which ultimately led to his downfall and death near the end of the third act. He technically wasn’t even really a villain in this movie, just an idiotic superhero wannabe. Don’t even get me started on Galactus. He was the absolute worst part of the movie, even worse than how Doctor Doom was portrayed. He had no lines, no face, and no voice. He was literally just a humongous CGI purple storm cloud. Constantin Film is **** for completely butchering him like that.
