From the very onset of its being announced, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer stood out as one of the least expected sequels of the year. After the lackluster box office and critical reviews of the first adaptation of the classic Marvel comics team, it seemed unlikely that any further mileage would be attempted to be extracted from the source material.
Better just our short movie from high school, you can even laugh. But this trash think...
I had seen this movie when it hit the screens and saw it again yesterday. in the meantime many comics became movies, but it is still very rare to see something equally entertaining.
Mr. Fantastic/Reed Richards (Ioan Gruffudd), Invisible Woman/Sue Storm (Jessica Alba), Human Torch/Johnny Storm (Chris Evans), and The Thing/Ben Grimm (Michael Chiklis) make up the Fantastic 4.
I'm surprised the first "Fantastic Four" (2005) was financially successful enough to make this equally, if not more so, dull sequel, "Rise of the Silver Surfer." At least, audiences had seen enough by then for another installment to be cancelled, although that wouldn't prevent the 2015 reboot dud.
Released in 2007, "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" continues the adventures of the Fantastic Four with Reed (Ioan Gruffudd) and Sue (Jessica Alba) getting married, but their wedding is interrupted by a literal herald of global destruction, the Silver Surfer (voiced by none other than Laurence Fishburne). Michael Chiklis, Chris Evans and Julian McMahon return as The Thing, the Human Torch and Dr.
Terrible movie... actually NOT worth more comment than that.
Even grading on the superhero movie curve, this is one big, dumb, clichéd $130 million mess.Recommendation to avoid if you have a functioning brain and sense of humour.
The first Fantastic Four movie from 2005 is straight up bad in my opinion, none of the characters are interesting or have any development. Doctor Doom is adapted incredibly poorly compared to his interesting character in the comic books.
