Review of Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007) by Benh — 17 Jul 2007

I dunno what the problem is with critics these days... they don't seem to rate a movie on what it is.. they want another Schindlers list or something equally as deep. News flash!, comic books aren't meant to be deep (Well most of them), they are meant to be action a bit of comedy and stick to the storyline of the comic book that made them so damn.

. well.. fantastic. I really liked some of the stuff they did the merging of powers was cool and I never really had a bored moment in it. However I do have three very big problems with this film 1) Silver Surfer never says.

. TO ME MY BOARD!, even though they give him the perfect chance to do it. 2) Galactus is a giant smoke screen and the little we do see of his face is fire? What the hell, I love silver surfer but the possibility of seeing Galactus was what drew me to this movie.

. I didn't see him once.. I saw a shadow of his head on Jupiter :S that was about it... very disappointing. 3) Silver Surfer who Galactus gave a tiny bit of his power was able to kill galactus... and yet seemingly survive at the end.

... ok cmon now your stretching things.. Galactus would have laughed, with that awesome voice of his, at the pure audacity of such an attempt.. Silver Surfer is meant to beg for Galactuses mercy and then be trapped to earth forever for his treachery.

.. Why Stan lee allowed someone to change this we will never know I guess. Ok other then that I was entertained but severely disappointed at the changes in storyline.
