Review of Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007) by Lukechristiansc — 10 Aug 2015

Tim Story's sequel is a largely an improvement to it's predecessor, but it still has the problems that the first film had it's poorly edited and it's riddled with the cliche's also it's a boring story and plot.

Fantastic 4: Rise-Of The Silver Surfer is an interesting film but screenwriters Mark Frost and Don Payne at least keep the film going and keeps us interested with the story and not make it boring like the last one.

The franchise still goes in it care-free direction, but it does something that the first one hasn't done yet and that is entertaining enough, the first one wasn't entertaining it just gave us a cheesy super hero story and mindless action sequences it was boring.

Hack du-jour Tim Story has returned to direct, Story gives us non accurate action sequences but he actually does not make the fun invisible, he actually goes CGI crazy delivering scene after scene. But at this at this point he should just make comedies instead, he does not how know this action genre at all.

The comedic timing was off and it didn't work. The villain is weak the only reason he is there is just trying to take the team down that's the only reason the character has no motivation. The cast does have some chemistry, that's what makes the movies watchable.

After defeating Von Doom, the Fantastic Four can really enjoy life more. All four are now comfortable with their new powers. The Thing and Johnny Storm now get along with each other, and Sue Storm is now planning to be Mrs.

Fantastic. Galactus, an evil creature in space, has decided that Earth is it's new target, and sends the Silver Surfer to destroy it. Reed Richards and his team must now work together to capture this surfer, and even must now team up with one individual who they didn't expect to help.
