Better than the first movie with the presence of silver surfer (visually at least). Carefully dodging any serious plot possibility, stays on the safe water. Old school "save the world" superhero movie with new age special fx. Power shifting scenes are especially entertaining. For those waiting for Galactus will listen to a shallow sub story and have to eat shades and a dark cloud.

A SILVER SURFER?!?!?! What?! What does that mean?! The T-1000 goes surfing and promises to devour us all from his SURF BOARD!?! THE BEACH BOYS MEETS THE END OF THE WORLD?!? WHAT!?! WHAT DOES THAT MEAN!?!?!?

About as bland as the first one, perhaps even more so. It's super weird that Mark Frost co-wrote them. The effects are horrible, particularly when Mr. Fantastic uses his powers.

I'm gonna say I like this a little bit more than the first. The Silver Surfer himself is presented much better than the first villain, Dr. Doom. Still, his motives kind of contradict himself and he isn't fleshed out the best. The cast/performances aren't substantially better than the first, the cornball writing is still very present and due to all of this, This version of the superheroes are not on par with what fans expect, and thankfully, this series was essentially killed.

This sequel has better action and the humour doesn't suck as bad, but once finished you'll realise the entire plot is a sham. The Silver Surfer endangers the planet, then saves the planet all by himself. Not only that, but his motivations and ability to avoid the situation were already in place before arriving. At least he looks cool while he's here. Meanwhile, the Fantastic Four are suitably attired for what amounts to a cheerleading role.

I'd like to think this was made for young kids, but Pixar films are a heck of a lot better than this. There are some ok action sequences but there are multiple problems here: neither the CGI nor the makeup are capable of making stretching powers or the Thing look "real"; Doom's miscast & needs a voiceover; & Sue's complaints make her seem selfish. What kills this though is the writing. There are plotholes (why's Surfer making craters?) & little feels at stake w/ all the groan-worthy jokes.

Absolutely odious. Beyond the juvenile script, abhorrent acting, cheap FX (The Thing's hands look like something you buy at a paper goods store for Halloween), you had an utterly confused moral and ethical message and, to top it all off, gratuitous shots at the United States military. One of the worst things I've ever seen, and hopefully a career-ender for the people that brought it to the screen.

The first movie was a disappointment, this movie is an abomination. Childish, cartoony, lame, cheesy, corny, and it sucks an outside Marvel character into the mix to get his fair share of suckiness. The Fantastic Four should have just left Silver Surfer alone.

I didn't watch the first one. This one was as expected though: standard hero-movie-grade fx, hallow acting, and a save-the-world plot. The best thing was the silver surfer.. oh no, I think the best one was the cameo of Stan Lee (yeah right)

Enjoyable sequel is a bright and cheery entertainment, tightly and efficiently made (coming in at under 90 minutes) and served competently by its cast. Some clunky one-liners, and an ugly and illogical characterisation of Alba's character and mind-set in the early stages, are minor missteps for this otherwise benign and zippy piece of entertainment.

Miles better than the original, but so is sticking your finger in a pencil sharpener. It fixes a lot of the first one's superficial problems (the plot has stakes, the effects are good, it's fun, etc.), but can't overcome its awful characterizations. As a character, Doom is beyond redemption, he's been flubbed. The Surfer is awesome, but he's just trotted out to look cool on command -- there's no character depth. Maybe it's for the best though. By doing nothing, they couldn't possibly fuck it up.

What a mess. I've no experience of the comic books, so no idea what was going on here. A family of wisecracking superheroes squabble a lot like a bad soap opera, then unite to go up against a naked T-1000 with no penis on a magic intergalactic surfboard. But he's not the real bad guy, he only destroys planets because his overlord forced him to destroy them in order for the overlord to destroy them and oh god I don't know what's happening here.

I didn't exactly love the first one and this didn't do much to really endear me to the franchise. I only saw it because I like Silver Surfer and while he looks cool, he's basically useless. The only people I can predict would enjoy this are big fans of the first film and I'm not sure they exist.

Pretty much the same as the first one, but shakes it up a bit by, instead of Sue and Reed's teenage romance drama, turning Sue into a total bimbo who only worries about the wedding and what the media thinks of her clothes. Thus, the sum of badness remains almost constant, with only a small increase.

This 'Fantastic Four' sequel chronicles the Marvel Comics team - Mr. Fantastic (who's stretchy), The Thing (who's strong), the Human Torch (obvious) and Invisible Woman (who's Jessica Alba) - as they face a new enemy, the Silver Surfer. The Silver dude is sent from outta space by Galactus. The fable of the Silver Surfer goes that, after a bit of time here, he finds humanity something worth saving. Because of the betrayal, Galactus dooms him to spend the rest of his life on Earth. S

It must be tough being outacted by a CGI special effect... Though Julian macMahon's good value as Doom.

Witless, joyless, and completely mediocre in just about every way, "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" is a mess, sure, but it's a dull mess, a movie so lacking in substance or purpose that I struggle to even muster up any semblance of disdain for it. The first was silly, yes, but it had heart, a sitcom-esque upheaval of the superhero genre that worked wonders when working with the little things. This? This is the reality TV equivalent of that same idea. What a dissapointment.

Well... it's better than the first one, I guess. It still suffers from what I can only see as apathy for the material. Doctor Doom was a joke, and Mr Fantastic and Sue Storm are still horribly miscast. On the plus, The Thing and Johnny Storm are still great, and The Surfer was very well done. I hope it does well, if only to allow for a Silver Surfer Spinoff

It's one thing for a movie script to be cliche. It's another for it to be assembled out of cliches, stuck together like Lego blocks, with no concern even for the usual emotional cause-and-effect that makes these cliches reasonably dependable in the first place. There's just nothing in particular *here*, not even a sense of what kind of movie they wanted to make.

Pretty sure all the "humor" in this movie was written by a five year old & directed by a father trying desperately to make it appear funny. Also, everything that went wrong in this movie could have been solved by the characters not being completely stupid.

Not as good as the first one and less action packed than I expected. May have been a bad idea to use the big chase as a trailer. The film also seems a bit disjointed, over edited.

While slightly better than the first, this is still another typically dull experience and aside from a few splashes of CGI and the occasionally lazy character design it has very little to offer.

Ignore the naysayers as this is quite a tight well made movie. The story may be somewhat simple, but it is well done. The cinematography and effects/CG are great as in most Marvel flicks. The cast is back and clicking with great chemistry, and what great casting having Jones as the body and Fishburne as the voice of the Silver Surfer.
