Review of The Fantastic Four: Rise of Silver Surfer
This film is a sequel of The Fantastic Four, both films are based in the history of comic book, of the same name, it was created by Stan Lee and is produced in the Marvel's Comic Dr. Reed Richards, aka Mr. Fantastic, and Sue Storm are getting married. Unfortunately, their nuptial continues to get postponed because of their responsibilities (and celebrity) as part of the Fantastic Four. But this time, Reed is determined to make Sue happy by sticking to the wedding plans, even though he's still obsessed with his research. On the other hand, Johnny Storm is still playing the field, as Ben Grimm settles down with Alicia. A mysterious meteorite-like object flies over the globe, creating unnatural phenomena and large craters in various parts of the world. A military operation, headed by General Hager, demands the Fantastic Four to give them some answers. Soon they find out the object is actually a silver alien riding on a silver surfboard, and he's here to destroy Earth. To capture the Silver Surfer, the military enlists Victor Von Doom, who mysteriously reappears. Of course, Victor has his own agenda, and the Fantastic Four discover that it may very well be too late to save the world. Truly this film is aimed at the lower common denominator -- there's really nothing wrong with that. It's just difficult to take this movie seriously, even by comic book standards. There's enough humor and action to entertain us.
