Product Description
The enigmatic, intergalactic herald, The Silver Surfer, comes to Earth to prepare it for destruction. As the Silver Surfer races around the globe wreaking havoc, Reed, Sue, Johnny and Ben must unravel the mystery of the Silver Surfer and confront the surprising return of their mortal enemy, Dr. Doom, before all hope is lost.

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer is another entertaining romp for the Marvel-superhero franchise. Reed Richards, Mr. Fantastic (Ioan Gruffudd), is treading on thin ice when his fiancee, Sue Storm, the Invisible Woman (Jessica Alba), thinks he's more interested in a series of cosmic phenomena occurring around the earth than in the preparations for their upcoming wedding. Sorry, ladies, but Reed is right. The disturbances are caused by a surge of cosmic power from a mysterious being called the Silver Surfer (an all-CGI creation, modeled by Doug Jones and voiced by Laurence Fishburne), who not only zooms around the skies on his board, but also has enough power to fight the FF, sometimes by turning their own power against them, not only mixing up Sue and Reed, but also Johnny Storm, the Human Torch (Chris Evans), and Ben Grimm, the Thing (Michael Chiklis). But that's not the worst of it. The Surfer is only an opening act, a herald looking for planets! that his master, Galactus, can consume for his sustenance. With its initial installment, Fantastic Four established itself as the superhero franchise that didn't take itself too seriously, and that continues here. There are numerous moments of laugh-out-loud humor, and the most angst they suffer is whether Sue and Reed will ever be able to live a normal family life. (That, and whether they'll ever really get married, of course.) If Fantastic Four were a normal superhero franchise, the ending would be a knock-down drag-out war with Galactus, featuring the FF in a colossal battle for the planet Earth and the lives of everyone on it. Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer just doesn't do that, and we don't quite get the payoff we expected. Effects are dazzling, but the Surfer looks too metallic, more like a skyriding T-1000 robot. --David Horiuchi Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer Extras

 Fan of the Four May 6, 2009
N. Peake (BigApple)
I am a big fan of the Fantastic Four, and loved the first movie, flaws n' all. True...I thought the second fell short ( and given the first was not incredibly great) I waited to purchase it. But today, in this day in time..you can get a great copy from a reliable vendor for about five dollars...well worth it to add to your superhero movie collection.

I love the Fantastic Four comic and having followed them for 30 years - it's been a long time coming for many fans to get the FF and the Silver Surfer in one film. I watched the first film and thought it was a lot better than critics gave it credit for. However - Rise of the Silver Surfer was supposed to up the ante and in some ways it does, but the characters fail to move beyond their one-dimensional veneer. I left this film feeling like they were still the bubblegum hollywood manufactured versions of the comic characters, which was disappointing. Yes, there is a little gee-whiz humour, but I can't help feeling that the cast is simply too lightweight with the exception of Dr Doom (played by Julian Mcmahon) and Johnny Storm (Chris Evans) - who is meant to be who he portrays - a reckless hot head.
Jessica Alba looks pretty, but pretty like a flower in a vase. Ioan Gruffudd has never quite cut it for me as Reed Richards in the gravitas department. The net effect is a lack of real chemistry and I often wonder how casting this whole troupe differently could have made a difference.
The film itself presents an epic storyline that should have really either been just the Silver Surfer, or Galactus, or Dr Doom. Instead we get a bit of everyone but not quite enough of each supporting villain / character and the result is a lightweight TV show. Galactus is the most mindblowing FF end of the world scenario - and yet, we don't get that. Not even close. The effects are great, and the Silver Surfer looks a lot better than his still picture, but there are so many wasted opportunities here when one considers the myriad of storylines that the producers and writers could have adapted from the comic's amazing history. Truly wasted.
So, instead of compelling, we get something lighter than Spider Man and nowhere near Iron Man, but still better than the dismal Daredevil. None of this of course hurt the movie's box office success, but let's see if the future Silver Surfer movie can thrill us more.
Julian should get his own Dr Doom film. He has the presence and the cool which the other Fantastic Four members desperately need. Watchable, but what a waste. LOTR Peter Jackson should take this on.

The first movie is well done, but I thought the Rise of the Silver Surfer is better yet, which is surprising considering second episodes usually aren't as better as the first. The powers of the 4 is the same, but there is a twist in this second, which is surprising, and I am one of those guys who likes surprises, especally in second movies. The Silver Surfer character has amazing powers and he uses them to the hilt at the end when he relearns compassion after worlds of mindless obedience. Great plot. Great story. Nice special effects. It was worth the wait to purchase on dvd.
