A little tastier but still far from a gourmet feast.June 23, 2007
The performances are plywooden, the cornball visual gags are groanworthy, and Tim Story still can't direct his way out a sack with a map.June 16, 2007
Many complaints were lobbed at Fantastic Four but no one ever suggested it was too smart. Yet it would seem that everyone came to the sequel, Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer, determined to dumb it down.April 23, 2009
Despite some gratuitous allusions to Gitmo, the third-rate effects and the two-bit characters make this a summer wipeout.August 04, 2015
Largely an improvement over its predecessor, this is a decent attempt at bringing the FF's adventures to the big screen, but still a few fixes away from truly being fantastic.September 22, 2007
An off-brand superhero movie, the cinematic equivalent of one of those generic breakfast cereals with a badly drawn squirrel for a mascot.June 18, 2007
It's funnier and splashier than the original, but I still can't quite recommend it.July 06, 2010
Boring is the deal.February 28, 2008
It doesn't suck. Or maybe I went into the theater with such low expectations that it couldn't possibly be as bad as my imagination had concocted.June 18, 2007
If you swept the cosmic dust of the superhero boom into a flimsy dustpan, you'd have the Fantastic Four franchise.March 03, 2008
When Jessica Alba was at the MTV Movie Awards she called Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer the best family/comedy of the summer. That alone should spell disaster for a superhero film.June 18, 2007
The first movie's genesis story was more fun than the perfunctory doomsday scheme trotted out here.
