Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer Movie Review

does in the visual effects department, other than the presence of the Silver Surfer. The Silver Surfer s stunning to look at and the movements are beautifully rendered as he soars through the skies. Doug Jones performance of the character is first-rate.

But the main villain, Galactus, is just a big storm cloud which is kind of a letdown after all the doom and gloom build-up. I ve never picked up a comic book in my life and have no plans to start reading them anytime soon. Without a background in the world of , a lot of my questions remained unanswered at the end of the film.

Why does the arrival of the Silver Surfer cause some electrical appliances and even a helicopter to stop working, while other gadgets remain unaffected? Why are some of the Fantastic Four able to keep their clothing on when their bodies transform? There s a cute bit with The Human Torch swapping powers with his super buddies, yet when some of his compadres get all flamely, they still have their clothes on once they ve cooled off.

Of course the only female of the group is the one that winds up completely naked (the filmmakers know their target audience well). And while I m discussing Alba as the female version of The Human Torch, I d like to know why her breasts appeared to have been enhanced during the scenes of her on fire sans clothing. My husband explains it by saying they were inflamed Whatever.

Too much time is wasted on petty personal problems and not enough attention is paid to saving the planet. That should have been the main focus of the film but instead bogs down by concentrating on a wedding. Bad dialogue, bad acting, and a boring storyline make just one more entry in a growing list of unnecessary and ill-conceived sequels.

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer is rated PG for sequences of action violence, some mild language and innuendo.
