Fantastic Four - Rise of the Silver Surfer

I enjoyed this movie very much and think that it should have rated a 5.0

cheesy fun

Okay, let me just get this out of the way: Jessica Alba should never again dye her hair blonde. It looks idiotic. And I like Jessica Alba.

Sue Storm (Jessica Alba) and Reed Richards (Ioan Gruffudd) are trying to have a wedding. But fame and Weird Stuff Going On (caused by the arrival of the Silver Surfer) keep interrupting their plans.

The military demands that Reed solve the problem, and Sue demands that he give their wedding all his attention, so he keeps his work on the problem secret from her. Which of course causes more problems than just admitting it.

I have to admit I'm not even remotely familiar with the FF comics, so I'm just along for the ride.

We've got the 4 of them, dealing variously with their fame, which I liked very much.

We've got Reed keeping secrets from Sue and the two of them trying to get married but getting interrupted, which I also liked very much.

We've got a wonderful sequence when the Silver Surfer causes them all to switch powers, that's both funny (Sue gets her brother's fire) and poignant (Ben's temporarily himself again, and not The Thing), which I liked very much.

We've got the return of Dr. Doom (Julian McMahon), who's conned the military, which I liked very much.

And we've got the 4 superheroes fighting--not only the bad guys, but fighting ignorance by being smart and trying to figure out who the Silver Surfer is and why he's doing what he's doing. And I liked that very much as well.

Fun special effects, too.

It's not a perfect movie--it's over-the-top and cheesy--but it's supposed to be--it's a comic-book movie. Great fun. I enjoyed it.

Good, but not great

This movie continues the Fantastic Four series, but adds very little to it. There are some great special effects, a cameo of Stan Lee, and a lot of typical "military officers are torturing, arrogant, men with big egos" garbage. The idea of taking a prisoner to Sibera to be tortured while being watched by US military people is amazingly stupid for so many reasons I almost shut it off right there.

There are some good moments and this movie is worth watching, but I regret buying it and it is on my "trade" shelf waiting for a chance to step up to something else.
