Same Old

Rating: 5/10 (21 August 2019)

This is just another run of the mill comic book adaptation with the usual predictable story line. At least Jessica Alba and Kerry Washington are beautiful enough to give us guys something to look at. Otherwise,I cannot find another reason to recommend it. Then villain is actually a silver guy riding a silver surf board whose mission is to suck all the energy from the earth. The battle scenes are OK but repetitious. The actors seem to have a good time reading through a pedestrian script but at an hour and a half, Rise of the Silver Surfer is a mild diversion from everyday life.
