Entertaining, but oh-so-cheesy and predictable

Rating: 5/10 (3 October 2007)

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, was supposed to be one of the big summer events, but over all didn't make it as huge of an impact as expected, but I was hearing pretty good things from my friends who saw it. But I wanted to wait for the rental since I really wasn't into the first one, the first one just was so silly and didn't keep my attention. I have to say that Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer was definitely better than I expected and so much better than the original Fantastic Four, but I think I will probably skip out on the next sequel, this just isn't my type of super hero story. But that's the way Marvel has always been, very cheesy and silly, but the hero's always save the day. I think also I'm having a problem since Jessica Alba is getting nothing but the "hot factor" publicity lately, so I can't help but be sarcastic during her scenes where it seems like she really can't act, no offense to her. But Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer is just glitzy effects with a fun story.
The fantastic four are back and Sue and Reed are about to get married, but that is quickly interrupted when a planet eating rock is about to destroy their world. The Silver Surfer is destroying country by country and when they get ahold of him they know his surfing board is the source of his power and if put into the wrong hands, well, things could just get so much worse. But the fantastic four ban together to save the world once again.
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer is definite entertainment, a lot of special effects and a decent story, but the actors are still not that great in my opinion. I feel actually so bad because I know there are a lot of comic book fans who love this kind of story and grew up with the fantastic four, but I guess I should just stick to Batman, I prefer the darker stuff, for super hero's I always thought that yeah, they should have some cheesiness to the story, but not when it takes over the whole film, you know? But I would recommend if you're just looking for a fun little action film, it is major eye candy, I'm talking mostly about Jessica Alba though, lol, just kidding.
