A fun sequel

Rating: 8/10 (23 August 2007)

The second Fantastic Four movie is all-around a fun action-packed adventure flick but not a substantial improvement over the last film. What's very prominent in this film (more than perhaps in any other Marvel Film) is the element of campy comedy which undoubtedly is what keeps the film afloat through it's less action-packed segments.
All in all, it's nice to see the movie carries the torch of the previous one rather valiantly though you are left with a feeling that they could have done more to spice up the film. In all characterizations were okay and it's also nice to see some more character development for Johnny but the rest of the team weren't as prominent for some reason.
The action is great, the comedy is nice and the plot and cast are solid. On all accounts 'Rise of the Silver Surfer' is a good (but not great) comic-book movie.
