A victim of Marvel's success

Rating: Null/10 (6 August 2015)

This film tells the story of the four superheroes who fight against a mysterious but powerful enemy on a silver surfboard.
Superhero films, especially Marvel films, have come a long way in the past yen years. When the first "Fantastic Four" was released ten years ago, it was just another blockbuster film. This sequel was also unable to create much shockwaves. In just a few years, Marvel films have become sensations. The films have become very entertaining, and yet every film seems to surpass the previous one. A Marvel film opening is certainly an event in itself.
With this background, I'm sure if I watched "4: Rise of the Silver Surfer" when it was first released, I would have enjoyed it a lot better. The film mixes action with quite a lot of comedic scenes. It also has a lot of eye candies, which should be a recipe for success. This film has fallen victim of Marvel's success.
However, I guess viewers are all very spoilt. I find the comedic scenes too ridiculous. The silver surfer look so fake that it looks like a B movie computer graphic. The plot doesn't provide enough thrills either, because a collapsing London Eye just doesn't make the cut anymore.
