Cheesier and more clichéd than the first but, as such, far more memorable.

Rating: 5/10 (17 April 2018)

'Fantastic 4: Rise Of The Silver Surfer (2007)' is generally more interesting than the first even if it is less intelligent and takes a number of glaring missteps in terms of both its tone and treatment of certain source elements. Once the actual superhero stuff gets underway, it's just as passively enjoyable as the franchise was initially, though sadly just as camp too. It was around the time that Mr. Fantastic's computer-generated arms 'Mr. Tickled' themselves around two 'bodacious babes' and awkwardly reeled them in during a far too long and far too uncomfortable dance sequence set at his stag party that I realised what I was in for: an experience perhaps even cheesier and more clichéd than the original. That does mean that, for better or worse, it is actually far more memorable. 5/10
