More Surfer, less talk...

Rating: Null/10 (15 October 2007)

Overall, I liked RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER- even though his part amounts to little more than an extended cameo... And where was Galactus, the omnipotent being whose herald the Surfer was? (Was that his barely-glimpsed visage we barely glimpsed?) And wasn't it The Super Skrull who had the powers of all four of the Fantastic Four? No doubt done for comedy relief, the interchanging of powers wore pretty thin pretty quick. Maybe the youngsters found it funny (the way the filmmakers must've figured they'd find Reed Richards's elongated break-dancing funny), but the gag wore thin pretty quickly. At least Stan Lee's cameo was true to the comic.
