Rise of a Franchise

Rating: 9/10 (16 June 2007)

OK so here is my stance on the "Summer of Sequels" they just keep getting better! S-3 was OK, POTC at Worlds End was amazing, and now Fantastic 4 Rise of the Silver Surfer is spectacular! Those who thought Fantastic 4 was good will love this movie. Yes, yes, yes Jessica Alba is in this movie and for those of you who remember she was also in "Idle Hands" so NO, NO, NO she does not make the film, she is good, however the entire cast together carries this film. This film really allows all of the characters to evolve and be true to their origin. As the Marvel movie verse continues to grow, the movies continue to get better and for this genre. The visuals are wonderful, the cast plays to the strengths of their characters and the little gems hidden for the fans are . . . well Fantastic.
