Silver Surfer is not Gold

Rating: 7/10 (16 June 2007)

Like everyone else that reviews movies, I want to start with everyone's main problem. Galactus. In the comics he's a nasty purple giant. Sounds menacing? Well in the movie, hes a bad-a$$, huge, planet eating, thunderstorm looking cloud. Not just a cloud. A cloud with f'in arms.
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer IS better than the than the little, one action scene first movie. I liked this movie for its sharp story and nice action scenes, where the CGI was good. The Story, like i said, was good sharp and good, but was too much joking around and talking.
Now the bad. I think this movie could have been longer if they took the time to add DEPTH. There was no depth to the story. Things happened and were explained in a SNAP. There was no suspense or anything to make you worry the story would not have a sad ending. I would like to see a couple of action scenes where all of them tear up the town and fail. Try another scene, fight and fail. Learn their lessons and succeed. FF2 did not have this. I don't like that. But thats my opinion not fact. The other wrongs were bad jokes, and wasted time doing nothing, and i know they tried to pull in some kind of mushy sadness...but it wasn't there. And i gotta tell you, Jessica Alba looked hot wen she was on fire, naked.
IN the end FF2 was not bad, or great either. Its great to take the kids to see, or your girlfriend. But don't expect The Matrix in this movie, cause remember. Its PG.
