This is not how it should be done.

Rating: 4/10 (17 July 2007)

I was never really a big fan of the Fantastic Four, and I never really became a fan after the first movie was released in 2005. However, I was thrilled to know that in the next movie, the Silver Surfer had a bid role in the movie. Enough reason to see the film. Or so I thought...
For those who do not know the Silver Surfer: It's a great Marvel Character . A lot of mysteriousness and power. And he has the mission of saving his people and his lover. The silver surfer has been around for ages (1966) and now he finally made his way to the big screen.
The movie itself is OK. Not spectacular and not nearly as good as other superhero movies (Batman, spider-man, superman) but I enjoyed it, and I had a few laughs. Which brings me to my next point: This is not a comedy. It a superhero movie and therefor is should be brought in an epic atmosphere. Sure, a few jokes can't hurt anyone. But as I said: this is not a comedy.
the thing in this movie that probably frustrates me most, is that the Silver Surfer is by far the most disappointing (and a bit boring) character in the history of superhero movies. The comics with the fantastic four were not that great, but I hope there will be a movie of the Silver Surfer solo. Then there is the time and the attention the silver surfer deserves.
Finally I'd like to say: A great special effects team and a big budget does not guarantee a successful movie.
