The Silver Surfer Soars!

Rating: 8/10 (26 June 2007)

I was lucky enough to get into a preview of FF:ROTSS a couple of weeks ago and like it quite a bit. Granted, it's over the top action and fun, but that's what FF always was to me. Dynamic movement, explosions and cosmic adventure. In many ways, I think this movie succeeded in ways that Spidey 3 failed - most importantly, the way it used multiple antagonists and tied them together. The film was never boring. The Silver Surfer looks amazing, and the voice is perfect!
Certainly, this is a far better outing than the first Fantastic Four film, and I look forward to more. The cast have settled into these roles. The film also features Stan Lee's best cameo ever (a direct nod to the comics) and a few other surprises.
So, like I said, not exactly brain surgery - but a fun film that, to me, embraced the spirit of the FF.
