just a little better than the first film

Rating: 5/10 (17 May 2008)

This movie was very average. The special effects were OK, certainly nothing great. The story may have been a little better than the first film, but still it's nothing great. An alien, referred to the Silver Surfer, because he gets his power from a surfboard comes to earth. They learn that once the surfer is on a planet for 8 days, that planet is destroyed. The surfer is far more powerful than the fantastic 4, but they devise a plan to separate him from the surfboard. Dr. Doom comes back and very predictably is after the surfboard. They learn the surfer really doesn't want to destroy earth, but is forced to by another entity. The fantastic four persuade the surfer to help them out and try to save earth.
The acting is not very good, and there is no suspense. It's just not well written.
FINAL VERDICT: Not really worth seeing. I just saw Transformers, and it's a much better film, both in plot and special effects.
