Much Improvement Than Previous Movie

Rating: 8/10 (11 October 2007)

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007, Dir. Tim Story)
After defeating Von Doom, the Fantastic Four can really enjoy life more. All four are now comfortable with their new powers. The Thing and Johnny Storm now get along with each other, and Sue Storm is now planning to be Mrs. Fantastic. Galactus, an evil creature in space, has decided that Earth is it's new target, and sends the Silver Surfer to destroy it. Reed Richards and his team must now work together to capture this surfer, and even must now team up with one individual who they didn't expect to help.
Although the first 'Fantastic Four' movie wasn't much loved amongst comic book fans, i really enjoyed the movie and was really looking forward to the sequel, especially when i found out that not just the Silver Surfer was appearing, but Von Doom was also returning. Julian McMahon did a marvellous job on the first film, and he does an even great job in the sequel. Doug Jones is a master of mime and really brings the Silver Surfer to life. With a slight CGI touch-up and a Laurence Fishburne voice which didn't distract, the Silver Surfer was introduced as an amazing comic book character. The atmosphere of the movie was very different this time, but for the better. There was still some slight moments which felt like they didn't belong in the film, and Mr Fantastics elastic CGI moments still looked a bit off, but apart from these minor gripes, 'Rise of the Silver Surfer' was a improvement and a lot more enjoyable.
