One of my favorite early superhero movies

Rating: 6/10 (1 June 2020)

An alien called the Silver Surfer comes to earth to prepare the planet to be consumed by a planet-eating being, Galactus. The Fantastic 4 must cooperate with Doom to save the world from destruction, in which he himself has his own agenda.
The teamwork of Fantastic 4 is fantastic. That is the best thing this movie has to offer. The design and appearance of Galactus is too bad: a powerless hungry giant cloud. The relationship between Ben and Alicia is more lovable than Reed and Sue's. It is nice to see Doom again, but it was not his full potential. His armor is cool, but he should have worn a green cape instead of black.
+ The good: The Thing's make-up; The visual effects of Invisible Woman & Human Torch's powers, the Silver Surfer and his board, Galactus and the destructions; the production design, music, villain, action scenes; the teamwork, emotional and character development of the Fantastic 4; casting and performances of Ioan Gruffudd as Dr. Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, Jessica Alba as Susan Storm/Invisible Woman (at least better than the first movie), Chris Evans as Johnny Storm/Human Torch, Michael Chiklis as Ben Grimm/The Thing, Doug Jones and Laurence Fishburne as Norrin Radd/Silver Surfer, Julian McMahon as Victor von Doom/Doctor Doom, Kerry Washington as Alicia Masters, and Andre Braugher as General Hager.

The bad: The visual effects of Mr. Fantastic's stretchy power and the FantastiCar; the costumes of the Fantastic 4 and Doom are not improved; more action scenes are highly expected.
