Editorial Reviews: Offering a real improvement on its predecessor and successfully introducing one of the world of comics’ most popular characters in the process, Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer easily warrants some attention on DVD to go with its impressive box office take.

Picking up where the surprisingly tepid original left off, Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer finds the Marvel Comics Universe’s first family dealing with the celebrity that their powers have brought them, to the point where even a simple wedding can’t take place without interruption.

The film then takes a little while to re-establish its characters and re-introduce some of the issues that underpin them. But it’s not too long before the Silver Surfer arrives, and things really get into gear. For make no mistake: it’s the Surfer who ignites the film and provides some of the very best moments of Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer. Backed up by some superb special effects work, he’s a far more interesting draw that the returning Julian McMahon as Dr Doom.

While there are, inevitably, various problems that each of the characters in Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer must face, the film never opts to go knee-deep into them. Instead, it chooses a light, breezy tone, that’s suited well to family viewing yet not without some genuine blockbuster moments.

It’s no classic, but Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer is most certainly fun. And it’s equally certain that this isn’t the last we’ve seen of this quintet of heroes... --Jon Foster

Summary: Don't touch this with a bargepole... or anything else
Comment: This film is absolute rubbish - badly made, a terrible storyline, cringeworthy at times.

And I write as someone that enjoyed the first Fantastic Four film and I have watched it 3 or 4 times (I'd give that one 4 stars for entertainment value - fun and easy on the brain).

In contrast, this second film is a mess - even down to one of the worst Stan Lee appearances.

I only wish Galactus had devoured this film - be warned!

Summary: Less than Fantastic
Comment: This film is good if you can manage to poke your fingers into your eyes and ignore Jessica Alba and the fact that she seems to have been coated with orange wax and given the worst wig in history. The other characters are as good as they were in the first film and there are some cool plot twists. Unfortunately, I found it so hard not to focus on the fact that Ms Alba was made up to look like the bastard lovechild of a genetically disadvantaged Barbie Doll and a packet of Wotsits that it essentially spoiled a film that I had been really looking forward to seeing.

Summary: how not to make a sequel
Comment: This is a good example of how not to make a sequel.
The first movie of the series was watchable and interesting but the second movie lacks the continuity of the action , the cool special effects and the story line.

The enemy is not much of a threat, looks weak and does not stand a change against the fantastic 4 . Jessica Alba's hair looks out of place and the dinamics of he main caracters turn dull and boring.

This movie might interest lovers of the genre and will bore the rest of us.

2 stars for some production values

Summary: A Good Movie
Comment: I enjoyed this outing from the FF, despite all the bashing it has received. I think it remains true to the spirit of the comic books, and aside from Galactus being a massive black cloud I had no quibbles with any of the plot or the action. It is a great fil to sit down and watch with the kids on a Sunday afternoon, but I also like to watch the two of them back to back with a few tins of beer to make me forget about life as it is and immerse myself in the Marvel Universe of super-powered beings trying to save us all. It's pure escapism and not high art, for goodness sakes. It's a comic book made into a film, and I'm looking forward to the Silver Surfer movie with anticipation. I guess that even in my fifties, I'm still a kid at heart! Let all you doubters go back to Yancy Street where ya came from, or I'll clobber ya!
