The Fantastic Four movies seem so scared of their own mythology. Everyone except the fanboys that is, and while I sometimes count myself among them, there are some things I am capable of overlooking, organic web shooters or flames on Optimus for example.
Surfer arrives, Surfer goes about his business, Surfer fights our heroes, gets taken out, learns the error of being a scout for a big, cosmic thing that munches on planets and everyone goes home happy. The film is pretty straightforward without nearly a hint of some kind of underline complexity. Doom (Julian McMahon), who offers his help for motives which are surely beneficial to him alone. So re-enter everyone’s favourite Latverian despot Dr. Reed succeeds at tracking the Surfer, but the team fails to capture him.

The US military employs Reed to devise a way to track the entity, an alien in silver skin and riding something that appears to be a surfboard.
Appearing on cue, however, is a cosmic entity that’s travelling all over the world, digging massive holes in far-flung places like the Sea of Japan and Giza Egypt. In Rise of the Silver Surfer, we catch up with the quartet of Reed Richards (Ioan Griffudd), Susan Storm (Jessica Alba), Ben Grimm (Michael Chiklis) and Johnny Storm (Chris Evans) as they prepare for the fourth try at a wedding for Reed and Sue. But that’s not saying much given the fact that the first Fantastic Four was… well, is craptastic a word? (Spell check says it isn’t.) Basically, it was underwhelming to the point of “Wow I never thought that I could care less about a rock man, a stretchy dude, an invisible woman and a guy that can light himself on fire, but here’s the proof.”

If there’s a saving grace to this sequel to the movie based on Marvel Comics’ first family of superheroes is that it surpasses the original.
