The boring lifeless 2005 movie about The Fantastic Four was so bad that the 2007 edition, “The Rise of the Silver Surfer, just had to improve somewhat, but not much according to movie critics.
Tribune movie critic, Michael Phillips said, “It is passable comic book stuff, dumb and loud. Loud. Loud.
The Silver Surfer races around the globe wreaking havoc. The Fantastic Four must figure out the mystery of the Silver Surfer and confront the unexplained return of their enemy, Dr. Doom.
The first movie made over $330 million worldwide and this one should lure in large audiences as well even as it gets panned by critics.
Must be the Jessica Alba effect.
Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch and rock-solid The Thing will no doubt pack in the young and the adults who haven’t grown up yet.
