As far as superhero sequels go, Fantastic 4: Rise of The Silver Surfer gets a pass mark. And perhaps a shade more.I'm not known for saying this in such movies but I think they spent too much time trying to build the story and the plot and not enough time on the action and conflict between the 4 and Von Doom and the Silver Surfer.
All the effects were great, particularly the scene towards the end with Galactus devouring the planet, and the last half an hour was pretty spectacular.
They got a bit bogged down early on. There was promise with the bachelor party scene, the power swapping scenes and the early bits where the surfer reveals what he is on Earth for.
I thought Chris Evans (Human Torch) was particularly good as the fun-loving no responsibility Johnny Storm and Julian McMahon (Victor Von Doom) has turned into a creepy guy. Far cry from the Dannii Minogue `This Is It' video clip.
I don't think this review needs to go any longer. The fact they signed a three movie deal and the very open ending confirms another sequel. Lets just hope there's a better script. A 6 out of 10.
