Product Description
Catch a wave of "terrific adventure" and "non-stop action" (CBS-TV) in this fun and fantastically entertaining smash-hit! "Invisible Woman: Sue Storm and "Mr. Fantastic" Dr. Reed Richards are about to be married when a mysterious alien... the Silver Surfer... crashes the proceedings and heralds Earth's impending destruction. With time running out, the Fantastic Four reluctantly teams up with the nefarious Dr. Doom in a thrilling effort to save our planet!
Amazon.com
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer is another entertaining romp for the Marvel-superhero franchise. Reed Richards, Mr. Fantastic (Ioan Gruffudd), is treading on thin ice when his fiancée, Sue Storm, the Invisible Woman (Jessica Alba), thinks he's more interested in a series of cosmic phenomena occurring around the earth than in the preparations for their upcoming wedding. Sorry, ladies, but Reed is right. The disturbances are caused by a surge of cosmic power from a mysterious being called the Silver Surfer (an all-CGI creation, modeled by Doug Jones and voiced by Laurence Fishburne), who not only zooms around the skies on his board, but also has enough power to fight the FF, sometimes by turning their own power against them, not only mixing up Sue and Reed, but also Johnny Storm, the Human Torch (Chris Evans), and Ben Grimm, the Thing (Michael Chiklis). But that's not the worst of it. The Surfer is only an opening act, a herald looking for planets that his master, Galactus, can consume for his sustenance.
With its initial installment, Fantastic Four established itself as the superhero franchise that didn't take itself too seriously, and that continues here. There are numerous moments of laugh-out-loud humor, and the most angst they suffer is whether Sue and Reed will ever be able to live a normal family life. (That, and whether they'll ever really get married, of course.) If Fantastic Four were a normal superhero franchise, the ending would be a knock-down drag-out war with Galactus, featuring the FF in a colossal battle for the planet Earth and the lives of everyone on it. Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer just doesn't do that, and we don't quite get the payoff we expected. Effects are dazzling, but the Surfer looks too metallic, more like a skyriding T-1000 robot. --David Horiuchi

This translation of "The World's Greatest Comic Magazine" to the big screen got just about everything right with this 2007 sequel to 2005's fun but rocky "Fantastic Four." Casting, effects, art direction, script, and dialogue are all first-rate and tastefully handled, with sexy Jessica Alba a standout and knockout as Sue Storm. I also liked Ioan Gruffudd a lot as Mr. Fantastic, Michael ("The Commish") Chiklis as Ben Grimm, and Chris Evans in its first superhero role as hotshot John (not Johnny) Storm, re-imagined as an even brasher personality. I'm usually unhappy with recasting characters I've gotten used to as Caucasians as minorities for the sake of PC, but I also really enjoyed Kerry Washington's turn as a lovely and charismatic take on The Puppet Master's daughter and Ben's beau, Alicia.
The potentially problematic depictions of Sue's invisibility, Reed's stretching and malleability, and Johnny's flaming on are all strikingly surmounted here. This was shortly before the deluge of MCU superhero movies, each of which progressively featured staggeringly updated and state of the art digital effects, so what the filmmakers have done here early on is really pretty remarkable and worthy of kudos without the need for patronizing or "overlooking" compliments. The prosthetic conceptualization for The Thing is particularly strong, and doesn't look fake or cheesy at all, as one might dread. (I'd take exception to a comment left on amazon in one of these reviews that the character is portrayed as too small, and closer to the size of a normal man, instead of as big as The Hulk. He isn't. See the cover of issue #25 of the initial run of the comic for evidence.) Most spectacular of all is the realization of the Silver Surfer, which is dynamic and thrilling to watch in every scene. It's a masterpiece of CGI special effects art in itself, by any yardstick.
The Fantastic Four comic has always been first and foremost about the adventures of a family. So I was happy that this quality was very much present in the script, and also that much of the character interaction has warmth and is smile-inducing and actually funny. This motif of family has always been what's set the FF off from other superhero characters.
I've seen this in a theater and on DVD, but this movie looks particularly fabulous on Blu-ray, with exciting color and sharp definition, neither of which take the edge off the extremely well-rendered effects. This is a terrific title to add to any superhero Blu-ray collection.
It's too bad we'll never see this cast again in another Fantastic Four movie, but the projected third of a trilogy was deep-sixed in development hell. I doubt that any new ensemble that Disney and Marvel may or may not be thinking about putting together will be as personable.
(PS: Yep, Stan Lee has a cameo. And there's even a brief mid-credits scene!)
And Alba....Come ON!! She hardly looks PUBESCENT, much less old enough to marry a scientist near retirement age! They should have saved her for Frankie Raye, one of Johnny's many girlfriends, and someone who would eventually supplant the Silver Surfer as a herald of Galactus. I say Joan Allen would have been PERFECT for the role, using someone like Bill Pullman as Reed. And Johnny should be BLOND, not brunette with a crew cut!! J. Storm never had a crew cut in his LIFE in the book!! Heck, I've always had my reservations about the Human Torch as a comic book character to begin with!
However, as usual, they NEVER get Ben Grimm wrong! What's to get wrong, anyway?? All you've got to do is get a burly, middle aged actor who can talk like a New York cab driver and you're home free!
Now, as to the Silver Surfer, though pretentious as ****, he's always been one of my favorite superhero comic supporting players. I like the fact that one of my favorite black actors, Laurence Fishburne, is doing the voice of ol' Norrin! The character, alas, suffers from the USUAL Marvel superhero film "obvious CGI effect" problem. What IS it with cheezy Marvel?? Can't they do ANYTHING first class?! This outfit has [always] been tacky as the blazes in their endeavors, since day one. I guess even hitting the big time with the X-Men movies and the first Hulk film can't alleviate their affection for that "sleaze aspect". (And when are they going to stop making those "Punisher" movies??)
I to get this film due to my love for the Surfer, but I can tell you right now, if I had anything to do with its production, either casting, directing or writing, things would be done differently! Ta-ta, Alba and Gruiffudd, bleach Johnny's hair, make Galactus solid instead of gaseous, and rework the origin where they actually had Doom aboard their near-space probe, acquiring powers, something that never happened in the source material! I HATE it when my favorite superheroes have their origin stories altered significantly in movies or TV...it happened in BOTH first "Batman" movies, (Joe Chill killed Bruce's parents, NOT Jack Napier/The Joker, and Ra's Al Ghul came LONG after Bruce Wayne became Batman! He did NOT train him!) The Flash TV show, (Barry Allen was blond, again, not dark-haired like John Wesley Shipp; did NOT live with his parents and had no brother. Iris West was in practically every issue of his magazine, but was only in the pilot episode of the show, (as a punk rocker, yet!) replaced by Tina McGee, a new character...there was no Julio in the book..AND HE NEVER VIBRATED THROUGH WALLS on the show!! [My favorite trick of his!]) The X-Men were originally: Cyclops, The Beast, The Angel, Marvel Girl/Jean Grey, Professor X and Iceman, THEN there was the reboot with Cyclops, Jean Grey/Phoenix, Storm, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Shadowcat and Wolverine. Rogue was a Johnny-come-lately, taken in from an organization that actually was formed to FIGHT the X-Men! She was also much more mature than Anna Pacquin in age and bearing. Their legend from about 1985 on has been too confusing to go into here, but the above is the basic truth. The second animated show and the movies screwed that ALL up, with Iceman being one of the junior students at Xavier's school, Angel a complete stranger, Nightcrawler a latecomer and Kitty and Piotr (Shadowcat and Colossus) VERY peripheral players! (Kitty was a major player in a LOT of the Xmen "second generation" stories.) I could go on....Superman and the Kryptonian criminals lifting things with their eyes in the original Salkind "Superman" movies, Mary Jane living right next door to Peter Parker in "Spiderman", Sandman being a sympathetic character with a dying daughter in Spidey 3, Peter acquiring the black, alien suit while still being on Earth, etc., etc....Suffice it to say that "Daredevil: The Director's Cut" is about the ONLY decent, faithful transfer of a superhero to the screen I've ever seen!
Somebody get Paul Levitz and Jim Shooter to supervise this stuff, huh?
