Yes, if you liked 1 you'll like 2 and if you didn't, you won't (and you won't like it if you expect to see the source material faithfully reproduced without tweakage). And I didn't see any Galactus helmet silhouette anywhere... Full review

What is wrong here? You'd think the director and writer second time around would get better right? Yea, you'd think but no such luck. Tim Story directed this thing like a newbie while both writers could'not seem to shake corny... Full review

I think it's safe to say that when it comes to special effects we have no more expectations, they all nail it these days. This movie was no exception, good graphics and pretty colors as another guy here said. Unfortunately,... Full review

I must say I was pleasantly surprised that the sequel out shined the first one. First one was...all right but it was slow paced and every character needed to get developed. Some say it was down right horrible but I... Full review

I've written almost two years ago that I adored the movie adaptation of Fantastic Four, despite many out there who hated it to the core. Back then, what I found was right about it was its spot on characterization and... Full review

In all its silliness and tongue-in-cheek disposition, the first "Fantastic Four" movie wasn't really a landmark as far as comic book films go. But it wasn't so bad either; it's just that after Marvel Comics' recent domination of the film... Full review

As difficult as it was, I decided to view 'Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer' as a film, not as a chance for redeeming a franchise. I thought this method might take away any fan boy predilections I had,... Full review

I'll state first that this movie is good....I won't repeat it here but rest assured Jessica Alba is an abomination to this film....stands as a nice adventure film that does a decent job at respecting the source material it came from.....Chris Evans and Michael Chiklis turn in very excellent performances, making the colorful comic characters translate to screen very well.....Ioan turns in the best performance he can considering his character he portrays is not very charismatic..... ...

Rise of the Silver Surfer isn't exactly the worst movie I've ever seen, but there's not much about it that screams out for any sort of recommendation.
Rise of the Silver Surfer is light, harmless entertainment by design, skewing really heavily towards the younger set.

Like the first movie, Rise of the Silver Surfer provides reasonable entertainment, but it lacks the depth, heart and power that I think it could've delivered.
We don't, and the film suffers.
This was a terrific visual presentation.
