a5c7b9f00b After defeating Von Doom, the Fantastic Four can really enjoy life more. All four are now comfortable with their new powers. The Thing and Johnny Storm now get along with each other, and Sue Storm is now planning to be Mrs. Fantastic. Galactus, an evil creature in space, has decided that Earth is its new target, and sends the Silver Surfer to destroy it. Reed Richards and his team must now work together to capture this surfer, and even must now team up with one individual who they didn&#39;t expect to help. Everything seems to be going great for the Fantastic Four. Reed and Sue are finally getting married, and things couldn&#39;t seem better. However, when the mysterious Silver Surfer crashes things, they learn that they will have to deal with an old foe, and the powerful planet eating Galactus. If you&#39;re a fan of the original Fantastic Four, you already know more than I do about the source material. I haven&#39;t been weaned on them… I won&#39;t conceal that that I&#39;ve always been drawn to the darker Marvel material suchthe Punisher. In fact, &quot;dark and morbid&quot; are probably reserved for the Punisher, if we examine the origins of every major title to hit the news stands in the past 50 years.<br/><br/>But onto the film… where Spiderman revels in its altruistic to a fault pauper protagonist who can&#39;t reap his reward for fear of violating some nonexistent superhero code, Fantastic Four is about four heroes who are in the public spotlight. It&#39;s the opposite, and whereas I criticized Spiderman for playing the hardship card way too often, Fantastic Four is manufactured cool which is exactly like Ocean&#39;s Eleven/Twelve/Thirteen, it&#39;s so boring.<br/><br/>The plot about Silver Surfer coming to earth and whupping our foursome with his intergalactic powers… and then there are a few divergent story lines with say, Doom coming back, and Reed marrying Sue. The dialogue is truly groan-worthy… Reed is not a charismatic geek in the film, he just makes you want to bury your head in your lap. Sue hopelessly adores him and bitches when she finds out he is working on something to help out the US military, and the military&#39;s top brass engage in some of the stupidest banter I haven&#39;t seen committed to script. (At one point, a general tries to allude to Reed&#39;s non-participation in sports in high school… and acts 10 paygrades below his rank while doing so.) I didn&#39;t appreciate the obligatory disaster-happens-and-four-work-together-to-save-ppl scenes in the first movie and I don&#39;t appreciate them here… they&#39;re little more than filler, and they&#39;re not very creative in my opinion. X-Men did this with much more flair and suspense, in Fantastic Four it&#39;s another yawn-inducing crescendo that barely raises the pulse on this unplausible, unlikeable, mediocre movie. I give it 3. Because at the very least, Jessica Alba is very hot. From the very onset of its being announced, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer stood outone of the least expected sequels of the year. After the lackluster box office and critical reviews of the first adaptation of the classic Marvel comics team, it seemed unlikely that any further mileage would be attempted to be extracted from the source material. However, Twentieth Century Fox saw differently, and a sequel was triumphantly declared, begging the questionto whether the franchise would follow the recently conventional superhero route of going darker and more complex. In the end, such concerns couldn&#39;t be farther away from the intent of the project,Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer proves justdeliriously determinedits predecessor to entertain, even at the sake of complexity, its exploration of the coming of the Silver Surfer, one of the most fascinating in the comic&#39;s history being processedsuperhero escapism at its most simplified and unashamedly enjoyable.<br/><br/>The story begins immersed in expositional drama, with the pending media circus of a wedding between Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Woman leaving the couple debating abandoning superheroism in favour of a normal married life. However, despite the intriguing subtextual examination of the cultural role of the superhero in a media obsessed society, the madcap pre-wedding antics may be cute but are often oversimplified or overstated, the occasional profound kernel lost amidst borderline excessive silliness (Mr. Fantastic &quot;loosening up&quot; at his bachelor party is fun, but a bit much). As such, it is almost a relief when the future of the world is threatened, and the real fun begins. The expanded scale of the conflict (saving Earth from destruction by intergalactic force Galactus and his herald the Silver Surfer) allows the special effects team to up the ante on flexing their big budget muscles, between exhilarating cosmically powered showdowns to more subtle touches (Mr. Fantastic&#39;s stretching ability looks far less artificial this time). John Ottman&#39;s triumphant musical score completes the heroic package, exemplifying the &#39;generic but undeniably fun&#39; tone of the film. <br/><br/>Returning director Tim Story&#39;s continual desire to keep the mood light and fun may hamper the story&#39;s potential for actual gravitas regarding the pending end of the world, but the breezy exhilaration of the film is sufficient to prevent the viewer from devoting enough attention to the ludicrous situation, content to earnestly wow and cheer rather than fret matters suchrealism, coherence or the vain attempts to make Jessica Alba appear blonde and blue-eyed. Story&#39;s penchant for nodding to fans of the comics also makes the film substantially more entertaining, with inclusions suchthe Fantasticar proving rousing and exhilarating, and even his revamping of the ominous Galactus proving surprisingly satisfying. In an era of superhero films attempting to continually one-up each other on the &#39;dark and brooding&#39; front, it is surprisingly refreshing to see a comic book adaptation with no more grandiose goals than to entertain, sporting such an unpretentious sense of fun that one can&#39;t help but go along for the ride in despite the numerous stumbles.<br/><br/>Once again, Ioan Gruffudd impressesemotionally distant yet quirkily noble heroic scientist Mr. Fantastic, perfectly essaying the occasional comedic or dramatic moment which emerge from his aptly maintained front of stern focus. Unfortunately, Jessica Alba disappointingly delivers a far less inspired performance than even her usual standardthe harried Invisible Woman. Alba&#39;s flat, painfully unemotional performance is uncomfortably punctuated by her grotesque excesses in makeup, giving her the appearance of a bizarre doll rather than human being. Conversely, Chris Evans and Michael Chiklisthe impish Human Torch and gruffly wisecracking rock-encrusted Thing prove the casting highlights, their comedic banter and irreverently charismatic performances providing the film with much needed emotional heart and comic relief. <br/><br/>However, returning antagonist Julian McMahonMachiavellian Doctor Doom feels like a hasty last minute addition, his sparsity of screen time giving McMahon little chance to exude sufficient villainous menace or even appear to have much pointa character. In contrast, Kerry Washington is delightfully charmingthe Thing&#39;s blind girlfriend Alicia, and Andre Braugher delivers a reliably disapproving performancea gruff military general. Finally, the masterful motion capture movement of Doug Jones and melodious, otherworldly voice of Lawrence Fishburne combine perfectly to capture the mystery and pathos of the dynamic Silver Surfer, instilling real heart into a potentially overly artificial character. <br/><br/>To call Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer mindless entertainment would hardly be a substantial overstatement,the film&#39;s primary concern of delivering light-hearted fun often comes at the expense of character development and credible emotional engagement with the story. However, mindless entertainment need not be seenstrictly a negative, and those willing to take the film for what it is, a piece of not overly challenging, fun and occasionally exhilarating superpowered escapism, may well find the film a rousing success - just don&#39;t expect to remember much of it days down the road. <br/><br/>-6/10 The script, credited to "Twin Peaks" co-creator Mark Frost and longtime "Simpsons" writer Don Payne, unsuccessfully strives for hipster irreverence. made highly resistant to injury and he is thus almost invulnerable to most types of physical harm.
