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
