Silver Surfer The second Fantastic Four movie was worse than the first one. (At MetaCritic.com, the pros actually give the sequel slightly higher marks. The original film got a composite score of 40, with the sequel earning a 47.)



Before anyone starts telling me to lighten up, because it's a comic book movie, please allow me to say this: Spider-Man, Superman and Batman. These movies are proof that a 'comic book movie' can rise above a genre film and provide solid entertainment to fans and non-fans alike.

Silver Surfer will probably not bore you, as it does provide visually stimulating escapist entertainment. However, it's so lame-brained that it may very well annoy you. Further, why does Jessica Alba look so freaky in this movie? An explanation is not given.

Here is a trivia piece for you: Laurence Fishburne provides the voice of the Silver Surfer in the film.
