Review: Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer

While the first Fantastic Four movie was a bland excuse to show Jessica Alba’s smoking’ hot body, I still went on to go see Rise of the Silver Surfer. While I do not have any comic background with the Fantastic Four or even the Silver Surfer, I watched the film expecting nothing. Well, how right was I. The movie was poorly scripted, even with Ben and Johnny’s constant torture with each other wasn’t even funny anymore. Their acting seemed like they literally just reading directly from the script. Dr. Doom, who technically is the main villain, appears only on half of the film and practically does nothing besides ‘monolouging’. And the Silver Surfer? That’s what you get, a silver being on a surfer. Some part of me was dismayed as I should have just used my money on buying Mocha Frap at Starbucks instead. Well okay, not all is bad. Action scenes and special effects were a lot better this time. This would have been a great film, but due to poor scripting, horrible acting and bad directing, sadly this movie falls far behind along with other crappy comic book adaptations like Elektra or even Ghost Rider.
