Consensus:
While an improvement on its predecessor, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer is nevertheless a juvenile, simplistic picture that has little benefit beyond its special effects.

When Jessica Alba was at the MTV Movie Awards she called Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer the best family/comedy of the summer. That alone should spell disaster for a superhero film.

It doesn't suck. Or maybe I went into the theater with such low expectations that it couldn't possibly be as bad as my imagination had concocted.

Parents longing for entertaining and intelligent family superhero fare would be much better served renting 2005's Zathura or Sky High.

While the Silver Surfer cushions the blow, this is a sequel I can ultimately throw away...

This sequel is out, overall succumbing to the weaknesses of the first movie, which, once again, relegates it to sitting at the kids' table at the gathering of comic book movies.

An off-brand superhero movie, the cinematic equivalent of one of those generic breakfast cereals with a badly drawn squirrel for a mascot.

For a film that's supposed to be playful, it's an awful, tedious drudge.
09/12/07
A big-budget bust, and while it isn't as awful as its lame 2005 predecessor, it does come close to achieving the former film's sense of decay.

I have read many of the legitimate criticisms of this sequel, and I agree with them, and I do not care.
07/23/07
While not entirely fantastic, this Four is fun, fast-paced, and family friendly.
07/12/07
A merciful dearth of plot in favor of mindless set pieces, so-so effects work and passable PG-rated humor.
07/11/07
Of all the summer’s big-budget action sequels, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer is the least painful.
07/11/07
With the wedding ruined and the future of the world at stake, it’s showtime. Suddenly, Tim Story goes CGI crazy delivering scene after scene of edge-of-your-seat action that will make your eyeballs bleed.

Rise of the Silver Surfer is both relentlessly dull and curiously bombastic.
