Movie Reviews of Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
Movie Review: This movie totally rocks in 3-D!
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this movie for the first time in 3-D, using the TV Eyes 3-D glasses I got here on Amazon. TV Eyes 3-D Glasses: Watch any movie in 3-D They turn regular movies 3-D, and boy did this looked gorgeous! I have been waiting three months to watch this because I missed it at the theaters by one day. And I was not disappointed. I really wish I could've seen it on a big-screen because in 3-D this was just amazing. The opening sequences out in space were beautiful, the moon looked like you could just reach in and poke it. Anyway, if you get the chance watch this movie with the TV Eyes 3-D glasses, they turn normal movies 3-D And this one really, really works.
After reading a lot of the other reviews here on Amazon I was a little bit worried that I wouldn't like the new Fantastic Four movie. Everyone said (well, a lot of people said,) that the Silver Surfer stole the show. I didn't find that to be true. I think they balanced out things very, very well. The Silver Surfer certainly was beautiful eye-candy and wonderful to watch. It made me wish I had read more of the Silver Surfer comic books as a kid.
But it was the interaction of all the characters that made the movie really fun. And the way everybody kept trading off powers, either deliberately or accidentally, added a whole new fun twist to the movie. Johnny and Ben Grimm's teasing was still there. But we also got to see a bit more of Johnny's vulnerability, and his sort of unwilling jealousy of the others in his team that they were getting something out of life that he hadn't quite figured out yet. The whole Fantastic Four wedding was kind of funny, because here these two superheroes who are trying so hard to have a normal life, and the normal ceremonies of life, and all these amazing, impossible things keep happening to ruin it for them.
There is a lot of simple common sense wisdom in this movie too. Even though amazing and terrible and impossible things may be happening all around you that doesn't mean that the little things in life aren't important. Sometimes all you really need is the touch of a loved one. Anyway, this had a very good storyline, lots of fun, jokes, japes, and don't forget the FantastiCar! This movie was a very satisfying experience. And it's great for both men and women, adults and kids. There is a hint of romance and sentiment for the women, explosions and bangs and flashes and chases for the man and, and lots of beautiful superhero action, space scenes, and just visual beauty - color and landscapes and even the Fantastic Four's headquarters, with all of its chrome and glass and lights in computers and technology - the whole movie was just gorgeous to look at much less watch. Basically, I would definitely recommend getting this movie. You're going to want to watch it again and again. And definitely get a pair of the TV Eyes 3-D glasses to watch it with, it makes a world of difference. Actually, I think I'm going to go watch this again right now.
Summary of Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
FANTASTIC FOUR 2:RISE OF THE SILVER S - DVD MovieFantastic 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
