Critics 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.

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

The film's effects people perform many miracles, from draining the River Thames to ensuring that the Thing produces a convincing smile. But one thing they can't do is to make the unfailingly wholesome Mr Fantastic and friends worth worrying about.

1.5/5

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

3/5

Galactus cloud aside, this did feel like an organic extension of the original movie, with Johnny Storm, Thing, and Silver Surfer all being the standouts.

The Rise Of The Silver Surfer is also the fall of the Fantastic Four.

A scattergun sequel that makes the franchise feel tired, two films in.

The cast did well again, but the plot was pretty bland, and they could have made galactus a good villain. Instead, they made him a cloud. The movie still has good parts, but it is still worse than the first one.

If the first film was already weak, this sequel manages to be an even bigger disaster. Although the Silver Surfer's look is actually decent (compared to the Silver Surfer-ette), the film ruins everything else with a ridiculous plot, childish dialogue, and terrible pacing.

Silver Surfer is cool but the rest of the movie is much weaker than the first and the first was not strongest movie either.
