Quickie: Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)–**1/2
Quickie Review
The fantastic family faces relationship issues, near mutinies and a planet eating being that is heralded by a silver-colored man on a surf board. This superhero sequel is easily the most fun a moviegoer will have in the summer of 2007 thus far, hitting all the right notes without overexerting itself. For every cliché, there’s a moment of humor to act as a counterweight. And it’s actually better than the original. Starring Jessica Alba, Michael Chiklis, Chris Evans and Ioan Gruffudd with Doug Jones and Laurence Fishburne as the Silver Surfer.
