Review: Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer
Ahh, a summer movie, action, mindless, CGI, and hot girls. This incarnation of Fantastic Four is better than the first one, but that is not hard to do. Not quite a good movie level, but getting there.
The good stuff: the CGI is wonderful, especially when it comes to the Sliver Surfer. The CGI on the board looks awesome, and they pull off the whole effect really well. The overall action and pace of the movie is right on, with the length perfect for a summer flick.
Beyond this, the acting is decent; there are some scenes that are awkward and don’t flow well. Individually, the various actors have done some good work, but together, this is not one of their better works.
Overall, if you want a nice summer action flick to pass the time, this is the movie for you. Personally, I would wait for some of the better movies coming out soon, but if you need to go to the movies, go ahead and watch it.
