Rating: PG
Movie Release Date: June 12, 2007 (UK) / June 15, 2007 (USA)
DVD Release Date: October 2, 2007
Plot 411: A non-human being scouts Earth for Galactus, a planet-consuming entity hungry to swallow up life.
Review: The Fantastic Four have become celebrities and while some are basking in all that this means (Johnny, played by Chris Evans), others find it hinders their lives (Susan, played by Jessica Alba). When a super-human being enters Earth’s atmosphere, the government is eager to discover what it is. Reed (Ioan Gruffudd) is called upon by the government, but he refuses because he and Susan’s wedding plans have already been postponed numerous times. However, secretly, Reed does invent a machine and the foursome must capture and confront the Silver Surfer. Michael Chiklis and Kerry Washington return to their roles as Ben and Alicia. Um, yeah. I didn’t really like this movie at all. I felt like there was so much more going on with the Silver Surfer character that was not shown on film. Because I’m not familiar with the comic, I can only guess at what other subplots surround him. But this movie felt quite shallow in terms of the Surfer’s character and his link to Galactus. As for the Fantastic Four team, again I felt they lacked character. They all seemed a bit one note.
Watch It: If you're looking for some comedy and fun action sequences.
Skip It: If you're a fanboy because the lack of character development will probably rub you the wrong way.
