Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
The first film of the franchise was disastrously bad, while this one is just very bad. Director Tim Story returns with a terrible crop of writers and special-effects people, and continues to insult Fantastic Four fans with a bad story, lame visuals and hellacious editing. It’s apparently not evil enough to defile the Fantastic Four, so now they’ve dragged another beloved comic character into the fray. The Silver Surfer, a planet-killing silver guy on a surfboard, makes his movie debut, voiced by Laurence Fishburne. He destroys worlds for a huge bastard force called Galactus in order to protect his homeland. Whatever. Jessica Alba delivers the best performance in the movie, and that’s reason enough to worry.
