It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

I don't even need to talk about anything that happens in the first half, because it's all dumb, boring, and visually looks really bad. The second half is where I wanted to lose hope in humanity.Around the start of the last half of the movie, they begin to tease Galactus. If you've never read a comic with him in it or never even played Marvel Vs Capcom 3, you probably don't know who that is. In essence, he's a giant man in a blue and purple suit under a big goofy purple helmet. He was once known as Galan in a universe before the prime one in the comics. He somehow survived the death of said Universe and was merged with an entity known as the Sentience of the Multiverse to become Galactus, the Devourer of Worlds, the Monster of All Worlds, The Hunger That Does Not Cease, etc. He's quite possibly my favorite villain in the entire Marvel franchise. You can't even kill him by conventional means. He can only be defeated by using The Ultimate Nullifier, and even then he manages to live on anyways. You can negotiate with him to become his Herald in exchange for your planet's safety, but you literally don't have an afterlife if you do so. And what Galactus hungers for, he takes without question. If your planet is the one he's after, your basically screwed. He's the final boss in Marvel Vs Capcom 3's arcade mode (and UMVC3), and while they did screw up his AI to the point where he's too easy, he still has some of the best lines and one of the best music tracks in the entire game. "You dare pit your mystic arts against the Power Cosmic? ARROGANT FOOL!" -Galactus. I'm just gonna copy and paste a link for the music at the bottom of this review so you can understand what we're dealing with here. Just listening to it without any knowledge of his actual design gives off a menacing vibe. Better still, you can actually play as him in all his glory in Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3! And it might be one of the most fun experiences you'll have in a while. Giant lasers, screen wide punch attacks, one-hit-kills, it's so much fun! God I love that game. Please purchase it! You will not be let down, unlike with this movie.So you can imagine my disappointment and rage when, in this garbage film, he's just a cloud of smoke.That's literally it. He's just a cloud of smoke. They tease his helmet in a scene where he goes over Saturn, and his helmet looks pretty okay. Then he actually arrives at Earth. There's no indication that he even has a helmet. There's no indication that he's even a he. He's just a cloud of "cosmic" vapor. And it kind of looks like a hand when it looms closer to the Earth. I don't- I DON'T KNOW! This is possibly the worst redesign a movie has ever given a villain. At least in Doctor Strange, Dormammu may look really bad compared to his actual comic book design, but they made up for that by having one of the coolest sequences in any movie, maybe ever!Botched design aside, whatever. Galactus is on Earth, and unless Reed Richards over here wants to give up his afterlife then Earth is about to be torn apart. Get ready for really cool destruction!...Oh wait, that didn't happen either.Literally all that happens in the climax where the cloud of smoke draws near is just that; the cloud of smoke draws near, the sky darkens... and that's it. No destruction, nothing cool, just a waste of time. And as Doctor Doom is fighting a powered-up version of The Human Torch, Silver Surfer flies up to stop him. Hah! What an idiot! He's already given up so much, and now he's trying to kill the unkillable!Oh. It actually worked. He literally threw his Silver Surfer brand Surfboard into the "Heart of Galactus" and blew up. Then Galactus went bye-bye. Wow. Just... wow.Please don't watch this movie. I don't even have anything else to say. I just... I just really want there to be an actually good version of Galactus in some movie soon. Read up on his history, I'll provide the link. Please do your research on the greatest Marvel villain of all time, and stay far away from this film.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glT8P09WC3Ihttp://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Galactus_(Earth-616)

Like with the previous this film was very awesome it had good acting, special effects and I also like the dialogues. However, the only disappointment with this film was we never got to see Galactus (What he would look like in The Movie.)My favorite part in the movie was where Johnny calls The Thing a rock-slide and Ben says "I'LL SHOW YOU ROCKSLIDE!" and starts to chase him.Overall awesome and as I have said in my review for the previous movie if you are a fan of The Fantastic Four you have come to the right place.

Garbage.But seriously, why even bother. I'm not so much angry with Hollywood as I am disappointed with the American movie-going public. Hollywood thinks we're gullible jackasses and they're right.Rise of the Silver Surfer is high in the running as absolute epitome of Hollywood complacency and mediocrity, in close competition with Eragon, Snakes on a Plane, and Meet the Spartans. There's something mystically worse about a film that's so profoundly mediocre as ROTSS as opposed to "so-brain-gratingly-bad-it's-good," as was the case with your Space Mutinies or your Manoses or your Three Men And A Babieses.How anyone can consider this crap entertaining enough to warrant even so much as a rental, hell, to even warrant 100 minutes of their life, is beyond my comprehension. After Kill Bill? After Die Hard? After X-Men? After Sin City? After 300? Are you serious? How much more obvious could it get that the director--hell, everybody involved, even Stan Lee himself--doesn't even care? Aren't you insulted? Do YOU care? I'm to the point that I no longer hate Hollywood for producing garbage of this ilk. I now am much more disappointed with you, the viewing public.Let me tell you something, straight up. If you don't care about finding that special something that, if not transcendent of mere entertainment is at LEAST crafted by people who give a damn, you don't love movies. You're a poser. Period. This unending deluge of Hollywood tripe is your fault, not theirs. Get out of my playground and stay out.So cast your no votes and pat yourself on the back. You'll have forgotten all about this little piece of disposable kitsch before you know it, but somewhere inside yourself, subconsciously, will remain the harsh truth. Get real or get lost.I exclude 0-15 year olds from this tongue lashing. Around 16 or so, you should have enough figured out to know better.

This film tells the story of the four superheroes who fight against a mysterious but powerful enemy on a silver surfboard.Superhero films, especially Marvel films, have come a long way in the past yen years. When the first "Fantastic Four" was released ten years ago, it was just another blockbuster film. This sequel was also unable to create much shockwaves. In just a few years, Marvel films have become sensations. The films have become very entertaining, and yet every film seems to surpass the previous one. A Marvel film opening is certainly an event in itself.With this background, I'm sure if I watched "4: Rise of the Silver Surfer" when it was first released, I would have enjoyed it a lot better. The film mixes action with quite a lot of comedic scenes. It also has a lot of eye candies, which should be a recipe for success. This film has fallen victim of Marvel's success.However, I guess viewers are all very spoilt. I find the comedic scenes too ridiculous. The silver surfer look so fake that it looks like a B movie computer graphic. The plot doesn't provide enough thrills either, because a collapsing London Eye just doesn't make the cut anymore.
