Reed (Ioan Gruffudd), Susan (Jessica Alba), Johnny (Chris Evans) and Ben (Michael Chiklis) face an intergalactic messenger who has arrived to prepare Earth for its destruction. While the enigmatic being wreaks havoc around the world, the heroic quartet must also contend with the unexpected return of their enemy, Victor Von Doom.

Critics Consensus

While an improvement on its predecessor, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer is nevertheless a juvenile, simplistic picture that has little benefit beyond its special effects.

An off-brand superhero movie, the cinematic equivalent of one of those generic breakfast cereals with a badly drawn squirrel for a mascot.

The film's effects people perform many miracles, from draining the River Thames to ensuring that the Thing produces a convincing smile. But one thing they can't do is to make the unfailingly wholesome Mr Fantastic and friends worth worrying about.

Rise of the Silver Surfer is both relentlessly dull and curiously bombastic.

Galactus cloud aside, this did feel like an organic extension of the original movie, with Johnny Storm, Thing, and Silver Surfer all being the standouts.

The Rise Of The Silver Surfer is also the fall of the Fantastic Four.

A scattergun sequel that makes the franchise feel tired, two films in.

This script of this movie feels like something that belongs in a silent movie. Totally outdated creative writing that made the whole movie so unbearable to watch that turning on the news felt like actual entertainment.

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer is a movie that is not perfect but deserves more love than it gets. The biggest mistake this movie makes is Galactus. To this day I'm unsure if they was a design choice, studio mandate, or budget constraints, but I am so annoyed with "Fart Cloud" Galactus. Even if it wasn't up to the movie makers, it's not a valid excuse for how bad this version of Galactus is. But other than that I really like this movie. I don't love the Johnny power switch subplot, but that's a minor complaint. The actors do a good job and the CGI has held up pretty well for the most part. Overall, I wish we had a new cut of this movie with comic accurate Galactus, but even without, this movie is still pretty good and worth watching.

Repito que no entiendo por qué a la gente no le gustan tanto estas películas. Esta segunda entrega fue incluso mejor que la primera, sin discusión. Ver a Silver Surfer es muy llamativo y más porque siempre se nota que él no es el villano. El elenco no deja de ser interesante y lo siento, pero estos papeles le quedan muy bien a Chris Evans. No es por fangirlear, pero amo más su versión de Antorcha Humana que la del Capitán América. Sí, creo que es lamentable no presentar a Franklin Richards, pero entiendo que estas películas son muy humanas para el nivel de poder que tiene ese niño. Son buenas películas, me hubiese encantado ver más.
