Fantastic Four - Rise Of The Silver Surfer (Limited Deluxe Edit) Review

Of all the sequels we've been fed this summer, I have to admit that "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" best meets its expectations. While other major sequels ("Spidey 3" and "Pirates 3") take a decidedly darker tone, "Surfer" kicks up the fun a notch. This should be expected since the previous film and the comic that it is based on is a lot more lighthearted and family-oriented than other films and books of this genre. In "Surfer," director Tim Story isn't tied down to an origin story. He is given free reign of the action in the film and does not let anybody down. All of the original core actors (Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans and Michael Chiklis) have returned (including good ol' Doom, Julian McMahon). The newest addition to this film is the Silver Surfer, the galactic herald of Galactus, a cloud-like being that consumes planets to stay alive. I won't go into comic geek mode, but just know that Galactus is not a cloud in the comics. I do think that the handling of the character in the film, however, is perfect.

When the Surfer arrives on Earth, an Army general (played wonderfully by the underappreciated Andre Braugher) demands that Reed Richards create a sensor to track him and find out what he's doing on Earth. The only problem is that Richards is helping Sue Storm plan their oft-cancelled wedding, Ben Grimm is heating up his relationship with Alicia and Johnny Storm is trying to get sponsorships and girls. It all leads up to the return of Victor Von Doom who gladly offers to assist the military in figuring out what the Surfer is all about.

From there, we are given a healthy dose of light comedy and action in the form of a bickering/normal family trying to battle an old foe and figure out if the new guy is a friend or foe. The special effects, especially those involving the Surfer and Johnny, are wonderful. The only effects miscue that I noticed was with Mr. Fantastic which, honestly, is passable due to the fast-paced and well plotted storyline. Scientific terms fly all over this movie in a fun fashion. Mr. Fantastic steps it up a notch and shows that his confidence is growing. Ben and Johnny are still at each other's throats and Sue is just trying to prevent them from killing each other. It's a fun family-oriented film for the most part.

**Spoiler**
However, there is one part in the film where Dr. Doom has his way with a few military men. One of them is turned into ash. This part of the film made me think that perhaps the MPAA should have edged this flick up to a PG-13 rating. Other than that particular part of the film, everything else is fairly PG-oriented. There's one brief implied nudity scene with Alba. There's also a little bit of strong language but the characters who attract the most attention from kids, Thing and Torch, have very few curse words to throw around. I'm just throwing this bit of info in for parents still pondering on whether or not to take their child to this film. If they're under eight, you might want to preview this film before taking the kiddoes.
**End Spoilers**

Overall, "Rise of the Silver Surfer" is the best sequel of the summer. Is it better than the original film? Only slightly. Is it better than the first two "Spider-man" flicks? Probably not, but this is sort of like comparing apples to oranges. Just rest assured that by viewing "Surfer," you'll be getting an action-packed, fairly family-friendly comic book flick. The interaction between the fantastic foursome alone is worth the price of a movie ticket or, in a few months, a DVD. Highly recommended, especially to families with children who love comics and action film fans.
