Plus, Fantastic Four 2 gave us the sleek-looking Silver Surfer, a scientist turned surfboard-riding space messenger for the planet-eating Galactus. Even when the film is trying its hardest to be serious, like when the team has a big fight after Johnny realizes Sue and Reed might leave, its over-the-top style is part of why it’s so ridiculously entertaining. It’s that kind of juvenile humor that’s scattered throughout the film that makes it hard not to laugh. At one point, Johnny Storm asks Ben Grimm how he and Alicia Masters manage to have sex. Fantastic (Ioan Gruffudd), the Invisible Woman (Jessica Alba), Human Torch (Chris Evans pre-Captain America), and The Thing (Michael Chiklis) cope with the possibility of breaking up the team, they’re faced with an intergalactic threat after meeting the mysterious Silver Surfer.ĭespite all of its shortcomings and certain nonsensical plotlines, Rise of the Silver Surfer is a resounding example of how humor, a bickering team, and an enigmatic antagonist can make for a highly enjoyable superhero movie. Still, I can confidently say that it’s still very watchable.įor one thing, Rise of the Silver Surfer’s plot is actually coherent, if flimsy.

Jordan and Miles Teller and the 1994 adaptation that never saw the light of day, Fantastic Four and its sequel Rise of the Silver Surfer aren’t looking too bad in hindsight. Counting the disastrous 2015 film starring Michael B. Adapting Marvel’s Fantastic Four to the big screen has been an uphill battle.
