http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/06/18/Fantastic-Four-Rise-of-the-Silver-Surfer--Better-Than.aspx Let&rsquo;s not mince words: I thought the 2005 FANTASTIC FOUR movie sucked. Although my initial opinion has softened over time, I have never suffered the urge to repeat the viewing experience, even though it has some good acting by Michael Chiklis and Jessica Alba in her underwear. Thus, it was with a mixture of trepidation and cautious enthusiasm that I trekked to the multiplex to check out FANTASTIC FOUR: RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER. Surprise; it didn&rsquo;t suck. &nbsp;&nbsp; Having dispensed with the backstory in the first film, the latest adventures of Marvel&rsquo;s first family of superheroes opens with the impending nuptials of Reed Richards (Ioan Gruffudd) and Sue Storm (Jessica Alba). However, marriage among the metahuman set ain&rsquo;t easy; not with paparazzi under every rock and shrub, Sue&rsquo;s little brother, Johnny (Chris Evans), hogging all the attention he can, and a number of weather anomalies happening worldwide. Then the military &mdash; personified in officious glory by Gen. Hager (Andre Braugher) &mdash; comes knocking, and before you can say &ldquo;Excelsior,&rdquo; Richards, both Storms and Ben Grimm (Michael Chiklis) are chasing a shiny dude on a flying surfboard (Doug Jones; voiced by Laurence Fishburne). Planets die, Dr. Doom (Julian McMahon) shows up with his best armor on, and things progress from there. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/06/18/Fantastic-Four-Rise-of-the-Silver-Surfer--Better-Than.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/06/18/Fantastic-Four-Rise-of-the-Silver-Surfer--Better-Than.aspx#731 Great review... but was Jessica Alba in her underwear again?
