Fantastic Four: The Rise of the Silver Surfer: Movie Review, DVD Review, Blu-ray Disc Review

"Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer: DVD, Blu-ray"

Nothing here thrills or captivates the way the best superhero movies do. The film is trite and self-indulgent, with the bum script generating no mystery, nuance or compelling sense of dread.

The lack of the latter is especially curious since the plot involves the end of the world, with Earth rapidly being destroyed by the Silver Surfer, a gleaming extraterrestrial with a tight bod and the voice of Laurence Fishburne who surfs the globe looking like Mercury stripped down for an Abercrombie & Fitch ad.

Naturally, it's up to the Fantastic Four (Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Michael Chiklis, Chris Evans) to shut him down, which proves difficult to do for a whole host of reasons, none of which are worth exploring here.

With Julian McMahon also reprising his role as Dr. Victor Von Doom, this sequel itself is doomed. It never once feels as if a trace of pleasure went into its production.

Rated PG. Grade: D+
