An absolute cinematic disaster.

The Fantastic Four return to the big screen as a new and all powerful enemy threatens the Earth. The seemingly unstoppable 'Silver Surfer', but all is not what it seems and there are old and new enemies that pose a greater threat than the intrepid superheroes realize.

Even the popcorn looked bored during Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.

If Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer was a meal, it'd be unsalted rice with extra ego.

The science in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer has the same relationship to physics that I have to going to the gym: aspirational.

Hot Take: Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece

Rewatched Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

Unpopular opinion: Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer is the most overrated film of the decade

Director clearly thought Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer actually is?

Honestly, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.
