What makes it different from others?

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Despite being at least 30 minutes too short and just not as good as the first one I still really like this movie.It has great eye candy, awesome FX, good action, a great cast AND the burns are rock solid laugh generators. I think this is a must see for fans of the genre. I enjoy watching it every year.

First off, I don't like most comic book movies as they don't translate to movies well and far too much is changed. And, that will probably never change so I am now criticizing them on a curve.Two of the biggest flaws in this movie and the previous one, are the portrayal of Dr. Doom and the dialogue. Doom is played like a bad spin on Gordon Gecko and not the terrifying crazed armored scientist. And the sophomoric comic book dialogue doesn't mix very well with the "real world" look of the heroes. This makes for some cringe worthy moments like when this Doom is being chased by the FF and he yells "Let's go a spin!" right before he puts them in a whirlwind.The Surfer is somewhat acceptable and Galactus, IMO, should have either not been included or played exactly as he is in the comics. In short, the movie was mediocre. The effects kept it from being panned even worse.

I loathed the first FANTASTIC FOUR movie with a passion, so when I saw that this sequel was on TV I wasn't really considering watching it. In the event, nothing else was on, so I decided to give it a try. It was everything I expected, and nothing more.The best thing you can say about this film is that it's slightly better than the first. I find 'origin' stories long-winded and often boring, but that's not the case here. The film straight away gets on with the (slim) plot, so there's not a lot of time for boredom. However, there is a lot of silliness, mostly involving some excruciating CGI effects used to animate Ioan Gruffudd's stretchy arms and legs.Amid this kid's stuff, there's a very, very thin plot about the titular character, who flies around the world, causing disaster and making craters in the ground. After a couple of lacklustre set-pieces at the London Eye and Black Forest, there's an unsurprising twist, a briefly seen and rather ludicrous super-baddie (the size of a planet) and the unwelcome return of ultra-stiff actor Julian McMahon as the ludicrously named villain, Victor Von Doom.Gruffudd has the decency to look mildly embarrassed at all this, and Jessica Alba's acting is absolutely diabolical. Chris Evans is, once again, irritating, and only Michael Chiklis seems to be having fun as the guy made out of rock. The silver surfer is well animated (you can see that's where the money went), voiced by Laurence Fishburne and occasionally acted by the skinny guy in a suit Doug Jones (HELLBOY), but otherwise there's little of interest here for adults in what is definitely a kid's film.

This film tells the story of the four superheroes who fight against a mysterious but powerful enemy on a silver surfboard.Superhero films, especially Marvel films, have come a long way in the past yen years. When the first "Fantastic Four" was released ten years ago, it was just another blockbuster film. This sequel was also unable to create much shockwaves. In just a few years, Marvel films have become sensations. The films have become very entertaining, and yet every film seems to surpass the previous one. A Marvel film opening is certainly an event in itself.With this background, I'm sure if I watched "4: Rise of the Silver Surfer" when it was first released, I would have enjoyed it a lot better. The film mixes action with quite a lot of comedic scenes. It also has a lot of eye candies, which should be a recipe for success. This film has fallen victim of Marvel's success.However, I guess viewers are all very spoilt. I find the comedic scenes too ridiculous. The silver surfer look so fake that it looks like a B movie computer graphic. The plot doesn't provide enough thrills either, because a collapsing London Eye just doesn't make the cut anymore.
