The past couple of years have been, er, super-busy for composer John Ottman: He wrote ... more
super-heroic scores for movies such as Superman Returns, X2: X-Men United and two Fantastic Four installments, including this one. Being a sequel, Rise of the Silver Surfer reintroduces some themes from its predecessor (as on "Botched Heroics"). The main new development, of course, is associated with the titular hero, and it starts off the CD. Appropriately, considering Silver Surfer's conflicted nature, a moody undercurrent courses through the track, even when it finally gets to soar. New villain Galactus is a big ol' cosmic cloud of evil; appropriately again, his theme ("Galactus Destroys/Opening") is distinguished by a certain synthetic, low-end fuzziness. Overall, the CD is relatively low key for a big summer action movie. The suspense/action cues don't pummel your eardrums; a track like "Sibling Switch" brings to mind the classicism of Bernard Herrman circa Psycho, while the use of the choir of "Four in One" isn't that different from what you could hear in 1960s sword-and-sandals epics. This relative restraint may frustrate those who enjoy contemporary bombast, but it will be a pleasant surprise for fans of a more restrained approach. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Advantages: Brilliant Special Effects Disadvantages: None
I am writing a review on the brilliant film The FantasticFour ? Rise of the SilverSurfer.
I went to the cinema last night ? 28 June to see this film because I saw the first one and I loved it so I had to go and see the sequel.
The Story Itself
FantasticFour have returned with a lot more trouble ? Reed & Sue (Mr Fantastic & Invisible Woman) are to be wed. But as superheroes, having a normal wedding wouldn?t be possible? Because at the same time of their wedding ? The Earth is encountering unexplained happenings ? Everything is turning to ice, and all planets after turn into rubble ? Destroyed. So? the wedding is ruined by an uninvited guest by an old enemy.
So the FantasticFour get together with the police to find out what is going on. All they know is that it?s a silver man on a surf board.
To the heroes? dismay ...
Advantages: Family-friendly, entertaining Disadvantages: Pretty silly and not particularly spectacular
FantasticFour: Rise of the SilverSurfer wasn't a film I particularly wished to rush out and see. But, in the absence of anything better on at the Odeon, I decided to give it a go. I hadn't seen the first one, I had no particular wish to see the first one, and now after seeing this, I still have no particular wish to see the first one.
Presumably carrying on from the end of the first one, Reed Richards/Mr Fantastic (Ioan Gruffudd) is getting married to Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman (Jessica Alba). Her brother, Johnny Storm/The Human Torch (Chris Evans, no, not THAT Chris Evans) and Ben Grimm/The Thing (Michael Chiklis) complete the super-powered team. If you want the back story, you'll have to check out the first one.
Sadly for the happy couple, a mystical entity called the SilverSurfer (voiced by Laurence Fishbourne) has ...

DVD Description
The sequel to the 2005 blockbuster FANTASTIC FOUR, RISE OF THE SILVER SURFER finds the Marvel superhero quartet of Reed Richards (Ioan Gruffudd), Sue Storm (Jessica Alba), Johnny Storm (Chris Evans), and Ben Grimm (Michael Chiklis) facing an extraterrestrial threat in the form of the title character (played by Doug Jones and voiced by Laurence Fishburne), an enigmatic being whose presence on Earth could signal the planet's end. Amidst the ensuing action, Reed and Sue attempt to tie the knot, and an old foe (Dr. Doom, portrayed by Julian McMahon) waits in the wings, allowing for plenty of levity and drama. This FANTASTIC FOUR outing, once again directed by Tim Story, gets much of its verve from the Silver Surfer himself. Played by Jones, an actor best known for his dual roles in PAN'S LABYRINTH, the Surfer is more than just CGI sheen, with subtle movements that seem truly alien and a voice of supreme gravitas, courtesy of Fishburne. Reed and Sue deal with wedding woes, while the fiery Johnny (aka The Human Torch) and a rock-solid Ben (The Thing) provide an extra dose of humour in a power-switching plot, making the film much lighter than other Marvel offerings.
