pressAt a time when tortured superheroes like Spider-Man, Superman and Batman would benefit from some serious psychotherapy, it's almost refreshing to see a comicbook caper as blithe, weightless and cheerfully dumb as Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer...
San Francisco Chronicle
pressThe last one was awful, one of the worst movies of its year, while the new one is a pleasure, one of the most enjoyable pictures of the season... the truth is, "Rise of the Silver Surfer" doesn't aspire to much. It just happens to have the three things it needs -- velocity, artistry and a pretty good story...
Los Angeles Times
pressEarnest, gee-whiz and foursquare, this simple and intentionally inoffensive sequel gets points for being easy to take and scrupulously avoiding obvious sources of irritation...

pressA better-quality sequel, but that wasn't really too difficult. The original was one of the worst movies of 2005, and while "Rise" won't win any awards, it's (mostly) less offensive than its predecessor. Faint praise, but I'll be damned if I go any further than that...

pressThankfully, this film excels at blowing stuff up. The sketchy characterisation and kiddie-friendly slapstick are ably papered over with dazzling set pieces of globe-skipping, landmark-bashing action...
