Rise of the Silver Surfer Review- NO SPOILERS!

The bar was set at Mole Man height as my friends and I entered the theater to watch FF 2. One hour and twenty-nine minutes later we were all pleasantly surprised. Shocked even. This movie didn't suck. It wasn't dissapointing as the first film and although it did have it share of groans and WHAT?! moments- it was good. Comic book good.

My advice to non-fanboys among us- don't watch the first flim- have someone explain the concept of the Fantastic Four to you- read a few isssues (Kirby & Lee's "Coming of Galactus"), or look it up on Wikipedia even. Then, go see the second movie. You'll enjoy it all that much more. And if you liked what you saw- go back and watch the first one- you'll understand why this one works all the much better. It's a darker flim (Reed has a back bone- telling Johnny and Ben to 'shutup', Surfer destroys without mercy, and Johnny learns to grows up a little). Sadly, Sue is still feh....

I loved it. Consider the DVD bought.
