There is a disturbing presence of balls in this image.
 

Adding the Silver Surfer character was a remarkable choice. He brings in the next level of intergalactic danger that forced the Fantastic Four into crazier and crazier comic book adventures. As in the books, the Surfer is a fascinating and unforgettable character. His presence is demanding and everytime he's on screen, the whole movie raises in quality. Doug Jones archieves to give him the same kind of magic he did to Abe Sapien and the child eating pale man.
Johnny Storm is great again. His mockeries and jokes are as good as his action sequences.
In retrospect, Fantastic Four 2 basically repeats most of the first movie. It's a fast and well-made ride and a good family time at the theatres. It's an amazing flick for the younger ones and at the same time, no insult for adults.
 

Thing is, Fantastic Four 2 isn't really a great movie. It's easily entertaining, but Tim Story horribly fails to aim for the amazing epic he could have done. The appearance of planet-eating Galactus as a hidden force behind a thunderstorm is one huge disappointment, the badness of Dr Doom another. Everytime Doom appears you'll hear a snicker in the seats and not even the well-done action scenes with him seem to apologize for it.
The dialogues. Jesus, they are of the worst I've heard so far. Jessica Alba's invisible woman is even worse than McMahon's steelface. While she was never a good actress to begin with here she's the definition of bad. If you're outacted by a silver naked CGI man, it's time to get some training. Clocking in at about 80 minutes, FF2 is also damn short. There are only a few action scenes (you've basically seen all of them in the trailers) and none of them leave an impression.

The cosmic power of... flatulence.
 

There's a nonstop naked guy on a flying surfboard and a visible invisible naked Jessica Alba. Beware, you see nothing.
Someone gets impaled, but nothing too graphic.
 

- Fantastic Four
- Ghost Rider
- Daredevil
 

Fantastic Four could have been so much better, but fails too delivery due to a rushed script and the cowardice to bring a major enemy. The movie is well done and occasionally funny, but clearly no a-list material.

Sequel idea: It's all about the guy with the purple helmet.
