Note from a Flixster Reviewer: (I had to agree with him, though! - BJ Vadis)
First thing I have to say is that people that don't read comic books won't really get full value of the movie. If you do know, then you would fully understand what happens at the end of the whole movie. I personally found this movie to be better than the first. The storyline was alright, and the special effects were done really well. The special effects, the Silver Surfer and Jessica Alba are probably the only things saving the movie from flopping. Speaking of the Silver Surfer, they portrayed him pretty well in the movie even though there are some things they changed from the comics. For those that want a quick synopsis of what the movie is about. The Silver Surfer comes to Earth to help scope out if the planet is worthy for his master, Galactus, to devour. While on Earth, the Silver Surfer's cosmic powers affect the planet which catches the awareness of the Fantastic Four. From there, they encounter the Silver Surfer, and with the help from Dr. Doom (which has been revived due to the Surfer) defeats the Surfer. From there, the team then has to defeat Dr. Doom and the arrival of Galactus. I won't spoil the ending for you guys, but if you do want to know without watching the movie, feel free to send me an e-mail. Overall the movie is alright, but could have been better. One of the thing that many fans would be complaining about would be the physical appearance of Galactus. In this movie he is portrayed as a giant cloud that basically covers the planet and devours it by sticking cloud tentacles into the planet and sucking it dry. Many might have dislike the fact that he wasn't a giant purple tights wearing freak chomping on the planet. What i felt they should have done was to have him as a gas cloud, but make the cloud shaped as Galactus portrayed in the comics. This would have been best for the movie, but what is done and done and we got to live with it. Once again, the movie is alright, and I guess watch it if you enjoy the Fantastic Four.
