4: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)

[Movie 127 / Day 110]


Pretty average comic book movie. Jessica Alba is smoking hot, Ioan Gruffudd still seems miscast as her husband-to-be. Chris Evans and Michael Chiklis are both good as the final Fantastic team members, the Human Torch and the Thing respectively.

The story line is pretty much standard comic book fair - alien thing threatens to destroy the earth, only the Fantastic Four have a hope of stopping it. It's nice that the action isn't just confined to America though, with a sizeable set-piece in London and another in Germany.

Watchable - and the kids enjoyed it.

My rating: 6.0 / 10
IMDB rating: 5.9 / 10
Running time: 92 mins
