Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer / USA / 2007

An improvement on the original, but then again so was major dental surgery. The whole thing just feels like a kids TV show blown up to ludicrous proportions- the jokes, the characters, even the effects just feel resolutely small scale. But it doesn’t outstay it’s welcome, and there are a few exciting scenes. Overall, relatively painless.

Interesting to note, screenplay co-credit on both films goes to Mark Frost, co-creator of Twin Peaks. Further, slightly saddening proof of who really had the chops in that collaboration.
