Plot / Synopsis: The Fantastic Four meet their greatest challenge yet in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, as the enigmatic, intergalactic herald, The Silver Surfer, comes to Earth to prepare it for destruction. As he races around the globe wreaking havoc, Reed, Sue, Johnny and Ben must unravel the mystery before all hope is lost. Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer is the second installment of the live-action film series based on what fans around the globe know as "The World’s Greatest Comic Magazine." Fantastic Four directed by Tim Story and released in the summer of 2005, had a worldwide theatrical gross of $330 million and became one of Twentieth Century Fox’s most successful DVD titles ever.

For Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, an intriguing element is added to the cast of characters of the 2005 hit – the Silver Surfer. Academy Award® winning visual effects house Weta Digital (The Lord of the Rings, King Kong), working with the film’s visual effects supervisor Scott Squires (a three-time Oscar® nominee whose credits include Star Wars Episode 1 – The Phantom Menace), created the ultimate computer-generated Silver Surfer, which will be true to the Marvel Comics character beloved by fans worldwide. Weta developed an advanced CG process to bring added dimensionality to the character. Doug Jones provided character and movement references for the digital wizards at Weta.

The Silver Surfer joins the returning family of superheroes from the Marvel Comics universe, including Ioan Gruffudd as Reed Richards, who can stretch and contort his body into any shape he can imagine and, as the group’s leader, is known as Mister Fantastic; Jessica Alba as Sue Storm, who is able to render herself invisible and to create and project powerful force fields as Invisible Woman; Chris Evans as Johnny Storm, known as The Human Torch, who can engulf his body in flames and take flight at will; and Michael Chiklis as Ben Grimm, whose freakish transmutation into a rock-like, superhumanly strong creature led him to be called The Thing. Julian McMahon reprises his “Fantastic Four” role as the Four’s steely-eyed, iron-fisted nemesis, Dr. Doom. Kerry Washington is back as Ben’s love interest, the blind sculptress Alicia Masters.

I still dont get why the silver surfer is a villain cause he is good. If i remember correctly he feeds galactus dead planets.. So no one will be planetless.

from what i know about they surfer he wasn't "good" all along wasn't evil either...the movie barely touched on it but he marks worlds so galactus can feed on them

Shini

Um.. DK... dead planets?? Who fooled you?? So why would he bring him to Earth then, as well as other inhabited planets??

He's more a neutral char because he is working for an "evil" thing.. but he can be influenced by how people affect his emotions or his way of thinking.

He was mortal once afterall.

as far as i remmeber he is a neutral chracter who as someone said marks planets for galactus to feed off. if ma memory serves me correctly he visits planet and judges them on the level of advancement they have achieved technologically i believe and deceides if they are worth being spared or if their world should die. cud b wrong though.

well just finished watching it and in all honesty thur were cheesy parts overall but i must admit the movie was pretty decent. im mostly happy tht i got to see alot of the human torch in action this time around. also glad they brought even more elements of the actual comic to life......dum dum dah...the ill fitted fantastic four jet tht can break apart. was fun seeing tht. main thing i didnt like though was how easy they make it seem to whoop silver surfers ass, so wasnt feeling that but on the up side got to see the surfer use his powers....^_^

Glate Success!!!!!!

Let's see......As with most movies these days based on comics or whatever, they usually screw the storyline. SS doesn't die in the comics, and Galactus cannot be killed like that. Anyways, as put by my G/F, the movies are not onging as the comics, and therefore the elements that are passing through need a more definitive ending, other than continuing to run around the galaxy etc. It would be nice to see something that sticks true to the story, but doing so would mean continuing the movies for a really long strech.

just did a bit of research and found out sum interesting stuf mainly tht its actuially ma boy Morpheus from the wonderful matrix trilogy tht did the Silver surfers voice so thts hella cool.

anyways, no way the surfer dead more htan likely he the energy blast thingy he did was to create a black hole or sumthin and teleport galactus away.

found out tht they palniing on making a prequel of sorts for silver surfer
"Screenwriter Don Payne has said he'd love to write a spin-off for the Silver Surfer and explore his origins, either in flashbacks or a prequel film.[4] Actor Julian McMahon is signed on for a third film.[20] J. Michael Straczynski, writer of the current Silver Surfer: Requiem series for Marvel, is writing the Silver Surfer screenplay."

Feh, from I read from early on that Galactus was gonna be a cloud, that decreased my hopes in the movie dramatically.

And Silver Surfer actor wasnt even informed that he would be voiced over... and i wanted to hear him, cause i heard his voice for silver surfer would give shivers and chills.

A big FEH!!!!

I never said anything wrong with Lawrence Fishburne... love him and from the previews, his dubs sound real good.

But I wish they had given the original actor a chance to show what he is capable of.
Im sure those who saw the movie (havent yet), you probbaly all thought he did a pretty good job of being silver surfer... so I think he should have been given his chance.

Fi real.... Galactus a CLOUD?!?!?! what the hell!!!...... Only people who may really enjoy that are people who really don't know anything about Galactus and Silver Surfer. It was an okay... not great but something to pass the time. IMHO that is..

yes we know galactus should be a big being in a sship with tentacales that suck the plannet dry and what not. but really a dunno if they could pull of a galactus. they did the surfer well. but i doubt they could pull a galactus.

And honestly if the guy sounded better than fishburne i'm sure they would have used him tho :dunno

Silver Surfer was nice done decently.... The voice over was perfect... so no problem in that (honestly never even noticed it was a voice over heheheh). Point taken on the Galactus thing..... they should have made a ship then we would figure that he was in the ship.... but a cloud? ohh well it was watchable.

As I think about it though if Galactus is a (Cloud as in the movie) how could a cosmic explosion destroy him? That alone would tell me that the Silver surfer seemed to have just killed himself and not Galactus (in the movie that is)
Anywa we (I) are being to technical now.... Next movie!!! :D

death_knight
06-21-2007, 12:53 PM
nah you right bout that part. If he was indeed a cloud of sorts an explosion couldn't kill him.. but.. i think you looking at it wrong the cosmic explosion should obliterate by destructional force on matter, but probably relative to the cosmic energy which is what they both were.

Maybe its a cancellation kind of action. Where the surfer used his own energy to negate / cancel Glactus's

so who from the fantastic 4 died...i not watching no more happily ever after crap movies, where the bad guy gets to kill someone and holds off only to die in the end.

Shini
06-21-2007, 07:24 PM
Feh oh please... heroes are too pretty to be killed off... if you not pretty or you stupid.. you die.

Erm as for Galactus... it is a huge pile of canine excretion if Galactus... who is considered almost godlike (not God-like :p )... if he is killed by an explosion no matter how huge.

Granted.. in Marvel Zombies, he and Silver Surfer did die when the marvel superheroes and villan zombies ate them... now that was a damn funny comic.

henderson
06-21-2007, 10:24 PM
lol...not all the heroes. just some lame ass characters who decide fi stand up to the real big man them..take wolverine taking magneto's powers away. that lame. that alone make me nuh want too watch none a them comic show.

plus the first movie did done so lame...i hope this one better than the first though
