Critics Consensus

While an improvement on its predecessor, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer is nevertheless a juvenile, simplistic picture that has little benefit beyond its special effects.

Dana Stevens

Slate

An off-brand superhero movie, the cinematic equivalent of one of those generic breakfast cereals with a badly drawn squirrel for a mascot.

Sydney Morning Herald

The film's effects people perform many miracles, from draining the River Thames to ensuring that the Thing produces a convincing smile. But one thing they can't do is to make the unfailingly wholesome Mr Fantastic and friends worth worrying about.

Rated: 2/5

Austin Chronicle

Rise of the Silver Surfer is both relentlessly dull and curiously bombastic.

A scattergun sequel that makes the franchise feel tired, two films in.

Rise of the Silver Surfer is a step in the right direction, but that doesn't make me eager for another chapter.

This film is better than the first one, but it still isn't considered 'good' like other Marvel films. It tells a more stable story, but that's about it. There isn't much character development, no proper villain arc, and the comedy feels pointless. Films like X-Men and X2 told a stable and contained story with a clear direction, unlike these two Fantastic Four films that seemed unsure of the kind of film they wanted to be.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

A very cluttered and poorly structured sequel that provides some delight and okay acting but also offers a rushed and underwhelming story with bland characterizations. I also think that Galactus and Silver Surfer could have been utilized so much better.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

A great sequel to the last movie. I really wish they had made a third one in this franchise because they deserved a trilogy in my opinion.
