Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
August 23, 2006
I didn’t used to be much of Fantastic Four fan. In fact, I watched the movie for the first time long after it had been out of theaters. However, my expectations were low and I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed this movie as a popcorn action, fun filled romp, with super heroes.
With this in mind I was actually happy a sequel was planned. I am even happier now knowing the title: Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
The title is wonderfully along the same fun filled lines. Additionally, Jessica Alba had been hinting at a Silver Surfer appearance, it was great to see this come true. The real question now is what about Galactus?
For those not familiar with back story, Silver Surfer first comes to Earth as the herald of Galactus. Galactus is a being of immeasurable power who consumes planets. In the original story he is only defeated when Silver Surfer switches sides and helps the Fantastic Four to defeat him. This is the classic Stan Lee/Jack Kirby story from the Marvel Universe. It defines epic in many ways with effects that are still felt in Marvel stories today.
Just coming off reading the Ultimate Galactus trilogy and the Last Planet Standing limited series, I am seriously pumped to see this story played out on the big screen. In fact, I’m antsy just to see the first trailer!
(Who’d have though I’d ever be excited about a Fantastic Four movie sequel?)
