Silver Surfer has Risen.

Tuesday, June 19, 2007

Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer was, of course, fantastic! The presentation of the Silver Surfer was remarkable, I haven't seen a villain/hero this intimidating for awhile.
Appearing first as a small white comet, the surfer then arrives on earth like a UFO phenomenon, startling people with the cold ice he leaves behind. His appearence during the Reed/Storm wedding brings about chaos, and the Human Torch's defeat after a chase at the surfer.

The beginning brings the audience to wonder "who is this mysterious surfer who came from outer space?", "what is he capable of?", "What are his intentions?".. then somewhere in the middle, then appears a force more frightening that threatens the very existence of Earth: Galactus.

As for me, I already have my vast knowledge in comics to know how the story will go, but the movie makes the experience more new and you find yourself captivated over the beautiful CGI and special effects.

I'd like to go over the flaws like the critic I am, but I prefer not to spoil your fun once you watch it. After all, I like the movie and I hope there will be a Silver Surfer spin-off soon :)
