Usually in movies like this the actors are stunted by the script. Don't get me wrong, there quite a few minor issues with the screen play but it is the best part of the movie. The characters attempt complexity and in the case of the silver surfer, achieve it. There is a lot of funny banter between Johnny Storm and Ben Grimm. Even the relationship between Reed Richards and Sue Storm attempts depth, and with better actors, might have achieved it. We aren't talking middle of the ocean depth here, just deep end of the pool. Even so, there isn't too much wrong with the script. It has good flow, fun action and mostly good dialogue. Too bad we couldn't say the same for the rest of the movie.

This movie suffers from the same problem so many super hero movies do, too many bad guys.

I don't believe in writing spoilers but I'm going to make an exception this one time. Dodge, the car company, is the major sponsor of the movie. We know this from the repeated product placements and blatant mentions of Dodge products.

Even with all the bad acting and ridiculous product placement, the movie does have pretty enjoyable moments. I loved all the scenes with the Silver Surfer. All of his special effects are fantastic. Lawrence Fishbourne's voice resonates wonderfully in your head.

I am not going to recommend that you see this movie, nor will I tell you to run screaming from it. If you just need a little mindless entertainment coupled with a mind coma, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer may be the one for you.
