Just came back from watching this family friendly superhero movie and well, it just entertain enough with some interesting plot and action. So, the first superhero family are back to the big screen and this time they brought along another superhero to share their screen time- the ultra cool Silver Surfer.
The story began in the mist of the wedding of the century- the fantastic couple Reed Richards aka Mr Fantastic and Susan Storm aka Invisible Woman. But the family affair is soon interrupted by a cosmic anomaly that soon escalated into something more grim. And in between they have to deal with the bossy government military and their old nemesis, Victor Von Doom aka Dr Doom at the same time.
Story wise, it alot lighter than most of recent superhero movie out there (Spider-Man, Batman Returns etc) and about the same level of kid friendly as the other superhero family- The Incredibles. Anyway the plots keeps you interesting enough to ignore the rather predictable storyline. But considering its target audience, it's understandable.
Compare to their first movie, this one seems to offer a lot more. Action, location, characters and visual effects which not a bad thing at all. The action takes you from New York to German and to China. Super powers flying around with lots of explosive destruction for the action fans and some comedy moments to laugh at. Though it's strange that the movie did an anime like fan-service at one scene. Go figure. There's enough eye candies to go by in the movie like postergirl Jessica Alba in tights and the six-pack hunk Silver Surfer who to me like a visualy upgraded metalic T-1000 (Terminator 2 anyone?)
While it pales to the likes of Spider-Man3 and Pirates of Carribean, Fantastic Four 2 do holds its ground as an enjoyable fun family or friends outing. And for those who rather spent money on the other up-coming good vs evil visual effect loaded movie (hint hint), there's always the special edition DVD release.
