Summary
Reviewers say 'Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer' shows improvement with better effects and action but still disappoints. The Silver Surfer's introduction is praised, yet weak villains and inconsistent character arcs are noted. The story lacks depth, relying heavily on humor and special effects. Main cast performances are often underwhelming, though some exceptions exist. Despite being more entertaining than its predecessor, the film is criticized for not reaching its full potential.
Featured reviews
The Fantastic Four are back in action, trying to save the world once more, this time from mysterious alien 'The Silver Surfer' whose creating havoc by inflicting blackouts and huge craters throughout the World,
Reed Richards (Ioan Gruffudd) & Susan Storm (The rather tasty Jessica Alba) are due to get married, but their nuptials are disrupted by the arrival of the Silver Surfer, and so along with Johnny Storm & Ben Grimm (Hunky Chris Evans & Michael Chiklis respectively) go into battle.
A lot of money was spent on this sequel ($130M +) and it shows with amazing special FX, The story being a PG rated film is family friendly and doesn't require a PHD in comic books to follow, and also being PG rated the violence is pretty much non-existent so anybody expecting something in the vein of 'The Punisher' this isn't for you... but. everybody else - young or old should find a lot of light hearted enjoyment from the Fantastic Quartet... which is FAR better than the original.
Highly Recommended.

Potential for a great movie, the Surfer is a great character and has underrated and amazing abilities. I'd say he's one of the strongest characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The chase scene between the Human Torch and Surfer was amazing.
Overall, the movie touched a bit on that greatness but fell short. My personal rating is probably leaning more towards a 6.5 than a 7.5 but obviously we cannot include decimals in our rating so the movie earns a solid 7. Perhaps production costs prevented what could have been an amazing movie.
Anyone saying, "it sucked" are exaggerating but those saying it was amazing have probably not seen many films to judge appropriately.

I think it's safe to say that when it comes to special effects we have no more expectations, they all nail it these days. This movie was no exception, good graphics and pretty colors as another guy here said. Unfortunately, the moment the special effects kicked in the world of the movies, the good old script got a good kick in the nuts and can barely stand now let alone hold a whole movie on it's feet. This movie again, it's no exception. I have to admit, the plot was OK, the lines good, there was humor, romance, action, a reasonable balance to everything. Yet, I could not feel it taking me in; I remained a spectator, while the short dialogs even though containing the essence of the story, were still dry and well, short. No wonder the movie was a mere 92 minutes. Conclusion, a good PG movie, a bit better than the first one, but which still failed big time to impress, just like the rest of this summer blockbusters.
Laughably awful and downright boring cinematic canine has the titled characters (led by Jessica Alba and Ioan Gruffudd) attempting to save the world from a mysterious alien being who literally glides around causing destruction on a surfboard and foretelling the doom of the entire planet. Never making much sense, "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" tries to get all cutesy by trying to cater to 10-year-old boys with low brow humor and then never creating much suspense or coherency with a screenplay that feels like it was thrown together a few minutes before the cast showed up to start shooting. Even Julian McMahon, who actually carried the first one to its mediocre standing, succumbs to the sheer idiocy of this entire venture. Hopeless. Turkey (0 stars out of 5).
Both movies are definitely underrated.
If I give an overview, yes they are weak in terms of story but the character portrayals, atmosphere, cgi etc. Are better than most superhero productions today and yes they are still fun to watch today.
Mr. Fantastic and Dr. Doom are especially good cast, also Silver Surfer's appearance in this movie is the best in all superhero movies.
Finally, the depiction of Galactus is very debatable, but considering the period and production cost of the film, it was a good handling. Perhaps if he had been portrayed as expected, he would probably have been seen in the film.

- TriviaFor Michael Chiklis' performance as "Thing", a new set of prosthetics were developed. These prosthetics were easier for Chiklis to wear, as they provided better ventilation and could be easily removed, in comparison to the previous film's prosthetics which required six hours to apply, were uncomfortable and could not be easily removed.
- Goofs(at around 45 mins) After the Silver Surfer creates the huge hole in the Thames river, the bed is shown to be empty both upstream and downstream. But the entire river from upstream should have been shown to be emptying down into the hole.
