Review

The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer 2 -Disc Set is an excellent release and nothing like the rest. Unlike other super hero movie giants, Fantastic Four focuses more on entertainment and humor then filling the screen with angst heart-breaking drama and breathtaking battle sequences. This movie franchise relates the everyday life of a family that just happens to have super powers, be uber famous, and help save the world every now and again. This is a very different from their Spiderman, and Superman, and X-men counterparts.

Also, deleted and extended scenes, a making of the movie, interactive capabilities, and future features are included on the 2nd DVD. In the end what the audience once is what they get in their cast of memorable characters. Reed Richard’s is bending at his best, Sue Storm making a scandalous invisible appearance or two, Johnny Storm is heating up the skies and the ladies, and Ben Grimm, well, he is still the lovable hunk a rock with a short fuse for pain.
