This ‘Fantastic Four’ sequel chronicles the Marvel Comics team – Mr. Fantastic (who’s stretchy), The Thing (who’s strong), the Human Torch (obvious) and Invisible Woman (who’s Jessica Alba) – as they face a new enemy, the Silver Surfer (Jones).
The Silver dude (animated by Wellington’s Weta Workshop) is sent from outta space by Galactus – a planet eating tyrant with his chops set on Earth. The fable of the Silver Surfer goes that, after a bit of time here, he finds humanity something worth saving. Because of the betrayal, Galactus dooms him to spend the rest of his life on Earth. Sequel also sees the return of F4’s nemesis, Doctor Doom (McMahon).

Stuff
Stuff"The last one was awful, one of the worst movies of its year, while the new one is a pleasure, one of the most enjoyable pictures of the season... the truth is, "Rise of the Silver Surfer" doesn't aspire to much. It just happens to have the three things it needs -- velocity, artistry and a pretty good story..."

Los Angeles Times
Los Angeles Times"A better-quality sequel, but that wasn't really too difficult. The original was one of the worst movies of 2005, and while "Rise" won't win any awards, it's (mostly) less offensive than its predecessor. Faint praise, but I'll be damned if I go any further than that..."

Film Threat
Film Threat"Thankfully, this film excels at blowing stuff up. The sketchy characterisation and kiddie-friendly slapstick are ably papered over with dazzling set pieces of globe-skipping, landmark-bashing action..."
