After the success of the first film, we had no choice but to watch the second Fantastic Four one, so again me and hubby watched it first just to check it was suitable before letting my boys watch it.

The film starts with Reed and Sue supposed to be getting married but they get a visit from the American Military as strange things have been happening on Earth. Reed does take a look at it and they discover that the mysterious object which has been seen is in fact a man on a surf board who is making great craters in the Earths surface. They ask Reed if me will help them but he turns them down as his wedding is only days away.

Unbeknown to Sue, Reed does make a machine which can predict where the next crater will be and how they can get the man off the surf board. He gets a call during his wedding and soon it is interrupted by the arrival of the Silver Surfer as he is trying to make a crater right in the middle of the city where they are getting marred.

The Fantastic Four are then required to help stop this surfer but things take a drastic turn when Johnny follows the Silver Surfer and after touching him his powers start to fail and if any of the other guys touch him they swap powers! Thing loves this and keeps touching him!

They go to where they predict the next crater will be made along with the military and try to capture the Silver Surfer but when they arrive they find that Dr Doom is also there, he claims that he has lost his powers after being struck by the Silver Surfer but is he being completely honest?

Will they be able to stop the Silver Surfer and will they find out what his aim is? Will Dr Doom stay good or is his overall plan evil?

I really did enjoy this film just as much as the first. I thought that the story was very good although not at all believable but this is a fantasy so the story can become as far fetched as the writers imagination! I did enjoy the addition of the Silver Surfer character as it gave a new dimension to the story and the original characters.

The acting from all involved was very good and I did believe in all of the characters. I thought that they all worked extremely well together and all had a great chemistry. I enjoyed how Thing and Johnny Storm still kept their banter and childlike arguments going as this did add some humour to the film. There was a cameo appearance from Stan Lee which I found to be good as I am lead to believe that he was the creator of the Marvel comics!

The effects in the film were just as god as the first
