Rise of the Silver Surfer - Fantastic 4
Free watch Fantastic 4. This film has been called a 90 minute thrill ride by some of the cast members. Fair enough. I think that’s the best thing to be said about the film. But, unfortunately, it’s also the films most damning liability. Sure-fire, wowing ‘em story conference vortices spin up every 90 seconds and nothing ever really slows down enough for the audience to savor pieces of time. Tons of good stuff is tossed off as a waste. (Example: The medieval tapestries in Doctor Doom’s castle are glimpsed for about two seconds, briefly picked out of Stygian dark by a restless camera. Works for a music video. Not so sure about here. I thought of what a genius producer like Val Lewton could have done to get that kind of detail on the screen, further probing a conspicuous and memorable prop as a metaphorical or sub-textual comment on a character. Here, it’s just “hey, look, we had a big budget”.
