Review:
Reed (Ioan Grufudd) and Sue (Jessica Alba) are trying to get married for the third time. Suddenly, the Silver Surfer appears and threatens the planet. He is very cool and all silver, including his surfboard. Reed, Sue, Johnny (Chris Evans) and Ben (Michael Chiklis) must leave the wedding unfinished, again. The four work as a team but none of them is perfect. Johnny is interested in endorsements, Ben is in love, Reed is still a scientific geek and Sue just wants to get married and live a normal life. The movie is nonstop action from beginning to end. There are tons of great special effects to keep the interest of younger children. There is some action violence and one person does get incinerated. There is some sexual innuendo but it is made clear that a committed relationship is the best. There is a strong female character that is handicapped and living a full life. There is some mild language (crap, screwed up). I would recommend this movie to children 8 and older. Which superpower would you most like to have and why? Why do superheroes sometimes want to live a “normal life”?
