When will the people who adapt comic books into films realize that less can be so much more? - 60
Variety
At a time when tortured superheroes like Spider-Man, Superman and Batman would benefit from some serious psychotherapy, it's almost refreshing to see a comicbook caper as blithe, weightless and cheerfully dumb as Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. - 50
L.A. Weekly
The script, credited to "Twin Peaks" co-creator Mark Frost and longtime "Simpsons" writer Don Payne, unsuccessfully strives for hipster irreverence. - 50
Chicago Tribune
It is passable comic book stuff, dumb and loud. Loud. LOUD. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
An improvement of sorts over the lifeless 2005 edition. - 50
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Diverting, at times even visually impressive, but has neither the spirit or style of "Spider-Man" nor the ambition of "X-Men." - 50
Los Angeles Times
Earnest, gee-whiz and foursquare, this simple and intentionally inoffensive sequel gets points for being easy to take and scrupulously avoiding obvious sources of irritation.
