This box set was the 3rd "FF - Rise of the Silver Surfer" DVD which I purchased. The first two DVD's "jammed" at exactly the same place in the film - when the Surfer has been captured and is about to be injected by a "Govt. Doctor" - who is called away - "Sue Strong - as the Invisible Woman" goes into his cell to talk to him, the SS says " I know you are there" and the disc jams - both discs did and refuse to go to the next scene - "scene 21." Very frustrating, must be a glitch on the manufacture of these discs. However -this boxed set played straight through with no problems, so I would recommend this boxed set over any other "FF - Rise of the Silver Surfer" DVD. Enjoyable film too - once I got to watch the entire film!

When a mysterious Silver Surfer appears around the Earth, Reed starts to investigate what is going on, but he as other things on his mind like getting married to Susan Storm one of the members of the Fantastic four, but their wedding does not go to plan as the Silver Surfer turns up. They find out later that Earth is in danger from a powerful space being that eats worlds up. In this well made action movie with brilliant action and special effects, also brilliant acting too. 10+++++/10 Movie.
Coming across like the scatty younger sibling to the more serious, more mature ‘ X-Men’ films, 2005’s ‘Fantastic Four’ substituted corny comic banter and cheesy effects for solemnity, subtext and drama, and proved a sizeable hit with the prepubescent crowd. This numeral-less sequel aims for a similar demographic with a family-friendly, mankind-under-threat, globe-trotting plot that takes in our fair city (where the Eye’s saved from tumbling into the Thames) and an appearance by the Fantasticar that will, clearly, shift a few more toys. Gruffudd still looks faintly embarrassed at having to play the rubber-limbed, big-brained Mr Fantastic whose wedding to Invisible Woman Sue Storm (Alba) is interrupted by the all-CGI Silver Surfer, a cosmic visitor who rides the stars on his liquid metal board (man), and whose appearance presages various destructive anomalies around the world. But the Surfer’s arrival only heralds that of the planet-devouring Galactus, a god-like entity and one of the most feared villains in the Marvel Universe portrayed here by a, er, cloud. McMahon’s Dr Doom, meanwhile, returns to annoy the comic book faithful and there’s the ubiquitous, cringe-worthy cameo from Stan Lee, this time playing himself. Marginally more entertaining than before, and shorter too, although Story’s direction remains as drab and anonymous as ever. Kids will no doubt love it. For dads, there’s always Alba.Read full review
A really good film, I would say personally it is better than the first one. I watched the first one and it sparked an interest, so I bought Silver Surfer and was very happy with what I saw. The actors have now settled into their role as the Fantastic Four and it shows, the just an ordinary family with extraordinary powers. The Silver Surfer looks amazing, as does the Fantastic Fours power, there is also a return of Dr Doom, has he turned good, or is there a twist in the plot? I think this film will be enjoyed by adults and children, a good family film, definalty worth buying
