Silver Side Up

Just got back from "4 - Rise of the Silver Surfer" (apparently the team is no longer 'fantastic'). Fun, frothy and forgettable. Some nice character moments, great CGI and performance from Doug Jones as the surfer, and refreshingly short. Also, some really bad CGI for Mr. Fantastic stretching, no-one's figured out how to use Invisible Woman's actual power well, 'aw, crap' featured way too much (I'm no prude, but it just felt pointless), and the main plot was very slight. Oh, nice 'empower the nerds' speech - yup kids, someday you may be able to get revenge on that school bully by flying into space, getting hit with cosmic radiation, gaining the ability to stretch your body into all sorts of weird shape, and hook up with Jessica Alba. I'll let you make the obvious joke...
