Weekend Box Office: Fantastic Four Rises to No. 1
By James A. on June 17th, 2007
Despite a bunch of bad reviews, “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer” trampled the competition at the box office. The superhero sequel, starring Jessica Alba and Ioan Gruffudd, earned $57.4 million, which bests the first film’s $56 million debut in 2005. “Fantastic Four” went on to make $155 million.
The weekend’s other new release, “Nancy Drew,” opened in seventh place with $7.1 million. The mystery flick stars Emma Roberts as the teen detective.
Last weekend’s No. 1 movie, “Ocean’s Thirteen,” was a distant second with $19.1 million. The heist sequel, starring George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Matt Damon, raised its total to $69.8 million.
The Judd Apatow comedy “Knocked Up” remained in third with $14.5 million. It’s earned $90.5 million since it was released on June 1.

Too bad the movie was terrible, just as the first. And Galactus as a cloud? I wanted to storm out and demand a refund of both my money and time.

This movie is not a good movie. I was half asleep while watching it. The plots are brief and not fully explained. The actors are very bad in their acting. The ending of this movie is somewhat expected and can be guess easily. The only cool thing in this second movie is the Silver Surfer character. His power is much stronger than many other characters in this movie. This movie has a very brief explanation of why the Silver Surfer was on planet earth which did give the audiences somewhat a mystery about him, and it’s a good thing to do that. Though the con is that you can’t really relate to or have any sad feeling for the Silver Surfer when he was in trouble during the movie plus at the end of the movie. Also why Silver Surfer did not feel remorse for what he did to thousands of other planet but instead just for the planet earth. The Silver Surfer’s race has no common characteristic with the human, and so why the female lead character in Fantastic 4 reminds him of his woman, and why the Silver Surfer goes out of his way to protected her? To me a good Fantasy musts make sense in order to draw the audience into a make believe world. Too many illogical points can get the audiences confuse and cannot connect the audiences to the world that the movie tried to convey.
