What Parents Need to Know
About Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
Parents need to know that this sequel to Fantastic Four is tamer than the original and much more tween-friendly. Like most superhero flicks, it includes loud, cartoonish violence -- but only two characters get seriously hurt or die. Most scenes involve crowds panicking as the Silver Surfer creates huge craters around the world. Unlike other conflicted superheroes, the Fantastic Four enjoy being of service, and everyone knows their true identities. There's some iffy language ("ass," "crap," "damn," etc.) and more innuendo than you might expect (characters talk about getting "hot," Johnny asks The Thing how he and his girlfriend "you know," and so on), but overall it's lighter and less complicated than similar comic book-based action films.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how this movie is similar to and different from other superhero films. What makes the Fantastic Four different from other superheroes? Do you like them better or worse than characters like Superman and Spider-Man? Why? Families can also discuss selflessness and responsibility. Sue tells the Silver Surfer that every being has a choice to do the right or wrong thing. Are there times when you're pressured to do something and feel there's no other choice?

Good role models lacking
Title says it all. Reed is depicted as a stereotypical male who, though good intentioned, can't seem to control his libido. Sure, Sue was indignant, but couldn't he be too?

Very good movie
Although this movie wasn't very violent, I should mention that it was a little more violent then the first Fantastic Four movie. In one scene, Ben tries to stop a helicopter from crashing and gets hit by the blades (but he doesn't get a scratch). In another scene, Victor injures the silver surfer with electric shock. But the most disturbing scene is close to the end when one of the characters gets run through with a spear, but it isn't long before the silver surfer steps in and heals her. In my opinion, the language is a little too much for a PG movie. Just for that, I think parents should consider this a mild PG-13. But most families would like one of the twists this movie has. One character who appears to be a bad guy eventually switches sides and ends up helping the good guys. I may be old-fashioned, but I like it when that happens.

infinitely better than the first one
I believe this movie has more cussing than any other PG movie ever. I'm shocked it wasn't PG-13. I can't figure out how the director pulled that one off. If you don't mind your kids listen to some cussing(which they probably hear at school anyway) then this movie is pretty good

Fun comic book superheros
This was a fun movie with a good message(that is not so subtly spelled out), "there is always a choice." I could have done without the sexual innuendos, but they are very mild and will most likely be over the head of anyone who shouldn't get it. The team learns to work together and the audience sees that violence isn't the way to solve the problems.

Garbage
This commercial for selling comic garbage is just that. The "its ok to have a bachelor party and degrade women" and other bad attitudes makes this movie more poision for everyone.

good for kids but not for an adult unless your into sci-fi
It really wasn't as bad as I was read it was going to be. Yes, there are some language. Such as A**. But the sexual content was pretty low level compared to the comments made in the review. Unless your child is advanced in the sexual content area, I do not think they will catch on to it.

A Film for Adults in a Commercial Kiddie Wrapper
If you haven't already been pummeled with the rampant marketing and toy-exploitation for this film- stop now. This sad piece is little more than a commercial for the many movie product tie-ins. It is violent, loud and has coarse dialogue that no parent wants repeated outside the cinema. The "message" that the film makers try to impart is over-powered by nasty physical and verbal fighting between characters and constant insults that are hurled. Don't be lured to see this by the supposed"toned down" nature that has been appearing in reviews. It is a film that has been produced to fit adult tastes.

Awesome movie, go see it.
this movie is awesome, it's way better than the first one. some language in the movie but nothing to harsh, there is the scene where Johnny asks Ben how he and his girlfriend "you know". Other things that commonsense lists are okay for kids my age, since we already know about this stuff. I do feel that it could've gotten a PG-13 rating, but PG is cool too. Do not recommend for younger kids unless you do what PG rating suggests (cover ears, eyes, what not). Take your kids to go see this movie, it's awesome, it's way better than the first one, you'll have an awesome time.
