''Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer'' is a 2007 film directed by Creator/TimStory and the sequel to ''Film/FantasticFour2005''.
The sequel had the wedding of Reed and Sue being canceled by the arrival of more urgent matters: the arrival of the Comicbook/SilverSurfer (Creator/DougJones), the "herald" for the planet-consuming being ComicBook/{{Galactus}}, who in this movie is a giant planet-eating cloud. Loosely based on the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel ComicBook/UltimateGalactusTrilogy written by Creator/WarrenEllis.
On the eve of Reed and Susan's marriage, a series of anomalies begin emerging across the globe, resulting in strange climactic shifts (such as snow in Egypt). While initially downplayed, eventually the US government reaches out to Reed in order to explain the sighting of a strange, silver, comet-like object in the vicinity of the events. Although doing his best to preoccupy himself with his wedding, Reed can't help but examine it closer, which leads him to the startling realization that the end of the world could be imminent.
Incidentally, the movie brought to light a WhatCouldHaveBeen story behind the story; that of the [[http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=4217 1992 short film featuring the Silver Surfer]], which broke every rule in Hollywood's book to even ''exist'', and which was also the first film to utilize the CGI software which would later be made famous for creating the dinosaurs of ''Film/JurassicPark''.

!!IT'S TROPERIN' TIME!
* ActionGirl: Sue, of course who makes good use of her invisibility and force-field powers. Also Cpt. Frankie Raye, Nova from the comic books, who is trained in the military.
* ActionizedSequel: The second film focuses more on action compared to the first film. The bigger budget could be a major reason.
* AdaptationalNameChange: Doomstadt, the capital of Latveria in the comics, is changed to Hassenstadt. It was likely changed because Doom was merely a wealthy businessman who was born in Latveria instead of its leader.
* AllYourPowersCombined: Johnny becomes able to absorb the other's powers. due to exposure from the Silver Surfer. After being a screw up due to his unstable form for most of the movie he uses it to his advantage at the end during the final battle.
* AndIMustScream: At the end of the first movie Doom is fully transformed into living metal. His body is heated up and then rapidly cooled, resulting in a crystallization process that leaves him unable to move, and everyone to believe he is dead. Unfortunately for him, he is still fully conscious. He escapes at the start of the sequel.
* AndTheAdventureContinues: At the end, the wedding is interrupted yet again by a catastrophe in Venice, Italy, prompting Reed and Susan to hurry along the ceremony so the team can respond.
* ArbitrarySkepticism: Ben is initially incredulous when Johnny claims to have seen a "Silver Surfer", despite the fact that most of the people in the room have superpowers and his body has been transformed into pure rock?!
** In a meta example, the whole reason Galactus was changed to a planet sized cloud thing is because the creators thought people would find his humanoid form from the comics too silly/far fetched. Why they thought a ''planet sized cloud'' would be less far fetched is a mystery.
* ArtisticLicenseGeography: Near the end, General Hager brings the captured Surfer to a US military base in Siberia, without even implying the Russians are co-operating with them on with this.
* AsYouKnow: General Hager says this when giving Reed exposition about the unusual occurrences around the world.
* AvoidTheDreadedGRating: Surprisingly averted. The director actually stated that he didn't want to pepper the film because he was happy with its PG rating. It helps that the FF's adventures and tone have almost always been rather family-friendly.
* BadassBoast: Reed, and it was taken almost word-for-word from the Warren Ellis comic book:
-->'''General Hager:''' Let me make it clear for you and your band of freaks here; I'm the quarterback. You're on my team. Got it? But I guess you never played football in high school, did you, Richards?\\
'''Reed:''' No, you're right. I didn't. I stayed in and studied like a good little nerd. And fifteen years later, I'm one of the greatest minds of the 21st century; I'm engaged to the hottest girl on the planet; and the big jock who played quarterback in high school? He's standing in front of me asking for my help. And I say he's not gonna get a damn thing, unless he does exactly what I tell him, and starts treating me and my friends with a little respect.\\
''[{{beat}}]''\\
'''General Hager:''' ...Give him what he wants.
* BigBadEnsemble: Doom and Galactus.
* BizarreAlienBiology: Deleted scenes reveal that since his transformation Ben no longer sweats, he gets dusty.
* BlasphemousBoast: Johnny says Victor has "More money than God."
* BlindAndTheBeast: Ben and Alicia at first. She does soon touch his face and learn the truth, which averts the trope a bit.
* BouquetToss: Johnny shoots it in midair when it looked like Frankie would catch it.
-->'''Johnny''': Sorry, [[DamnYouMuscleMemory reflex.]]
* BrainBleach: Johnny's reaction to his sister Sue stripping down at the bridge. Even worse when she turns visible again while in her underwear.
-->'''Johnny''': "I'm gonna need therapy."
* BrickJoke: Johnny jokes that Silver Surfer must have saved Sue from the missile because he thinks she's cute. When being interrogated, Silver Surfer explained he did it because Sue reminds him of his love interest back on his home world, indicating Sue somewhat resembles her.
* CaptainObvious: When Reed caught sight of Sue with [[WreathedInFlames Johnny's powers]].
-->'''Sue''': I'M ON FIRE!\\
'''Reed''': You're on fire!\\
'''Sue''': YOU THINK?!
* CarFu: Ben chucks a car at Doom during their fight.
-->'''Ben:''' I'm gonna need to borrow your car.\\
'''Car Driver:''' The transmission sticks!\\
'''Ben:''' Not gonna be a problem. ''(accentuating the last word with a toss)''
* ChaseScene: A ''flying'' chase scene between Silver Surfer and Johnny.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: [[spoiler: after Victor steals the Surfer's board, it changes from silver to black.]]
* CoolCar: The Fantasticar.
-->'''Johnny:''' ''[sees the [[ProductPlacement "Dodge" logo]] on the front]'' Hemi?\\
'''Reed:''' Of course!
* CurbStompBattle: Super-powered Johnny versus Doctor Doom. Doctor Doom acquires the Surfboard of the Silver Surfer- which allows him to fire stupidly powerful energy blasts- and to combat that, Johnny grabs the powers of the entire team to take him down. Doom never even gets a single shot off.
* DeadlyForceField: Sue threatens Dr. Doom by informing him she has the ability to create a force field inside of someone and then expand it until the person explodes (an ability well within the range of her comic counterpart).
* DefrostingIceQueen: Captain Frankie Raye is very cold to Johnny at first, but warms up to him through the movie.
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: During the climax, Susan [[spoiler:is killed by the board-enhanced Doom's spear penetrating her force field. Reed cradles her as she passes on but before leaving to fight Galactus, the Silver Surfer shares some of his power with her and brings her back to life]].
* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler: Sue is wounded by the now cosmic-powered Doom while she is protecting the weakened Surfer. She succumbs to her wound after Doom is defeated, but with his own powers restored the Surfer quickly heals her.]]
* EldritchAbomination: Galactus (called Gah Lak Tus here) the PlanetEater who is a gigantic nebulous cloud of destruction in this adaptation.
* EnemyMine: The titular band of heroes team up with Dr. Doom to get the Silver Surfer. [[spoiler: To absolutely ''no one's'' surprise, Doom ends up betraying them.]]
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Johnny to Reed after his speech to Hager.
-->'''Sue:''' ''[to Reed]'' I am so hot for you right now...\\
'''Johnny:''' Me [[{{Pun}} too!]]
* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: When Sue is exposed nude to townspeople after all her clothes were burnt off by touching Johnny, one of the civilians smiling and eagerly taking pictures of her is a woman.
* EveryHelicopterIsAHuey: As the team are flown over the Thames in a pair of Hueys. Since the US military long since phased out the Huey and the British military ''never used them at all'', it's anyone's guess where on Earth they even got the things unless they raided an air museum.
* EveryoneLovesBlondes: Sue Richards wants to be seen.
* {{Expy}}: General Hager from was originally supposed to be ComicBook/NickFury, but this had to be changed at the last minute due to [[ExiledFromContinuity rights issues]] ([[Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox Fox]] owns film rights to the ''FF'', while [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse Marvel Studios]] has rights to Fury). It's especially obvious since one of Hager's conversations with Mr. Fantastic is taken almost word-for-word from a conversation between Mr. Fantastic and Nick Fury in ''[[ComicBook/UltimateGalactusTrilogy Ultimate Extinction]]''.
* FakeoutEscape: There's a sequence (imported from the original comics) where Sue turns invisible when government officials come to check on her, then runs out the doorway during their confusion.
* TheFatalist: Silver Surfer has become one as a result of his enslaved position to Galactus being forced to find occupied planets full of living organisms for the cosmic entity to literally consume. However, in the end Sue is able to convince him that he always had the choice to rebel against Galactus.
* FaustianRebellion: The Silver Surfer somehow has enough power to defeat Galactus with a HeroicSacrifice, even though Galactus gave him his power. [[spoiler:And TheStinger reveals he didn't even die]].
* FlamingEmblem: At the end, the team forms the "4" logo out of the exhaust from their jets with Johnny putting the finishing touches on it.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: General Hager while shooting at Dr. Doom gets parts of himself blasted away by Doom. His resultant state after he dies is hard to describe in words.
* HeroicSacrifice[=/=]DeathEqualsRedemption: The Silver Surfer defeats Galactus by flying straight into its core and discharging all the power contained in his board to implode the world-eating storm, not only destroying the maelstrom but also freeing himself from enslavement as Galactus's herald. [[spoiler:TheStinger reveals that he was not destroyed]].
* HomoeroticSubtext: After he confronts an egotistical military guy, Sue seductively tells Reed "I'm so hot for you right now." Johnny comes up behind Reed, gives him a hug, and remarks "Me too!" Reed laughs it off.
* HypocriticalHumor: Reed told Johnny to not have exotic dancers at his bachelor party, but as he saw them, he started talking to them.
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: When being chastised by Sue for serving Galactus, Silver Surfer defends that his actions which have doomed hundreds of planets filled with life to keep his master satisfied to spare his own home world.
* IWillShowYouX: When Johnny and Ben discuss Ben's sex life.
-->'''Johnny''': I've been wondering. How do you and Alicia... ''(clicks his tongue in lieu of finishing the sentence)''\\
'''Ben''': That's none of your business!\\
'''Johnny''': Okay, okay! I'm just concerned, that's all. I don't want to wake up one morning and find out she was killed in a rockslide!\\
'''Ben''': I'll show you a rockslide!
* IncrediblyLamePun: When Doom-in-the-Surfer-board whips up a tornado for the Fantastic Four.
-->'''Doom:''' Let's all go... FOR A SPIN!
* IdiotBall: General Hager. It's one thing when the military does not trust superheroes. It is ''another thing'' when that same general agrees to work with the guy who is not only ''WORSE'' than what you believe, but also took all of the Fantastic Four to defeat him in the previous film. [[SarcasmMode Nice judgement, Hager.]]
* {{Intangibility}}: Silver Surfer can do this due to his manipulation of molecules. During his introductory chase scene he phases through buildings, cars, the Human Torch, and even his own board. He can even do it to Sue's force fields.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Whilst it doesn't last long, Johnny accidentally switching powers with Ben and becoming the Thing after all the crap he puts Ben through. Ben ''clearly'' enjoyed it.
* LiterallyShatteredLives: How General Hager meets his demise, thanks to [[spoiler:Doom using the Silver Surfer's board to enhance his powers, allowing him to petrify and shatter the general]].
* LookMaNoPlane: The Human Torch flies next to the plane in which the rest of the Fantastic Four is flying, annoying the Thing. He ''doesn't fly coach!''
* MistakenForGay: There is a deleted scene where Johnny Storm was photographed by paparazzi while holding a bouquet and kneeling in front of Ben Grimm.
* MythologyGag: [[MythologyGag/FantasticFour2005 Has it's own page]].
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Prior to the trip to London, Johnny’s power-swapping is played for laughs (with him accidentally triggering it by touching Susan and then Ben deliberately stealing his powers to be temporarily reunited with his human form). However during the effort to prevent the London Eye from falling, Johnny accidentally makes contact with Reed while Reed is in the middle of holding up the wheel, causing them to swap powers at the worst possible time. Johnny becomes useless as he can’t properly use Reed’s stretching power to assist and luckily Reed is able to think quick enough to use Johnny’s flames to weld the wheel back to the base. Reed switches back after the event and is very cross with Johnny’s reckless involvement.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Had it not been for Dr. Doom throwing his spear at Silver Surfer and then Sue shielding the Surfer with herself [[TakingTheBullet taking the spear herself]], Silver Surfer would have allowed Galactus to consume the Earth and move on to find another occupied planet.
* NotHisSled: Frankie Raye in a film involving Galactus? Surely she will become his herald Nova... or not. She remains as a normal human throughout the movie.
* NotQuiteBackToNormal: [[spoiler:Doom is healed of his metallic scars on his skin after the Silver Surfer lands an energy blast on him]]. Even so, [[spoiler:his electricity powers from the first movie is retained]].
* TheNotableNumeral: 4. Written on the sky, in case you missed in [[ChestInsignia on their chests]].
* OhCrap: The 4's reaction to Victor reappearing before them in the flesh.
* PersonalArcade: A ''Hydro Thunder'' sit-down game appears in the Baxter Building, but no indication which of the team actually plays it.
* PlotHole: Why the Silver Surfer didn't just [[spoiler: make the HeroicSacrifice and kill Galactus earlier is a mystery. You could say he was too scared, but that casts him in a ''very'' bad light, as he could have saved billions of lives if he weren't such a chicken.]]* RecycledSoundtrack: "Fantastic Proposal," the music John Ottman wrote for the final scene of the first film (not counting TheStinger), is tracked into [[spoiler: the scene where Reed and Sue finally get married in Japan]] in the sequel (Ottman's original piece can be heard on the soundtrack album).
* SacrificialPlanet: After the Surfer inadvertently interrupts Richard and Sue's wedding and nearly causes a helicopter crash, Richard discovers energy signatures in the cosmos matching the Surfer that correlate to destroyed planets.
* SceneryCensor: When Susan's clothing is burnt from her body and she ends naked on the floor only the strategically placed leg of a reporter preserves her modesty.
* SerkisFolk: The Silver Surfer is made from motion capture.
* SkipToTheEnd: Played humorously in the end when Sue and Reed's marriage is interrupted yet again.
* SnowMeansCold: Subverted when the Surfer's passage causes snow to fall on the Great Sphinx outside Giza, Egypt... ''without'' a corresponding drop in temperature.
* StarringSpecialEffects: The Silver Surfer is a [=CGI=] character and a major part of the film.
* TakingTheBullet: Sue takes the spear that Doom aimed at Norrin Radd (the Surfer). Sue's act of compassion convinces Norrin to stop Galactus from devouring Earth.
* TooDumbToLive:
** The General repeatedly trusts Doom over Richards, even giving him access to study the Surfer's board. Likely due to their mutual dislike of Richards. He even has the audacity to appear ''surprised'' when Victor inevitably screws everyone over and steals the board for himself!
** Victor also qualifies. He becomes so self-absorbed with power by stealing the Surfer's Board (beacon) that even when Galactus arrives to the point you can hear it and see it in the sky, Doom is adamant to keep the board for himself. Doom was very much willing to get eaten just to play with a stolen toy for a few more minutes.
* UltimateEvil: Gah Lak Tus is a prominent presence in the film who isn't physically seen.
* WeCanRuleTogether: Doom makes this offer to the Silver Surfer. [[spoiler:It gets turned down, but at least in the following struggle Doom's body ends up restored.]]
* WeddingsInJapan: This is where Reed and Sue get married in the end.
* WeddingSmashers: The Silver Surfer arrives during Sue and Reed's wedding.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Dr. Doom falls into the ocean near the end of the sequel, and is never seen again. Did he drown? Did he make it back to shore? We don't know. Another sequel would have likely answered that question (Julian [=McMahon=] accepted a three-film deal at the time).
* WithCatlikeTread: They decide that the only way to get the Silver Surfer's board back from Dr. Doom is to use The Human Torch's new "powers" to combine all their abilities to allow him to fly, but also be as strong as The Thing, and be invisible so he can sneak up on Doom. It works perfectly and he gets to within 2 feet of Doom. But rather than just knock him out, he has to say "To quote a friend, It's clobbering time." thus blowing the cover and starting a drawn-out battle...all while the Earth is about to be destroyed. Albeit in fairness to Johnny Storm, Doom ''had'' just killed his sister.* YouRemindMeOfX: The Silver Surfer tells Sue she reminds him of the one he loves, although Shalla-Bal is not named.
-->'''Silver Surfer:''' My service spares my world, and the one I love.\\
'''Sue:''' Why did you try to protect me?\\
'''Silver Surfer:''' Because you remind me of her.
