 
20th Century Fox’s Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer took in an estimated $22.2 million on Friday (a per screen average of $5,746). That’s the fifth biggest opening day so far this year (and the 30th biggest of all time). The film will probably end the weekend slightly north of $60 million. Not bad for a movie with slightly bad buzz.
In other good news, Judd Apatow’s Knocked Up is still staying strong, coming in at #3 with $4.5 million. The comedy film thus far has earned over $80.4 million. Not bad for a film that has only been out for 15 days.

Is this movie any good?

Surprisingly, it’s not horrible. It’s much better than the first. But is it good? Sadly I must admit I enjoyed it.

I’ve never seen the first movie.I guess the bad reviews sent me the other direction.

If you never saw the firs tfilm, then your expectations even then are probably higher, and you probably wont enjoy it. I think the reason why a lot of fans have said the sequel is okay is because of the such low expectations left from the first film

Should I see the first one before I see this one?

See, that’s a very tricky question. You may want to see the first film to understand the origins and whats going on with the different characters BUT, if you see the first film, you may not be interested in seeing the sequel :P I’d say rent the first one and go from there…

I never saw the first one, never had the interest to. But I have a semi-decent knowledge of the Fantastic 4 to get my by. “The Rise of the Silver Surfer” was enjoyable. I was expecting a movie that would pass the time, and it wasn’t bad. It wasn’t great, and it wasn’t bad. But it was enjoyable. I could agree with other people who love or hate it. Not too many major flaws. See it if you’ve seen all the other better movies out, right now.

Batman was the first. Then it was the Hannibal Lecter’s turn (although he isn’t a superhero). Personal history is the new black when it comes to make a franchise movie.

I thought the movie was enjoyable, if there was a major flaw was
that they never showed galactus, not even a hint of him was there, how
cool would have been to show a giant guy with a wild helmet that goes
and eats a planet

Is Galuctus the Silver Surfer?

Well Silver Surfer is no. 1 this week.

What impresses me the most is to see the movie already uploaded on Veoh. As the website is widgeting its video base, most people (those targeted by this kind of movie) will all see it by this weekend. Would this threaten the movie income?
