Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer - Amy Biancolli at the Houston Chronicle:

"When Stan Lee (who makes a darling cameo) and Jack Kirby first conceived them in 1961, they were a new thing: a squabbling superhero collective that didn't shrink from the masses incognito. From the start they were goofballs, but they were our goofballs. And so they remain."

Better than the first movie but is an also ran among the super hero franchises.
