Every Non-MCU Marvel Movie RANKED From Worst To Best

26. Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer

There is a lot of discourse that suggests Rise of the Silver Surfer is the best Fantastic Four movie, as it takes itself a bit more seriously than its 2005 precursor. Looking back on it, this is actually one of its biggest flaws.

The movie is a bit all over the place tonally, as it doesn't quite get the balancing act of serious drama and campy fun right. On the one hand, the silver surfboard is really neat and leads to some genuinely thrilling chases. On the other hand, Galactus is a giant space fart.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine's Andre Braugher also plays a major role in the movie, basically giving us a less fun version of Raymond Holt. His bizarrely graphic death scene is worth a watch on its own.
