I love the Silver Surfer.  I hated the first Fantastic Four.  So you can guess my feelings about putting one of Marvel Comics most complex heroes in the hands of the people who couldn’t get Dr. Doom right.  When the Surfer (Doug Jones/Laurence Fishburne) comes to earth the FF try to prevent him from preparing the planet for destruction.  Here’s a HD trailer if you prefer, and check out the MySpace page.  The studio is screening the film mere hours before it opens (not a good sign) so check back early Friday morning and we’ll tell you how craptastic this sequel actually is.
