Reaction: While the numbers were a little lower than the first film, and a little below the studio's expectations, it doesn't come as a surprise given that the film came out 11 seasons after the first Silver Surfer film. That said, the film is still a hit and looks to be a good start to the studio's Marvel Universe.


"Silver Surfer moved like a strong breeze giving us all the information in quick, entertaining bursts. The sequel, Silver Silver: The Power Cosmic doesn't do this. It moves slowly and lacks the expected excitement." - Mark Gilbert, Boston Globe


"The Power Cosmic is a more intimate and ethereal adventure than the first Silver Surfer film. Some will find this shift off-putting, but I enjoyed spending more personal time with the Surfer where things were a little less focused on his origin." - Janet Donnelly, Empire Magazine


"Keanu Reeves remains the perfect choice for the Silver Surfer. His movements and voice capture the pain and confusion of the character while still feeling alien. This film definitely lacks the grand spectacle I was expecting from the action, but it still nails the smaller, character-driven moments." - Roger Taggart, Chicago Tribune

Rated PG-13 for scenes of action and peril
