Welcome back for another edition of A Second Look with Jeff Stockton! In this segment I will take a "second look" at a past LRF release with a fresh set of eyes.
With a sequel to Mark Newton's The Fantastic Four due out this round, it felt like an appropriate time to take A Second Look at the film that began it all, Silver Surfer. The film was released all the way back in Season 3 and has been retconned in as the official start of the studio's connected Marvel Universe. The film was a huge hit at the box office and was the highest grossing film in the Marvel Universe until Spider-Man came out in Season 19.
Looking at Silver Surfer now, Keanu Reeves remains an excellent choice for the role being completely believable in the early scenes and after becoming the Surfer. The film definitely moves a bit too fast though. With how important the Surfer's search for his home world has become, it would have been nice to spend more time there. A suppose if a film's biggest issue is that it moves to quickly, it isn't that bad.
