Movies that feel likeFantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)

The Fantastic Four return to the big screen as a new and all powerful enemy threatens the Earth. The seemingly unstoppable 'Silver Surfer', but all is not what it seems and there are old and new enemies that pose a greater threat than the intrepid superheroes realize.

If you loved Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, the closest films we have are Superman Returns (2006), The Wolverine (2013) and X2 (2003). All three share Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer's cerebral and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
