Some reviews rated the film higher than its predecessor, but only slightly. And it didn't make as much money, thus making any further films unlikely. However, there are currently plans to reboot the film series.

 

Incidentally; the movie brought to light a heartbreaking [[What Could Have Been]] story behind the story; that of the [http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=4217 1992 short film featuring the Silver Surfer], which broke every rule in Hollywood's book to even ''exist'', and which was also the first film to utilize the CGI software which would later be made famous for creating the dinosaurs of ''[[Jurassic Park]]''.
