I hate to say it, but a giant guy in a purple rave outfit probably just seems like too tough of a sell to the non-comic reading masses out there. I'm guessing that his appearance will pretty much be a Cliff hanger ending, so chances are all you will see is a giant storm cloud decending on the city, without it being clear if he IS the cloud, or if the cloud is just generated by his arrival. After all, the focus seems to be on the Silver Surfer, not his master ("Rise of the Silver Surfer" being the title and all)
If that's the case, I wouldn't be surprised if they take the opportunity to retcon the cloud and just have Galactus's ship descend from it at the start of the third movie. Whether or not he would then be portrayed as the more classic image would depend on how brave they are feeling (come on, he is kinda goofy!)
I don't think it's the end of the world. I thought the Silver Surfer looked pretty good, and when you sit down and think about it he is a pretty absurd character design, must have been pretty tempting to non-comic executives to screw around with his look. That being said, of course I would LOVE it if they put proper Galactus in, preferably complete with little purple mini-skirt!
EDIT: Bugger, just realised GoldenYak beat me to it
This Galactus announcement just seems.... bizarre. My already low expectations for the movie are further lowered.
It's weird. The studio doesn't seem to know what they're doing with the movie, and are just making it up as they go along. Surely they could have got someone with some sort of unifying creative vision?
Ah well. Just more fodder for the 'bad superhero films' pile, I guess.

That green hair looks like the makeup artist went to Kmart during Halloween and stocked up on that cheapo green hairspray that lasts all of 20 minutes.
I don't really care, I probably won't even see this movie.
I'm just sayin'.
Kmart.

after posting that i realized i live two blocks away from an elementary school
In LA, almost everyone lives 2 blocks from an elementary school. It's some kind of messed up law of city planning that if you live in an apt., you live near a school.
Not that I'm bitter or anything.

I have a boner for Ant-Man and from what I hear I should have a boner for Scott Pilgrim too.
It's the Pym Ant-Man. I'm not a big fan of Pym, but I'm totally a fan of Edgar Wright, which means I'll totally end up beating off to Pym in the near future.
As far as Scott Pilgrim goes, calling it amazing is an understatement that will get you knifed in the unmentionables, you know....
I DO think he would look great if they did it like Ultimate Alliance. But if he IS a cloud (and remember its only some guy who put less then a full paragraph on a web page...) lets look at how scary clouds can be:
I'm of the school of thought that this cloud business will be one of the effects Galactus arriving rather than his actual appearance.
Does anyone else feel Marvel would benifit from making thier animated films in the CG style used for the cut scenes in MUA? I know it would be much more expensive to do than the current traditional style of animation being done now but how cool would the Hulk/Thor throw down in Ultimate Avengers looked in CG.

Storm Clouds can look scary as shit.

And he was ripped. and black.
At the Los Angeles press junket today, Spider-Man 3 director Sam Raimi confirmed that Sony Pictures is doing a 4th, 5th and 6th installment of the popular franchise.

Oh?
But... but Kirsten Dunst (this generations Kristy Ally sans acting ability) said that it would be disrespectful to continue the franchise without her... how could they do this to her?

there was a story posted at DIGG saying that Spidey3 cost about a 1/2 billion to make.
Whether or not the story is true, I wonder if they realize that, for that amount of money, they could make every American a millionaire and have money left over for side projects like feeding the hungry kids with distended abdomens in Africa. (I'm not that altruistic, give me the surplus!)

Really, there are only 500 Americans?
Yes, I agree that film funding is ridiculous, but that's a bit of an over exaggeration.
This reminds me of one bit I saw on the special box set of The Matrix Reloaded where they gave all the materials used for building that 1.4 mile road to Mexico to be used for housing.

1/2 billion is $500 million. There are roughly 300 million Americans. If they gave every person in America $1 million dollars, then there would be 300 million- millionaires.
What part of that logic didn't you understand? 500 Americans...I might be really really really bad at math, but wtf.

WE'RE not enough.
There won't be sunday.
But it's completely plausible.
You're shitting all over it like they changed ANYTHING about the character.
It ruins all the picnics.

Sunday will still be there, but I guess the cold hard vacuum of space where Earth used to be will be a little chillier than 48 degrees.

What 's all this about not having decided whether Galactus will speak? Surely one requires the odd "I HUNGER"?

It was a good one
But Silver Surfer is gonna fucking rock

I see green hair, I see red lips, I see somewhat pasty skin.
Yay?
why didn't this person have a high definition digital camera with a telescopic lens with them
Weren't you arrested with those in Darwyn Cooke's neighborhood?
I don't really care, I probably won't even see this movie.

i mean, seriously

I must admit.
That's a good start.

God yes, talk about a huge letdown. All that build up...it was like an hour long massage without a happy ending.
