Lame. The whole charm of Galactus is that he's a giant wearing purple armor.

Look, you can just see the sadness in his eyes now that he's not in the movie. :(

Umm that looks 100000000000000000000000000x better than I expected Galactus to look.

Hopefully in the FF3, they will show Galactus.
 
This makes me a little bit sad.

I mean, once you get into the Silver Surfer, you're already about three feet deep in ridiculous shit. It's not like FF2 is going to win Best Picture or anything. Just embrace the shit. Dive right in. At least we might get something cool out of it.

You know, when the trailers for the first F4 movie came out, I was like "Yes! Finally the comic book movie that will be crappy enough to flop terribly on it's face and end this dumb gold mine of nostalgia that Hollywood has been mining!" Of course, it was terrible and people still went to see it.

Hey nerds, meet me at paragraph three.

Hey, how's it going. Look, I know that a lot of you are still suffering psychologically from when the gooch at school would give you a wedgie and tell you that you were lame, and how no girls would talk to you because you were hideos. Hell, some of you are probably experiencing it today. I know, because I was a nerd. Was. I, like, evolved or something. Moved on, got over my nerddom and found new interests in life. Those interests include quality cinema, something that you're RUINING with your disposable nerd income by supporting bad movies like Spider-Man, Superman Returns and V for Vendetta, or outright terrible movies like X3, F4 and Ghost Rider. I mean, fuuuuck. Ghost Rider? Come on now.

So here's the deal. Stop seeing movies. Go back to just reading comic books. You're ****ing shit up.

Shattup, we are tired of movies involving in overpaid and self important actors rambling on and on about pointless crap. Go back to wanking to 8 1/2, ripoffs of Infernal Affairs, bastardized Mamet, and Tarintinoesque dialog movies without the nerdy charm. Let us watch shit being blown up on a large screen. Did you go out to see Grindhouse but too chickenshit to admit it is a homage to B-grade movies that were inspired by pulp stories; similar to the story telling aspects of comics that you now despise?
Seriously, I would love to see a Planet Terror sequel comic if RR doesn't want to go back to film the world of Planet Terror.

Seriously, Marvel needs to dump Fox after the Wolverine spinoff and switch their major franchises over to giant robot/CG friendly movie studios. Columbia could use some extra movie franchises. Realizing the cloudy Galactus made me save about $7 and lost interest in a Fantastic Four sequel.
 
My interest in seeing this movie has went to zero. He didn't necessarily have to be bright purple or anything. Look at that pic of Ultimate Alliance, that is ****ing creepy. That is what I wanted. This storm cloud looking shit is lame. Hell, I'd take the Ultimate Marvel version of him (Gah Lak Tus) over this crap.
 
Maybe they were afraid he'd look too similar to the king of all cosmos from katamari? I was really looking forward to seeing what galactus would look like. He looks great in the UA cgi.

Fantastic Four is raped from every conceivable angle anyway. Who cares. It sucks.

No no, see I loved Grindhouse. It was GOOD. The vast majority of comic book movies are BAD, but they succeed because nerds have no taste or standards. It's just "omg it's so and so! i loved that comic! let me give hollywood my money regardless of quality!" I would love to see more GOOD comic book movies, but it's just too damn easy to throw shit out there and you nerds lap it up.

Good comic book movies: Batman Begins and X2. That's about it. Ok, and Sin City too.

This never seemed like a good idea in the first place - it still has Julian McMahon, and it's still directed by Tim Story. That's a fail there already.

But really, as long as Avi Arad is in charge of this kind of thing, Marvel movies are going to be entirely below average for the foreseeable future. With the possible exception of Iron Man, I guess.

You missed the real news that they haven't even decided whether Galactus will speak yet. So this along with Transformers become the latest shitty committee-run movies patched together in fits and pieces without anything resembling a cohesive script.

I mean, whether he ends up speaking or not, the scene's obviously going to be pointless. If it can go either way... anything he could have said is either unimportant or redundant.
 
Sure..

You can have a man made of rock..

A fine as hell chick married to the biggest 40yr old virgin type and she can become invisible..

Have aman that can stretch like gum..

Some punk who can yell out flame on and instantly becomes a ball of flying fire..

Some metaloid being riding a surf board..


But having the devourer of planets in a humanoid shape is crazy and not realistic enough for the mass audiences?

These decisions don't make sense. What's next? The Watcher is going to be some African Shaman or some shit? The Ultimate Nullifier is going to not be in the movie? Is there a final script online to read?

Dude, Variety says they haven't decided whether Galactus will speak or not. THERE IS NO FINAL SCRIPT. Anyone holding out hope for this should just quit.
 
Galactus is a giant man in a purple suit. How could it possibly look any good on screen? And don't give me that Ultimate Alliance shot because you know its CGI and you accept it as such, a fake looking human (he might as well be) in a giant suit doesn't look so good against real live actors. Unless of course you want a real actor against a green screen...

Anyway, did it occur to anyone that perhaps Galactus is at the centre and not the actual storm?
 
I hate these damn movies that are automatically set up for a third film. I mean, I know comic book movies can go on forever. But why have a movie where you only TEASE a villian for another movie? So those of us who watched it and enjoyed it have a MINIMUM two year wait to see the storyline continue. Or, in the case of The Punisher, 3 years and counting. Set a movie up and contain it, don't have any teasers for a sequel because you don't know if the movie will succeed or not.
 
They should ask Michael Bay to give them advice on what to do about Galactus talking, he is the talking giant robot specialist after all.

I keep getting pretty darn impressed by the cutscenes in Ultimate Alliance (I believe Blur Studios was responsible for those awesome CG) and the scene with a roaming Galactus magnificently towering over a wrecked city is by far the most convincing. And they actually managed to inject a lil bit of a personality in his facial features. Made me yearn for an FF movie with that version of Galactus in it but alas, the dream has been ruined.

Pssst. Your artsy fartsy movies? Nerdy.

But I agree, comic book shit fails. Comic book shit as movie, FAILS.

Yeah, we should just watch anime instead because it's so deep and thought inspiring.

but i can be a "nerd" get the women and have fun. i'm a winner and i hold my liquor.
 
Pfft, forget CGI, Batista could have been a great Galactus.

Just put purple body paint all over him, and create a miniature set of a city.

Mh. Not too bad, I think.

Reed: "Oh hey, it's Galactus, he's coming"
Earth: *gets dark*
Clouds: *swirl because something's nearing earth*
Ben: "ONOES Surfer we love this planet like you did yours in THAT TIME!"
Susan: *cries*
Surfer: "Oh well f**k it. Stop it Galactus, I've seen .. um .. a.. bigger.. planet. Yes"
Clouds: *swirlswirl* *vanish*
Reed: "Yay planet saved"
Audience: "lolwtf"
Movie: *ends*

It is pretty obvious whats going on with that cloud description imo.
 
after paying for the surfer they probably dont have the money for galactus, not even if he's in it for minimal screen time. Then theres his ship etc etc...unfortunately reed richards probably wont have a ultimate nullifier now.

:lol Wow, that actually works pretty damn well. Personally, I'm glad they went with the big cloud, since I doubt they could've made it work with some giant guy walking around. The UA shots are awesome though.

if surfer gets his own movie then maybe thanos dont know if surfers getting his own movie though, if xmen ever gets another movie...he is one of the many uber villans still waiting in the wings.
 
i would rather no galactus ..than a shitty one...just show his ship and let us hear his voice and call it a day.

storm clouds will suck hard...even harder than the horrible ultimate ga-lak-tus(god was it lame)

How the hell does Galactus eat planets anyway?

Does he put on a bit and use a knife and fork?

I assume you don't know much about the character. He drains the energy out of the planets using his ship. He feeds off the energy. He doesn't take a bite out of the planet.

Do they have to explain every damn thing that happens? Who wrote that? Chris Claremont?
