The surfer was always my favorite Marvel character. But what gives with the surfer phasing through matter? I do not remember that in the comics. I am concerned that someone remembered the liquid metal terminator and decided to make the surfer the same way. I will be very disappointed if the surfer turns out to be a liquid metal terminator-type. That would not be true to the character.

Come on. You have to admit that was kind of cool.
It would also help him maintain straight flight patterns through space since he doesn’t have to fly around planets and flying rock…for the nerds.

They are being true…
The Silver Surfer wields “the power cosmic,” absorbing and manipulating the universe’s ambient cosmic energies. He can augment his strength to incalculable levels, and is almost totally indestructible. He can navigate space, hyperspace and dimensional barriers, and can fly at near-limitless speeds on his board, entering hyperspace when he exceeds light speed. He has even proven capable of time travel on occasion. The Surfer does not require food, drink, air or sleep, sustained entirely by converting matter into energy. He is immune to temperature extremes and most radiation, and can survive in vacuum environments such as outer space and hyperspace. He can analyze and manipulate matter and energy, and restructure or animate matter at will, even transmuting elements. He can heal living beings (though he cannot raise the dead), and has proven capable of revitalizing or evolving organic life on a planet wide scale. He can alter the size of himself or of other matter, cast illusions, fire energy blasts, form and manipulate energy constructs, manipulate gravity, absorb and discharge most forms of energy, and phase through solid matter. His senses enable him to detect objects and energies light years away, and to perceive matter and energy in subatomic detail; he can even see through time, and with concentration can achieve limited perception of past and future events in his general vicinity. The Surfer has demonstrated limited telepathic ability on occasion, and has proven able to influence human emotion and sensation.

oooohhhh…is that from the annihilation saga? At least, I think that was what it was called.

My main gripe with the first one was how they did Dr.Doom’s powers…He was easy to do, just give him the damn armoured suit! Plus it could have had a few other fixes.
Surfer was one of my favourite characters. Interesting here how we have him phasing through everything. Guess I’m okay with that.
I do like the part where he grabs Johnny by the throat. “Bitch for real, I’m Surfer!”
Hope they keep it true to the comic where SS is stronger than the thing.
As for Glactus, that could prove difficult. Perhaps if they tweak his costume slightly and keep the scences with him short? Or leave much to the imagination ie: only show parts of him?
Wonder what they are going to do with Doom in this one? Please fix. At least the actor playing him was good.
I know Marvel was going after having their own production company. Where they stated that they will do the movies the way they want instead of what some studio exec. wants.
The Dr. Doom from the movie was based on the ultimate Dr. Doom, so techinicall it was accurate to the comics, just not the old ones.
As for the movie, I will see it just because I love the surfer, but I really hope they don’t screw up.

Ah thanks. See with all this Ultimate series stuff I’m left in the dark. I guess when they do an Avenger’s movie and Thor has a spatula I won’t question it. 
Anyways I like the orignal doom better.
As for the phasing through matter. I kind of remembered him doing that in the comics. However, I didn’t think it was that easy for him. Oh well.

I felt dirty after watching the first movie (in a bad way), but this trailer looks decent.
Hopefully SS is a little more badass than melancholy and pious. If I hear him whining about Zenn-la, even Alba won’t be able to keep me watching.
Also, I’m glad to see that big G makes an appearance!
I can’t even put a finger on what exactly went wrong with the first one. I think it was too childish in the way they presented the characters…but then, I guess it was also aimed at children…but most little kids wouldn’t even know the Fantastic Four. It wasn’t even that the idea completely sucked or that they raped the characters. It was like it was flat and incomplete.
How the hell can they show Gah-lak-tus without making it look lame?
I know what you mean prof but I think one of the ways they can pull it off is show him destroying a populated planet. I believe if they show the destruction in a very detailed manner when he’s introduced that would be good for starters

I agree, and show SS looking on…Or they could go back to just before the start of the universe…ah nevermind. 
i think what sucked about the first movie was they had this huge build up introducing all the charactors and there abilities that when the plot finally climaxed at the end with dr doom fighting them it was really short, i mean he went down in like 5 minutes. all the build up led to a shitty end fight. but thats just me.

Nerd alert:
Some of the Ultimate series I like (like Iron Man, The Avengers, and some X-Men). I hate what they did with Ultimate Fantastic Four (except for the union with Supreme Power which might make me like them). They started the FF back as teenagers with Reed being 18-19 years old. The Invisible Girl comes across as more of the leader which is fine, but their ages suck considering how it changes the story.
I can understand getting teens back into it, but I don’t get why so many of these characters have to suddenly become teens themselves.
One thing I do have to give credit for is the art work and detail on these comics lately. I was never into buying them growing up, but the increase in true “art” and realism has gotten me into it.

For those that want to take the nerdiness one step further, I suggest reading the book The Physics of Superheroes. It’s an entertaining read that delves into the superheroes and science.
For example, it discusses just how fast Superman’s initial velocity must be for him to “leap tall buildings in a single bound” (before he could actually just fly at will). Or how much food the Flash must consume to have the energy to run such high speeds.

That is a cool book. There is also a bit on proportional strength for characters that grow or shrink that is very interesting.

So what are his weaknesses then? Or is he just a Superman type god character?

I guess it’s totally superfluous for a good Surfer/Galactus origin, but I’ll miss Uatu.
I think what might happen is it will be a two parter with Surer showing up first and then Galactus landing in his big ship and emerging and a to be continued
Doing my usual thing…The trailer on YouTube:
Looks very good; really looking forward to it.
Not a bad trailer, was looking forward to seeing the 2nd Hulk, but sounds like they are totally changing everything, and Eric Bana won’t even be doing Bruce Banner.

They needed to change everything. While I respect the comic book styling of the first one, the action was almost non-existant and he really was too cartoonish in appearance. I think that could have been fixed if they didn’t insist on putting him in the same torn purple pants as he was often seen in the comics…regardless of what pants Banner was wearing before the change. His face also screwed it up by looking too innocent at times.
