The surfer shall rise

The teaser trailer for Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer has just hit online, courtesy of Apple Trailers. Sadly, it hasn't been YouTubed yet, so you'll just have to follow the link the old fashioned way.

I wasn't a big fan of the original Fantastic 4 movie. I thought it managed to capture the light heartedness of the comic, and managed to keep a sense of fun, but the plot was full of wholes, and in a nutshell, it wasn't great.

But this teaser... wow. It does something different - it simply shows a scene from the movie, and leaves you wanting more. The effects with the Surfer are nice, and the scene itself is fast and frenetic.

Everyone seems to be waiting for word of Galactus, and no, he doesn't show up in the teaser. Just his herald, the Silver Surfer. Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if there's no Galactus in the movie, or if he just rocks up in the end, with cinema's current obsession with trilogies.

The teaser doesn't do anything to show that Rise of the Silver Surfer will be a better film than the original, but it does manage to build up the hype nicely. Far better than the footage for Spider-Man 3's managed to do thus far.
