Yes, and Eddie Brock is supposed to be huge. The whole appeal of Venom was how physically imposing he was... he is, visually, Spiderman cranked to eleven.

It's a matter of the art. The original Eddie Brock was a prolific athlete and weight lifter, and drawings of him were intentionally huge and overbearing, to invoke a sense of fear and helplessness. It looks like Topher will be more cerebral and psychotic, which would have been fine if we were talking Carnage. But we aren't.
/fanboy rant
And like I said, Venom will have a 20 minute appearance TOPS, at the tail end. I guarantee it. Between Spiderman and the symbiote, Sandman, and Harry Osbourne, the most we will see of Eddie will be him festering his rage towards Peter, the climax being a fight with Venom.

Venom is supposed to be buff. His name is Eddie Brock for Christ's sake. I was pissed to see that they didn't go crazy with the cgi and make him incredibly huge (which is what I was expecting... the only reason I didn't find Topher Grace and murder him so he couldn't do this movie). Not only that, but I would bet money that Venom will only be in this movie for 10 or 20 minutes at the tail end. It seems like they are playing off the symbiote from the 'turns Peter into an ass' angle for most of the movie.
Vemon is only huge because Eddy Brock is huge. When Parker wore the symbiote, he was just as scrawny as he is in his normal costume. And the symbiote did turn him into an asshole. What the previews have shown have been pretty true to the way the whole Peter/symbiote situation played out. Aside from how Peter got the symbiote, of course.
