They should flex like crazy. The engines really are that big. It's similar to what you see on the 777. Very high bypass turbofans = more fuel efficiency.

Was hoping for more upward flare in the wings, but perhaps we'll see this when the airplane is in flight. Also, could the fact that the engines seem gigantic be attributable to their being covered by stand-out red plastic, or is the engine:fuselage size ratio actually greater than that of other models?
