Personally, I am not a fan of the glowing lines in his costume.
Jul 15th 2010

I knew they were gonna find away to make him look bad
Jul 15th 2010
5

Jul 15th 2010

He looks like Will Ferrell

lol @ the stubble.
Jul 15th 2010

I'm not judging. These stills ALWAYS look ridiculous.
Jul 15th 2010
11
yeah.
Jul 15th 2010
12
Yep. They always look really dumb.
Jul 18th 2010
19
Looks cool and I'm glad that...
Jul 16th 2010
13
I dig it.
Jul 17th 2010
15
i like how the suit is like... part of him like it's sprayed on instead ...
Jul 18th 2010
16
saw it a few days ago on the DC Message Boards
Jul 18th 2010
17
looks like green lantern in tron
Jul 18th 2010

DC sucks
Jul 19th 2010

Aug 11th 2010
21
that picture of RR does not look very good to me.
Aug 11th 2010
22
I can't be the only one who sees it.
Aug 11th 2010
23
wat.
Aug 11th 2010
24
Man this shit looks awful
Sep 22nd 2010
27
ryan reynolds is bout to blow uppppppppppppppppppppppppp
Sep 22nd 2010
25
he looks too much like Deadpool.
Sep 22nd 2010
26
uh oh. here's some footage
Nov 13th 2010
28
looks on level with fantastic four cornyness
Nov 13th 2010
29
those were my exact words when i saw it....
Nov 13th 2010
30
yes, that's exactly it
Nov 13th 2010
32
Other than the slightly gaudy hue of the costume
Nov 13th 2010
33
      RE: Other than the slightly gaudy hue of the costume
Nov 13th 2010
35
      yeah, same here, i'm just wishng there was a different lead.
Nov 13th 2010
36
GOOD!
Nov 13th 2010
31
Outside of Batman, DC can't seem to get it right.
Nov 13th 2010
34
The best bet is a Justice League movie, if done right.
Nov 13th 2010
37
      RE: The best bet is a Justice League movie, if done right.
Nov 13th 2010
40
           Iffy. I hope they get the respect they deserve. If they do, maybe
Nov 21st 2010
57
Is he Kyle Rayner or Hal Jordan?
Nov 13th 2010
38
Jordan
Nov 19th 2010
53
I think the hokey look-I'm-a-superhero scene kinda tainted the rest.
Nov 13th 2010
39
formula for a successful superhero movie
Nov 13th 2010
41
Official trailer actually looks not horrible.
Nov 16th 2010
42
Big improvement... But Blake Lively's acting?
Nov 16th 2010
43
As an actress, she has some nice breasts
Nov 17th 2010
46
uhhh..i don't know, looked pretty bad to me
Nov 16th 2010
44
errr...
Nov 17th 2010
45
smh
Nov 17th 2010
47
'tis a bit cheesy.
Nov 17th 2010
48
looks way better than that ET commercial made it seem...
Nov 18th 2010
49
damn i'm actually more geeked for thor
Nov 19th 2010
50
you guys realize the story is sort of stupid right?
Nov 19th 2010
51
i wouldn't say stupid, just very sci-fi rooted
Nov 19th 2010
52
DC made a great animated movie out of it...
Nov 21st 2010
58
For most of us, both are equally likely to happen
Nov 22nd 2010
69
:/ *waves hand*
Nov 19th 2010
54
pretty under-whelming imo...some of those lines were just bad
Nov 19th 2010
55
ryan reynolds is bout to NOT blow uppppppppppppppppppppp
Nov 20th 2010
56
i.... can fux with that actually...
Nov 21st 2010
61
the fake trailer is like a million times better
Nov 21st 2010
59
One MILLION percent cosign.
Nov 21st 2010
63
wow
Nov 22nd 2010
64
^^^Non-fiction. And Nathan Fillion>>>>>>>>>>>Ryan Reyonlds too.
Nov 22nd 2010
65
Y'all have got to be kidding
Nov 22nd 2010
68
      A couple of movies were spliced together
Nov 23rd 2010
71
      they took scenes from real movies (ie Star Trek, Iron Man)
Apr 04th 2011
92
!00 % Ratass!!!...lol
Nov 21st 2010
60
Why don't directors of superhero movies understand
Nov 21st 2010
62
There's a difference between camp and levity
Nov 22nd 2010
66
man ya'll are REALLY goin hard off a two minute trailer
Nov 22nd 2010
67
fuck that, Kick Ass was campy and the shit was brilliant
Nov 22nd 2010
70
RE: First Look at Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern
Nov 28th 2010
72
The tone is MUCH better, the effects only marginally so
Apr 04th 2011
83
WonderCon footage (*LINK*)
Apr 02nd 2011
73
still looks janky to me
Apr 02nd 2011
74
Looks better then I expected, but I think RR should be Wally West
Apr 02nd 2011
75
      wow, good casting call. He'd be a PERFECT Flash.
Apr 04th 2011
82
      Co'sign.... i hadnt thought of how perfect that would be
Apr 04th 2011
88
whoa. i'm completely geeked now.
Apr 03rd 2011
76
see, i can't put faith in a good edit job
Apr 03rd 2011
79
Liking the epic feel
Apr 03rd 2011
77
The oath makes me cringe and cringe again. Other than that, looks good.
Apr 03rd 2011
78
RR looks like he's walking around in a cartoon
Apr 03rd 2011
80
yeah, that trailer looks even worse to me.
Apr 03rd 2011
81
i hate how filmakers like to use CG characters
Apr 04th 2011
84
Better in terms of scale/tone, but the effects look rough.
Apr 04th 2011
85
better editing
Apr 04th 2011
86
Better but still not sold. All the CB flicks this year look meager.
Apr 04th 2011
87
not even the new xmen
Apr 04th 2011
93
      Forgot about that one. That looks the best out of the bunch.
Apr 05th 2011
95
There was a time when the thought of a GL movie did nothing for me
Apr 04th 2011
89
on second viewing
Apr 04th 2011
94
is there ANY cgi anybody likes?
Apr 04th 2011
90
I want CGI that effectively transports me to another place.
Apr 05th 2011
96
      I have a buddy that has a theory....
Apr 05th 2011
97
      couldn't have said it better
Apr 05th 2011
98
Looks way better than the first one
Apr 04th 2011
91
The newest trailer is the first one to make me excited to see it (link)
May 04th 2011
99
I agree
May 05th 2011
100
still does not look good to me at all
May 06th 2011
101
seriously, these trailers are not helping this movie
May 26th 2011
102
that helped
May 26th 2011
103
this looks like a big bloated piece of shit
May 26th 2011
104
      that's what i'm saying man
May 26th 2011
105
Reviews are mostly rough so far (no links/no message).
Jun 15th 2011
106
Yeah, this one sums up my fears pretty well:
Jun 15th 2011
107
      That's pretty difficult to stomach
Jun 15th 2011
109
all these years later, he's still VanWilder
Jun 15th 2011
108
^^^^truth
Jun 15th 2011
110
      I haven't seen his indie work but that's supposed to be different
Jun 15th 2011
111
           He's pretty good in Buried but that movie is boo boo
Jun 15th 2011
112
*wishes this was about Kyle Rayner*
Jun 15th 2011
113
i commend some of you for having faith
Jun 15th 2011
114
still holding out for hope.
Jun 16th 2011
116
I wish dude's eyes were solid white with the mask on.
Jun 16th 2011
115
I would gladly have accepted no mask at all.
Jun 16th 2011
117
TWENTY PERCENT?? TWEN-TY PER-CENT?!?
Jun 16th 2011
118
just dawned on me: this should have been will smith as john stewart
Jun 16th 2011
119
Can you imagine????
Jun 17th 2011
122
no. If you have to use an alternate Lantern, use Kyle Rayner.
Jun 24th 2011
167
Saw it this morning...
Jun 16th 2011
120
LOL, I can tell how you feel by the URL alone
Jun 17th 2011
121
Damn, MovieBob goes in
Jun 17th 2011
123
going to see the Woody Allen movie instead....lol
Jun 17th 2011
124
this is wack juice
Jun 17th 2011
125
you still had hope after seeing the trailers?
Jun 17th 2011
126
      actually I did...
Jun 17th 2011
128
where to begin? there is no saving grace for this. spoilers.
Jun 17th 2011
127
dude the cgi has looked terrible in every trailer
Jun 18th 2011
129
the characters all looked good to me. it was everything else.
Jun 18th 2011
132
      it looked like cheap blue screen done on late night tv shows
Jun 20th 2011
162
thanks for confirming what i guessed the film
Jun 18th 2011
131
It's MIGHTY presumptuous of them to "save" Sinestro for #2.
Jun 18th 2011
135
      this needs the hulk treatment. bring in will smith as john stewart
Jun 18th 2011
136
      I liked the cast (except for Lively) just fine.
Jun 19th 2011
139
      and his friend's reaction???
Jun 19th 2011
145
Well, despite almost falling asleep...
Jun 18th 2011
130
I did fall asleep
Jun 18th 2011
133
      Ha!
Jun 19th 2011
143
It's not great... but it's not godawful either.
Jun 18th 2011
134
agreed on most of this.
Jun 18th 2011
137
RE: It's not great... but it's not godawful either.
Jun 19th 2011
146
That might be the worst part of the film, honestly.
Jun 19th 2011
147
      "OMG his jacket!"
Jun 19th 2011
148
      yeah, there's a six issue arc / trade paperback with that story
Jun 20th 2011
152
I agree but I never noticed the cgi problems...
Jun 20th 2011
156
it was...ok
Jun 19th 2011
138
biggest problem? needed to decide if it was about Hal or the Corps
Jun 19th 2011
140
they really squandered a chance to make a good one
Jun 19th 2011
141
the thing about the comic resurgence is that it focused on space
Jun 19th 2011
142
      exactly, plus there's no Ryan Reynolds laugh in the comics
Jun 19th 2011
144
marvel has some stinkers but they are shitting on DC
Jun 19th 2011
149
well hopefully they wont fuck up deadpool this way
Jun 19th 2011
150
they probably will
Jun 19th 2011
151
      First Class only did 55 mil
Jun 20th 2011
153
           yeah, x-men had good word-of-mouth for the most part
Jun 20th 2011
155
           First Class had a MUCH lower budget.
Jun 20th 2011
158
                yup
Jun 20th 2011
159
                Also, 45% of GL's box office take was from 3D ticket sales
Jun 20th 2011
161
RE: Green Lantern (Campbell, 2011)
Jun 20th 2011
154
Haha, I did too. Especially on the slow motion leanback look to the sky
Jun 20th 2011
160
Not as bad as I thought it would be
Jun 20th 2011
157
^^^
Jun 21st 2011
164
Better than Wolverine, but not better than Thor or X Men First Class.
Jun 20th 2011
163
more dumb fun than Thor
Jun 21st 2011
165
LOVED IT
Jun 23rd 2011
166
Man, this movie was fun
Jun 24th 2011
168
Dropped 72% this weekend.
Jun 25th 2011
169
And yet despite that we are still getting a sequel...
Jun 26th 2011
170
      RE: And yet despite that we are still getting a sequel...
Jun 26th 2011
171
Is this worth seeing for free?
Jun 30th 2011
172
not if there's something better to do at the time, like jerk off.
Jun 30th 2011
173
eh...i liked it...
Jul 24th 2011
174
Shit was terrible. I coulda pulled a better GL movie out of my ass.
Nov 27th 2011
175
I agree with everything yu said, but...
Nov 27th 2011
176
      The scene itself wasn't bad, just not set up well
Nov 27th 2011
177
      it's nothing more than fan service, and weak fan service at that.
Nov 27th 2011

I'll reserve final judgement until we see what it looks like on film and not in glossy press pics for EW.

I wonder how final this look is, too. I could have sworn I've seen the ring design already, and it looked nothing like that. Hmm

DC is making films for other heroes besdies Batman and Superman.
I think this film has great potential and hopefully most of the film take place in on Green Lantern Corp planet instead of just Earth.

On The Lookout 4:
some new music. WTF is going on this year?

no...GL isnt Batman so i never expected it to be anything like that but i didnt expect it to be so wacky. i mean the DC animated GL movie wasn't this cartoony...and its a cartoon. anyway, its too early to all out condem it but i'm disappointed in what im seeing so far.

They don't have an... excess of "popular" characters. (edit: Does any company?)

Hmm... What if they split the Justice League movie into like two parts that were released at the same time, with the option to watch them back-to-back?

So many characters to develop.

like the source material is hella nerdy, ESPECIALLY the origin story.
I mean it's clear they're aiming for the tone of Iron Man, which was phenomenal. The difference is escaping from the Taliban is something we can all make a lot more sense of than inheriting the powers of an alien who crash lands in the desert, forcing you to join an intergalactic peace force.

well the iron man suit itself is far more plausible and thus easier to relate to, so i agree. gl is much more of a space opera in the line of star wars with a deep mythology.

which, if done properly could have easily made a good feature film so it wasnt totally out of the question that it might be good...but yeah, its kinda out there. not as grounded in reality as a lot of these superhero movies have been lately although i dont think thats a bad thing. they just shouldnt try to model it after those since its way more supernatural.

I mean it looks almost as well executed as Iron Man or first Spiderman movie.. which would pretty much be good enough for me. Maybe not a complete master piece, but it won't be a Superman Returns or X3.

As impressive a fan trailer as it was, that shit still looks ridiculous by real movie standards. It barely passes by SyFy movie standards.

In response to Reply # 68


          

to make it but if u say the original trailers better then u smokin. Like somebody said they clearly followin ironman's lead. Gl should have a more serious tone is my point besides he is one of DC's flagship characters they gotta come hard with this. I guess i will try not to pass judgement till i see the movie but the real trailer reminded me of meteor man.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Why don't directors of superhero movies understand...you can't go campy.

By the shear nature of it being a movie based on a comic, there's some built in camp. So... you need to treat the subject matter very seriously. If you attempt to inject one drop of camp the campy meter shoots up x 100.

I hope this doesn't suck, because my kid wants to see it and I'd rather not have to sit through some bullshit..

In response to Reply # 62


  

          

The Hal Jordan in this trailer is kind of going that RDJR Tony Stark route, and I don't think anyone could accuse Iron Man of not working. Green Lantern has FUN powers. It's okay to show him enjoying the perks. His whole power is light based, so you can't go the Batman skulking in the shadows route. I do hope the actual story/conflict will have some weight to it, but so far I like what I'm seeing.

In response to Reply # 62


  

          

I'm sick of every super hero director thinking the shit needs to be "serious" or "dark" just because Dark Knight did it and made $$$.

it's superheroes, with capes and tights and sci-fi powers and shit, and depending on the franchise it SHOULD be fun, sexy, and stylized. Green Lantern is definitely a franchise that would suck if it went all serious and grim. it's about color and fun and outer space. go overrate another Chris Nolan flick if none of that sounds cool to you.

The CGI looks pretty bad. The movements don't loom fluid and it's hard to take RR seriously when we're supposed to. They should have gone for a Nathan Fillion-type since he's too old.

96. "I want CGI that effectively transports me to another place."
In response to Reply # 90


  

          

If the storytelling and the characters are really fleshed out, and the interaction with the animation is spot-on, then some *okay* CGI can seem really good (District 9). CGI has to be something I'm not thinking about during the scene.

I bet if I was solely looking at effects, Battle: Los Angeles would have better effects than District 9. But the interaction with the effects, the execution of the effects, and their incorporation into the story was soooooo much better in District 9 that I felt the effects were *worse* in the movie with the bigger budget and broader scale.

It's hard to judge while I'm watching a trailer if the CGI will work or not. But that scene where he's in the suit interacting with someone else on Oa... it looks like something on Cartoon Network. That scene's success (and the movie's) will depend solely on how well they've built the character and how well the story has been executed up to that point.

these previews make this movie look like total shit, which i'm sure the movie actually is. the cgi work looks awful. worse is ryan reynolds' facial expressions. i just cannot take that dude seriously in that role even if it is a comic book.

this movie look batman and robin level stupid.

They seemed to handicap themselves almost.

Granted I have't read the green lantern books so I don't know if the decision of him taking on the green lantern mantle was such a huge part of the plot or just something they exaggerated for the movie.

Eitherway i'm pretty much not gonna see it at this point

And he was the calmer, straight man in The Proposal. And he wasn't as cocky in Definitely, Maybe.

But yeah, he has landed in some shitty movies. His agent is getting him in big movies but they all seem to suck. He needs to do more smaller stuff to balance out the sell out shit shows.

I dont want this to be shitty but it looks like it is.

I'm planning to check out a matinee tomorrow after I go with a friend who's planning to try and be an extra for the third batman movie when its shooting out here...

but if it's THIS shitty, i'm going to just hold off and wait for the film on netflix...IF AT ALL.

And, I *LIVE* for Angela Bassett...damn, i hope she got a big check for popping up in some shit like this.

was just as shitty to me.

-weak dialogue throughout? check
-terrible cgi? check, for the most part.
-story that went nowhere?? CHECK.

nope. making that scientist dude a villain was a terrible choice. shoulda went with sinestro becoming paralax and wrecking shop on oa. this movie should have taken place mostly in space. angela was wasted. the humor was all flat. the final battle was boring and i sat there waiting for it to end.

the moments with the guardians were engaging, with sinestro, and sadly these scenes were very far and few between. it was simply a boring story furthered by shitty dialogue and weak effects.

i wanted to like this, desperately so. i yearned, pined, longed to enjoy this. i'm pissed.

I agree that having Saarsgard in there weakens the film, but he gives the best performance! When Hal and Carol talked, I longed for the scientist character.

Having it all in space would've been cool, but the effects were so dark on Oa. Aren't there beams of light around them? It's all blackest night and no brightest day up there.

Also, is it just me, or does Hal take this massive discovery EXTREMELY easily? There's one shot of him at home looking out the window, and that's IT. I'd be freaking the fuck out-- lots of good and bad with that insane knowledge.

I think Strong would be a kick-ass villainous Sinestro, and Reynolds did well enough with what he was given that I think he could carry a well-written, well-edited Green Lantern film.

But they need to make a looooot more money for this to be a financial success. And with Transformers two weeks away...

Extended thoughts: http://exm.nr/mxKdHN

The problems are easily identifiable. There's also some good.

Good:
- Saarsgard is terrific. Like Malkovich at his hammiest. Perfect.
- I liked Reynolds in the role. The big problem is the writing, not him. He comes closer to making it work than it should.
- Strong and the voices of Duncan and Hopkins are just right. Again, underdeveloped, but the pieces are there for a good sequel.
- the tempo is fast-paced...

Bad:
- ... largely because the editing is atrocious. You can tell damage was done once this film wrapped shooting. Scenes are too short or too long, and whole scenes seem to be missing. I can go into detail later in the post.
- the effects are pretty bad. Some stuff works, like Kilowop and the ring effects... but the suit is terrible. They're wildly inconsistent. Hal in front of the sun looks great, but when Sur's hand goes limp in the spaceship, it's a gratuitous use of CGI. Many scenes feel like they took empty shots of scenery and used them at random for other scenes, as they'll switch from actors to obvious CGI for a meaningless shot and then back to actors. It feels like studio interference, frankly.
- this might be editing again, but the Carol-Hal relationship is SO mercurial that its laughable. She changes her mind on him so freely and often.
- the daddy issue stuff in the Reynolds flashback is super poorly handled. Chuckles were heard in my audience.
- Oa and Parallax look like murky effects. Some shots looked better than others. Really inconsistent.

I think the pieces were there, and it's nowhere close to my worst movies of the year. It's inconsistent-- some good things, but the bad outweighs it. If they got a new director, editor, and FX team, I'd watch this cast in a Sinestro sequel, no question (another moment that seems wildly unmotivated, I suspect because a scene devoted to explaining why was cut).

>Good:
>- Saarsgard is terrific. Like Malkovich at his hammiest.
>Perfect.

COMPLETELY disagree there. he did great with what he had, but what he was was completely worthless to the film. the character was completely unnecessary.

>- I liked Reynolds in the role. The big problem is the
>writing, not him. He comes closer to making it work than it
>should.

well the writing was the worst part to me. i like RR a lot and felt he made a perfect hal. none of this is his fault.

>- Strong and the voices of Duncan and Hopkins are just right.

agreed.

>Again, underdeveloped, but the pieces are there for a good
>sequel.
>- the tempo is fast-paced...

the corp and oa in general were pretty good; no qualms with that. it's eeeeeeeeeeeverything else.

>Bad:
>- the effects are pretty bad. Some stuff works, like Kilowop
>and the ring effects... but the suit is terrible.

i don't trip on that suit personally. it's fine to me. the background cgi, the green bubble, etc... blech.

>Many scenes feel like they took empty shots of
>scenery and used them at random for other scenes, as they'll
>switch from actors to obvious CGI for a meaningless shot and

>frankly.

basically.

>- this might be editing again, but the Carol-Hal relationship
>is SO mercurial that its laughable. She changes her mind on
>him so freely and often.

blech. then again, i'm one who has great disdain for love stories in movies as it is. seriously, does EVERY FUCKING MOVIE have to be about a boy chasing a girl all damn movie?

>- the daddy issue stuff in the Reynolds flashback is super
>poorly handled. Chuckles were heard in my audience.

blech.

>- Oa and Parallax look like murky effects. Some shots looked
>better than others. Really inconsistent.

yep.

>I think the pieces were there, and it's nowhere close to my
>worst movies of the year. It's inconsistent-- some good
>things, but the bad outweighs it.

not the worst, but it's not a good movie by any stretch. i'm just geeked that it's a GL flick- but highly disappointed in what we got.

>editor, and FX team, I'd watch this cast in a Sinestro sequel,
>no question (another moment that seems wildly unmotivated, I
>suspect because a scene devoted to explaining why was cut).

i'd still watch a sequel, i like kilwog, sinestro, the corp, the guardians, hal, but that's it. they need a new writing team in the worst way.

147. "That might be the worst part of the film, honestly."
In response to Reply # 146


  

          

And apparently, the first draft spent time developing his relationship with his father, how his father was related to Ferris, the relationship as children between Hal, Carol, and Hector, etc. All cut from the film and replaced with? A shittily-edited flashback and a picture taped to the plane console.

Awful.

152. "yeah, there's a six issue arc / trade paperback with that story"
In response to Reply # 147


  

          

and the funniest thing about even that six issue run is that it COMPLETELY sticks out in the most recent 60+ issue run of Green Lantern because it's the only story arc that really even deals with Ferris Air at all.

you could see why they would want to include that, though. there's already the comic / script, they can sell the trade paperbacks, and it's the "safe" superhero origin.

in the comic run, though, Sinestro comes to earth to confront Hal about having Abin Sur's ring, Hector Hammond is infected by alien tech from Abin's ship, but Parallax is not part of the deal at all, and Hal barely interacts with the Guardians at all. plus there's a whole 'nother two pretty awesome characters in that arc which didn't make it in the film, the Black Hand and Atrocitus (who they could have used to set up the 2nd film, since Atrocitus is searching for clues on a prophecy that bears fruit down the line).

anyway -- I'm sure you don't really care about any of that. the point is there is a whole, good, decent trade all about Hal, Hal's little brother, Hal's dad, and his childhood relationship with Carol Ferris, but they reduced it to such a point in the film they really should have just left it out.

In response to Reply # 134


  

          

I attribute this to watching it in 3D....eventhough there wasn't much 3D going on.

All in all if felt very clobbered together. None of the performances were bad....it was just the material they were working with.

It's like the writers knew Reynolds could be funny so the wrote it for him to be funny...instead of writing Hal.

but there is nothing wrong with being odd. i mean you arent inkast or adwhizz odd. - VABestBBW

140. "biggest problem? needed to decide if it was about Hal or the Corps"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

and for my money, they should have just blown it out with the Corps (see the animated GL: First Flight if you wanna see what I thought it shoulda been -- Hal goes to space, gets trained, then fights off a major opponent with the help of the Corps with minimal earth stuff going on).

I could nitpick some stuff (the constantly animated suits -- blech, and why couldn't they let the inside of the logo just stay static white? that weird filtering green stuff is EXACTLY what people are talking about when they say this film looks hokey), but I really think if they had just committed to either earth or to space, this would have been a lot better.

Blake Lively is not a star. I think Ryan Reynolds suffered most when he had to act heroic, he should have just rocked the cocky, sarcastic prick angle for the entirety, let the heroism come from guys like Mark Strong (who was EASILY the best part of the movie). I'll be sad if there's no sequel, cuz there's enough here to make me interested, BUT ... they need to make a commitment and just go balls out with the cosmic shit. enough of this nancy earth distractions, let's face it, the Green Lantern of Space Sector 2814 is just plain bigger than getting in to alley fights with common thugs.

oh yeah, and Sarsgaard was awesome. losing Hector Hammond seems an impossibility, but that's where they missed -- go earth bound with Hector first movie, goes cosmic with Sinestro and the rest of the Corps next, but don't try to do both in one movie, cuz you just end up feeling short changed on both.

141. "they really squandered a chance to make a good one"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

i enjoyed the action scenes, the enemies were good, Sinestro was set up well, and OA was pretty cool. story wasn't even bad, but the CGI was spotty, Reynolds shouldn't have been cast at all, and I rolled my eyes at the dialogue quite a few times.

I know they try to make movies more relatable and widestream, but does it even work more often than not? bad dialogue is bad dialogue. most people sniff it out pretty quickly. this movie really underestimated the audience. when it was in talks i said i didn't think the character was popular enough to justify this kind of budget. while green lantern has had a resurgence in the comics world in the past decade, outside of comic book fans i don't think there are enough people interested to carry this, especially with the bad reviews. if they went all-out on the sci-fi aspect it might have saved this.

142. "the thing about the comic resurgence is that it focused on space"
In response to Reply # 141


  

          

the recent run on the comics that pushed the book in to the top 10 sales, a place generally reserved only for the usual suspects like X-Men and Batman, was generally set in space. Hal was basically just an intergalactic cop in the comics, and it didn't focus a lot on the earth stuff like his relationship, it focused more on his tension with the Guardians and the structure of the Corps in general.

of course, Hal has that old school baggage, and you can't realistically make a hero's journey unless you cover the stuff like getting his powers and learning how to fly and stuff. so the movie came off as schizophrenic. they shouldn't have tried to do the same ol' same ol' hero's journey and just stuck to what makes this franchise unique -- SPACE.

so 53 mil isn't that bad as far as recent comic movies are concerned. i have a feeling its gonna be a disasterous 2nd week though.

In response to Reply # 158


  

          

Green Lantern had fucking AD CAMPAIGNS and shit leading up to this weekend...

the fast food ties in

the public transportation posters, etc.

the multiple trailers the cast doing MULTIPLE interviews, PR, etc.

all of that..and it *ONLY* got 53 mil?

sorry but given that the second week will drop off considerably and the *TELLING* weekend is fourth of july...

if GL is not there that weekend, they better hope the movie makes it budget back over seas

because at the moment, given all the money spent on this film...its looking like a flop.

hearing all the negative reviews probably helped since expected it to be shit going in and fuck it, I enjoyed it enough. animation didn't bother me nearly as much as I thought from previews, some was extra cheesy but the 3D was cool for the most part.

If I was 10, Id have loved this much more as my 5 year old thought it was amazing and helped my view of it.

165. "more dumb fun than Thor"
In response to Reply # 0


          

- opening CGI scene looked like an intro to a Playstation ONE game (trumped later by Lantern comically zooming out of the building with Lively).
- Reynolds might not have A-list star power, but he was no worse than Tobey.
- Blake Lively cannot act. but I forgive her because she is straight up SEXY, especially with that dark hair. should have been Emma Frost in X-Men.
- Sarsgaard was captivating. Tim Robbins was just there (lmao @ at the crowd standing still like dumbasses as a helicopter comes crashing down).
- smart run time. surprisingly never lagged horribly for me.

it's goofy, instant forgettable and probably a franchise killer when the numbers roll in. will ultimately become a decent cable movie in the afternoon Sunday time slot.

And I actually watched it in 3D because I didn't have a choice. I wasn't disappointed, but then again, I lowered my expectations. What I ended up with was an experience better than the one I had with Thor, which turned me off to wanting to watch anything in 3D ever again. (And I'm a relative Marvel Studios fanboy).

I want a sequel.

or take a shit.

i dunno... do you have dishes to wash, a car to detail, some laundry, some old taxes to catch up on or something? i'd recommend you do that instead. the list of things that offer a better time than this movie is pretty long, especially if you're a GL fan.

hyperbole aside, it's got it's moments but it's dead last by a good margin this summer. the movies to come out in the genre have set an excellent overall bar this summer and it's flaws become even more glaring in that light.

if it's free and you're really interested, have at it i say.

the writing, editing, and source material are it's weakest points....why the writing, cause some of the dialoge and character motivations are really weakk...the editing? well, as someone else has said, it felt like pieces were cut out and some of the transitions were sloppy...the source material? hal Jordan is one of THE most boring characters to ever grace a comic, and he a complete douche (two credits he shares with best friend Barry Allen)...the movie does a cool job of making the guy more interesting all the way around, but it had it's work cut out for it...i didn't care about the CGI cause honestly, it's very rare that CGI looks great..people sayin they wanted it to really feel like they were in Oa *LOL*, grow up....

...it's a cool mindless summer movie, but i gotta say that for what they put into it, it's a halfass atempt at what could have been a GREAT movie...

This is the type of movie tailor-made for people who value explosions and (bad! bad! bad!) CGI over telling an actual fucking story.

Everything about it was subpar, from the smarmy acting to the shitty writing, to the overdone narration, to the scattershot editing, to the (bad! bad! bad!) CGI down to even that shitty post-credits scene with Sinestro.

The movie never really shows Sinestro being upstaged by Hal and the only reason it gave for him wanting to use the yellow ring was rendered moot once Parallax was defeated. Comic nerds like myself probably creamed themselves over it, but film nerds and average movie-goers alike were probably left scratching their heads.

If you've never picked up a GL comic a day in your life, that scene has no resonance to you.

Sinestro needed to have put on the yellow ring AND have done something diabolical with it for it to register.
