What is this, "Attack of the Clones:Rehashed (without a sexy Portman sporting a skin tight, stomach reveling suit)"? I mean, did anyone even look at how awful the cgi on the corps looked? Awful (although I do hope the pod in the opening sequence was inspired by the pod from Earthworm Jim). Plus, the movie has that awful stereotype that all aliens speak with an English accent. And one more thing...If you're over 25 years of age, the pod and the alien and the passing along of a jewel...Does that remind you of anything? It's nothing new; a lot of movies/shows/books/etc. include the same opening where a being crashes down to Earth, near death, and passes on something extraordinary. But holy shit, if this scene of the "purple" alien doesn't remind me of the first few episodes of the second season of the animated TMNT series. If I had the time I'd scan the pictures from the TMNT comic book (Archie series #3 I believe) which did borrow from the GL series, but it feels this time GL ripped off TMNT. Funny how things work out.

I'd love to see a Green Lantern movie but this looks like something I'd scrape off my shoe. No substance, lousy effects, and incredibly awful dialogue. The lantern pledge is spoken as if a four...okay, I'll give it some credit. The lantern pledge is spoken as if a six year old was doing the performance. Might as well say "Lantern big, lantern bright, on this lantern I wish tonight." as it is just as effective. And to be candid, besides the thingy with a beak, where are the boobs? I'm not joking. Where are the boobs? No love interest? I mean, I don't want to wear a ring, but I got a hot chick with boobs that goes along with it. I can't fly with a lousy green cgi shield covering me in front of a green screen shooting fake green stuff, but I'd trade a hot chick with nice boobs for playing a third tier DC character in a movie whose only power is obvious shitty cgi effects any day.

I expect very little character growth in this too. In CAP, the trailer has all the character growth (mental and physical) in a minute! CAP will be great, as it also includes a love interest who really puts the two in WW2. CAP the movie looks and feels right. GL looks bland, the same way Thor does (minus Portman. She makes any movie worth seeing...well maybe not the new Danny McBride one). As with Speed Racer, effects don't make a movie for me. Give me some substance. I don't need a story as developed as Driving Mrs. Daisy, but don't give me an action movie with the content of Dude Where's My Car. "Dude gets a ring and becomes awesome" isn't really a story I'm interested in, unless "awesomeness" comes at a price so high that you'll die for it (yup, a nerdy LOTR reference).

Looks like a one star movie at best to me, but that doesn't mean I won't shell out some cash to see it. And don't get me wrong, I'm rooting for this movie. Jordan isn't my favorite GL, but I'd love to see a great GL movie, and the trailer gave me the knee jerk response of "this ain't going to be it". It's not fair to judge a movie by its trailer(s), but as far as judging the trailer, I'd say turn the lantern off and wait for a bat signal.

[Ack]

That thing I said.

Dear God...I mean, I wasn't really looking forward to this one either, but...wow. You ok?

I've got a case of the "cranky's". If I was a bi-polar bear, I'd be living in the Antarctic. That doesn't dismiss the fact the movie looks awful.

I'm looking forward to it along with Captain America!!

[ZeroAX]

Wasted opportunity imo. As some one who doesn't read the comics, Green Latern looks like an interesting character, and his stories seem to be really good (for once the super hero doesn't sit in one city, where magically all the greatest threats to humanity appear ).

But all this terrible cgi (really was it that hard to have him wear a real costume?) plus the fact that John Stewart is the coolest looking GL, and the horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible horrible casting decision of giving the role to Ryan "I'm only good for romantic comedies" Raynolds.

Will wait for the DVD to rent it.

I like Ryan Reynolds. And I'm pretty sure there's a love interest. There's definitely a boobed character, Blake Lively. The CGI is average, why can't they get flying right? I actually like the CGI costume though. It's a change of pace to the spandex, latex, and leather. It doesn't look like it will be one of the best superhero movies, but it's far from the bottom (Wolverine, Elektra, Catwoman)

I mean, did anyone even look at how awful the cgi on the corps looked? Awful

The CGI was bad so bad that the neck line of Hal's costume kept standing out and I couldn't stop focusing on it. Kinda like how when I had a crush on Teri Hatcher during her Lois and Clark days and noticed one of her nostrils is like five gazillion times larger than the other. These things distract me... and bad CGI can be fixed. It's inexcusable.
