The trailer actually let me down a bit. Looked like a Marvel film, and I don't like Marvel films. That being said they're probably looking to make it like Iron Man. We'll see if it turns out that way.
Yeah. The tone of the trailer was a little light for my taste. The effects looked cool and I thought the Green Lanterns that they showed on Oa as well as Abin Sur looked cool. I don't mind the casting of Ryan Reynolds, but I hope they're not trying to make the movie too funny. The joking attitude works with Tony Stark because it fits the character. But I've never really thought of Hal Jordan as having that kind of personality. Guy Gardner, yes. But not Jordan. At any rate, this has to at least turn out better than that "Green Lantern" movie they were proposing a few years ago that was supposed to be campy and have Jack Black in the lead as Hal Jordan. God, that would have been such a train wreck.

You can even write a new style of story to better fir a film trilogy, because the Geoff Johns stuff I don't think would translate all that well on screen with in a 2 hour or so time frame for each arc. You kind of mold the Raynor and Gardner characters into one and make Jordan into Paralax by the third film.Do a top Gun style theme where they are rival pilots, and upon saying that I realize that if they had made a GL film in the 80s Val Kilmer would have been a solid Hal Jordan. Hal gets the ring with Guy realizing by first film's end that it just as easily could have been him who got it. Kind of a dick about it but lovable at the same time. Ah well, what do I know?

The Geoff John's stuff is well written, but I don't know how they'd fit a Geoff John's storyline into a two hour movie, considering most of his Green Lantern stories are these epic stories that span multiple issues and usually have quite a few other characters, outside of just the Green Lantern Corps. and it's traditional villains. I wouldn't mind someone adapting one of Geoff John's Green Lantern stories if they did it right. But that would be a pretty ambitious endeavor, and knowing Hollywood, they'd probably screw it up.
It's not that "some say the original Green Lantern was white", he was white that's a fact pure and simple you can't dispute it. They can use any Green Lantern they want for this film, fans of the comics know all of them not just "the new one" there really is no reason to complain at all. Fans of the comic are not complaining because there is nothing to b*tch about they picked the Green Lantern they did because that is the story line they wanted to use, it has nothing to do with the colour he was.==============neon open signshow to build a website
This movie was kinda wack. Cool effects and shit but not really that funny, Seth needs other funny guys in his movies, not just him.
