Movie looks sick... the begining of the preview looks ok but then shit realy kicks in!!!
-
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.

i feel you...the comedy and choice of actor felt very marvel

At least that if it sucks both Marvel and DC have set precedence by revamping failures a couple years later. Hulk and the upcoming Superman.

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.

That's why Reynolds as Gardner with Cooper as Hal would have been perfect. 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?

Yeah. 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.

I'd use loads of aspects from his work, just not the linear plot development. The way used Sinestro as the rogue lantern that split off after his iron fist ruling was found out. If you do a two Lantern trilogy f films I'd have the first one be mainly about Hal standing up against Sinestro and his way, but by the end he himself becomes a Sinestro in the way he rules, while Gardner is the one that at first would understand a iron fist but defeats Paralax at the end. I'd make it a Hal Jordan death ending, for effect.
I wouldn't be looking to win an Oscar here, just make it as solid as possible.

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.

That might be the worst trailer I've seen in years
-
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.

Well I finally got to see GL sunday. Its a good movie, don't bother with 3D cause just like POTC 4 there's barely anything 3D. $ saving tip of the day ;) Hollyweird should either put more 3D stuff in movies or don't bother doing them >:( Those who might not like the movie might not realize that the story of GL must be told, can't cram everything into 1 movie. I don't know if this was in the comic books but i'm sick & tired of relationships in action movies. Enough with seeing ex loves, their exes for a reason, it sometimes ruins the action movies. Hal shoulda went with new pussy. The redhead is a bitch. Good, but not movie of the year. Its good for a superhero change, cause on movies, comics, cartoons, its always superman batman & spiderman. But barely others.

For what it's worth, I enjoyed the movie, but it did have some problems. I'm not sure it deserves the anal rapage it's receiving from all of the critics, but I do think some of the criticisms were accurate. The stuff with Parallax and the stuff on Oa I thought worked well. In a way that surprised me, because I thought that might be where the movie would run into the most trouble. But really, I thought all the stuff with the various Green Lanterns and the Guardians worked fine. Mark Strong's Sinestro, I thought was particularly good.
The parts where I thought they ran into trouble was the stuff back on Earth, when Hal returns with his powers. Hector Hammond, for instance seems like he could be an interesting character when he's introduced, but ultimately by the end of the film, the character seems wasted. Also, there were elements of the story (with Jordan's family, for instance) that seemed like they were put in to build to something later in the film, but then those elements were never revisited. It makes me wonder how much of the movie may have been cut, to keep the pacing of the film quicker.
To me, the overall movie was a mixed bag but there were a enough good elements in play that I think a sequel could work very well. Right now, Warner Bros. is acting like a sequel will happen, but I think that is still up in the air. They spent over $200 million making this movie, so I'm sure they're waiting to see how well this one is going to do at the box office before they make any final decisions.
