Astor Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Anyone been following this film at all? What do people think? There's an extended trailer here. I think it looks interesting, and I'll definitely go and see it, but the heavy CGI puts me off a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.:Lord Revan:. Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I think it looks sweet, can't wait to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMaster12 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I saw the previews for it and I thought it looked cool. I might go see simply because my brother talked me ear off about the lanterns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miltiades Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Never read any Green Lantern comics, but I like superhero movies. And it looks good, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pho3nix Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Not really that interested, I never did read the comics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexrd Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I think it looks interesting, and I'll definitely go and see it, but the heavy CGI puts me off a little. It looks interesting to me, too. However, I think the heavy CGI is needed to show GL's universe. I'm a DC fan, so I'm going to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ctrl Alt Del Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 They could (should) have picked someone better than Reynolds for the role. I suppose he does look like Hal Jordan but looks aren't much if he can't act. Also, the villain is not Sinestro? Lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acdcfanbill Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I wasn't too interested since i'm not a big green lantern fan, but I saw that footage from whatever convention a week or so back and my interest is rising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primogen Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Of course the villain isn't Sinestro. You save the best villain for the second movie, and you use the first movie for buildup and an origin story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChAiNz.2da Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Of course the villain isn't Sinestro. You save the best villain for the second movie, and you use the first movie for buildup and an origin story. Only if the comic protaganist is a popular enough hero to warrant multiple movies. Seems to me Green Lantern will need to pull off some big moves if it wants to see the light of day on a second movie. He's just not popular enough in pop culture (disposable cash age) nowadays. Sinestro is Green Lantern's only re-occurring villain that's really worth anything. Superman has Luthor. First movie. Check (both versions) Spiderman has Green Goblin. First Movie. Check Batman has Joker. First Movie. Check (original) even the Dark Knight had to pull off a Joker by the second movie. That, and only Batman (or Spiderman) has a varied enough villain base (read: popular and well known by non-comic fans) to pull it off successfully. Xmen too.. but they've already ruined that line. Reboot necessary to get any life back in to that wreck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taak Farst Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Don't you like the Star Wars prequels, Taak? No. No I don't. I lost faith in the prequels as soon as the first droid shouted "Roger, Roger!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordOfTheFish Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I really hope they didn't ruin this film with cheesy dialogue and comedy. Eh, who am i kidding... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primogen Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Ah, good. I was about to have to make comments about how the prequels had more CGI than bloody Transformers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSR Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I've never had much interest in the superhero genre, and the only exposure to Green Lanter that i've had before this is from watching the Big Bang Theory. Normally i find this kind of thing to be somewhat tacky, and quite frankly, too American for me. That's not a troll, just a cultural observation. I will say however, that this actually looks pretty damm cool. Even with the heavy CGI, which has pretty much become a staple in most modern day action/sci-fi flicks, i think that i'll be going to see this if and when a UK release comes.
