Beware my power, Green Lanterns Light!

Bloods End

So this guy



Is getting his own movie. Starring


Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordon. People feel that he is not suited for the role, as he has a personality which famously Hal lacks. Can this work in his advantage? Why am I asking you?



Blake Lively as Carol Ferris. She's Hal's boss and eventually turns into a flying pink stripper. HAHA comic books!



Mark Strong as Sinestro. He starts out as the greatest Green Lantern of them all, then becomes space Hitler. Also looks completely amazing in this movie.



Peter Sarsgard as Hector Hammond. I never watched any movie with this guy in it. But he plays a guy who gets a giant head. And I don't know, mind powers or something.

In supporting roles are Tim "Snuck out of Shawshank through a shit tunnel" Robbins as Senator Hammond, Geoffry "Crazy Pirate" Rush as the voice of Tomar-Re, Micheal Clark "Holy Shit I'm Huge" Duncan as the drill sargent of the Corps Kilowog, Angela "Strange Days" Bassit as Amanda "The Wall" Waller, and Clancy "Fucking Lex Luthor" Brown as the voice of the big bad, Parrallax.

I'm fairly excited, and Sinestro looks like he's going to be bad ass.

Clint Eastwood

this movie doesn't look too bad but this year seems like it is way too overstuffed with super hero flicks

The Geek

Clancy Brown? Sweet.

Bloods End

Oh and theres some marine guy playing someone named John Stewart.

Calamity Jane

why is mark strongs burned arm being ripped off exactly

BlankZoe

This is the superhero movie I am most iffy on this summer

Usagi

Saw the preview for this before X-Men today, and I know next to nothing about the Green Latern series but it looked good

Calamity Jane

this movie hinges entirely on the appeal of ryan reynolds, and how far people can/can't look past these fruit roll up spaceman suits

Darmak

Yeah, I know Jack and shit about the Green Lantern but the movie looks like it'll be pretty good.

BlankZoe

It

I mean it just reeks of "Iron Man was really good, lets do that."

cause Hal Jordan, while a ladies man, was never hilarious or particularly clever. He was basically Tom Cruise in Top Gun: The Superhero.

But now we have Reynolds doing goofy shit, which is fine, but man it is so blatant.

I will say the Green Lantern Corps itself and Oa look really fucking cool.

Centipede Damascus

you haven't seen any movies with Peter Sarsgard in them? dang.

at least see An Education. that was a pretty good movie.

Hunter

I have to buy some of these before I see this movie in the theater.

I Win Swordfights

I hate Peter Sarsgaard.

Calamity Jane

while playing LA Noire i was fairly certain kelso was played by peter sarsgaard

its actually gil mckinney

Macro9

Probably be my next movie after Super 8.

Love me those alien movies.

DJ Eebs

I'm not really looking forward to this, partially because of ryan reynolds, partially because I don't really dig what they did with the effects

Calamity Jane

yeah, this is basically like the lincoln log base for all the reboots that'll be jammed into this DC franchise

but they have said Superman and Batman and whatever won't be tying in to Green Lantern or anything

but they still want to do a Justice League movie somehow

Kwoaru

they could just do a justice league movie

Calamity Jane

no i mean they're gonna remake this a million fucking times unless by some act of god it's successful

Calamity Jane

well, maybe in the context of it being successful critically

they're probably making a bit of money on advertising and that cartoon, and more pre-film merch

BlankZoe

Kwoaru wrote: »

With different versions of superheroes that had their own films a year before and are also played by different actors?

Yes, this is a good plan

Calamity Jane

it's one of those things where you just kinda imagine the interviews they'll have after the film is put out

"mr reynolds what'll the sequel focus on"

"well, the internal conflict over having...so much power. we're also gonna try and really give a little fan service. also, if most of our big overhead costs are covered again we're gonna try and make everything not look retarded as hell"

Kwoaru

it wouldn't be the dumbest idea they've ever run with

Macro9

They tried and failed with a plan like that before.

Outside of Batman I have no faith in DC's cinematic vision. If movies turn out good that's great, but I have to see the good.

Wash

Goddamn are the Lantern costumes awful

Wandering Idiot

I want this to be good, but it seems to me they made some pretty bad design decisions. Mostly notably Hal's mask/eyes, and the huge-head guy. Unless that's only a transitional state for 5 minutes or something, it's going to be hard to take him seriously as a bad guy.

Blake T

The trailers for this have been terrible.

But the wondercon thingie actually looked ok.

I am hoping it will be good.

Wash

The movie just looks bad. The CGI aliens, the big headed guy, the suits, the lantern manifestations. Blehh.

Clint Eastwood

I think the suits and aliens look pretty neato

Big head guy looks dumb though.

I am like, 75 percent sure this movie is going to suck

This is exactly how I felt about the new X-men movie and apparently that's pretty good? Who even knows any more, I thought Iron Man 2 was going to be the best super hero movie in a long while and it was dogshit.

Centipede Damascus

the best thing about the movie I've seen so far is how they made Sinestro look exactly like he does in the comics

A month ago I was sure that Thor would be better than the new X-Men, and then it turned out to be kind of dull. Dunno if it's because expectations for comic book movies have gotten higher or if they've just been genuinely underwhelming as of late.

Bloods End

Maybe you're genuinely underwhelming as of late.

Javen

I think they're about the level they've always been, with Iron Man being considerably above that level

I think Captain America will reach this level though.

Man I wouldn't call Iron Man 2 dogshit

You've got a point about First Class though, I saw their take on Mystique and Beast and immediately thought "oh crap what are they doing"

Granted the later trailer that spoiled pretty much the entire finale made me reconsider

Ban "Hunter" Tia sounds like a superhero name to me
