No real plot

Special Effects are Cheesy

Dark Knight had better special effects than Green Lamp

I'm assuming T3 will be about the same as T2.

Just watch it online, skip thru the people BS and watch cheesy lantern stuff.  That's about 30 minutes of the movie and you are done or asleep.

This is what you simpletons watch?  ???  What exactly are you expecting out of a comic book movie?  Little wonder why movies are drastically dumbed down for today`s short attention span morons.  These movies can be cranked out like roach bait monthly and all the pests readily line up to willingly waste their lives watching such toxic rubbish.  As long as they make money, the quality does not matter, especially when you have an audience with a low IQ and no standards.

I liked it, it sucked compared to Thor, the G said, the story was done terribly, they just tried to cram too much info and back story into too short a time IMHO, and the other Lanters were in it for like 2 fucking seconds...
Sinestro comes out to tell everyone how they face an "unprecedented danger" and they have to forge the yellow ring, but then Hal defeats the whole thing on his own, easily, while the other lanters sat around with their thumbs up their asses. Just bad storytelling all over the place. 

BUT, I thought they did a good job with the characters, the effects were cool... just sucks they had so much to work with and it was so anticlamactic.

95% viewer rating for XMEN 1st Class.

Do we even need to discuss what viewers think of Batman?

Everyone comic book hero has a wealth of quality material in his or her comic collection, in which a great movie can be written.  Instead, they went for cheap eye candy parlor tricks 3D BS with Green Lamp.

Thor wasn't much better.

Captain WMD looks like BS from the trailers also.

There's a reason why people love AMC's Walking Dead, given the producers are more or less sticking to the comics.

The formula isnt that hard.

Oh, and I'd put Transformers in with animated movies.

For creativity, watch State of Play...
But, Hollywood has forever adapted comicbooks (today's myths and legends), novels, and or ancient myths and legends...and have used their themes.
The one comicbook I would have like to see done on a movie screen or on TV was a very short lived one called "Inferno". Basically the premise is the gate of hell has been opened, so a team must be sent down to retrieve the key...problem is, the only people who can enter hell are those who are going to be going there in the first place---convicted killers, rapists, child molesters, etc. They are recruited from prisons And so they must need a leader as well...
Opening scene of them going thru the gate of hell is man being killed---he didn't  belong there, he was wrongly convicted of murder.

A unique take on Dante's Inferno.

Apparently you have a bunch of producers from my generation green-lighting movies nowadays. They grew up primarily reading Marvel Comics back in the 70's and 80's. With the computer/special effects technology at an advanced enough level at this point to allow these superhero movies to look fairly realistic, its all systems go. Ten years ago these movies would look like complete shit.

You've got a huge supply of characters to put up on the big screen and allow a segment of the 35-50 male demographic to relive their childhood days of geekdom.  And the 18-35 year old demographic will go out to see anything with enough hype, explosions and star power. Movies will always be a cheap date for broke youth.

Exactly. I don't know why people go into summer blockbusters expecting anything more than loud noises and cool explosions. They're designed to make money (usually to cover their $200 million budgets), not win Oscars.

Post by: Ron on June 20, 2011, 07:21:14 PM
Will definately wait until it comes out on DVD...



From Rueters New on how is did...

The costly superhero movie "Green Lantern" flickered at the weekend box office in North America, while a Jim Carrey family comedy got a lukewarm reception.

According to studio estimates issued on Sunday, "Green Lantern" earned about $52.7 million -- at the lower end of expectations -- during its first three days of release across the United States and Canada.

The Warner Bros. 3D release will need to make up ground overseas to recoup its reported $200 million production budget and its $125 million worldwide marketing tab. (The studio said those numbers were too high, but declined to give its own figures.)

Ideally, the picture would have opened to about $55 million, said Dan Fellman, the president of domestic theatrical distribution at the Time Warner Inc unit. But it was too early to get an accurate picture of its prospects, he added.

Critics mauled the picture, which stars Ryan Reynolds as an intergalactic space cop. The relatively obscure character originated in a DC Comics book, and is the latest superhero to invade theaters in recent weeks following "Thor" ($65 million opening) and a fifth "X-Men" movie ($55 million).

As the guy that enjoys most of the movies that critics hate, and that loves seeing movies that are just eye candy and special effects, just action and explosions for your average moronic american, I can say this movie sucked.
It was cool seeing the Lantern Corp, it was cool seeing shit ive seen in Comics and to see stuff I remembered from comics, but it just sucked. They had so much to work with, even being able to just fall back on the effects and explosions, and it still sucked. Badly.
BUT - that being said, if given the choice to do it over, Id still pay to see it, its a good mindless summer movie. I was just disappointed that with so much to work with, it sucked as bad as it did.

I always thought the Green Lantern was a pretty lame character. The television show only aired for one season, and its success was largely the result of Bruce Lee playing Kato. If there isn't Bruce Lee reincarnated playing Kato(and there most certainly isn't), then I don't want to see it.

There was a series written in 1990 called 'Atlantis Chronicles' which was the story of Atlantis which lead up to the birth of Aquaman, brilliantly written series and should be made into a TV show.

The reason for Aquaman is what other DC characters could they make movies out of? Wonder Woman (Bah)? The Flash (could be great)? Justice League? Really reaching other than Superman or Batman.
