Green Lantern

I'm sure fanboys will dig this like crazy, but I honestly feel it won't appeal to a mass audience. The trailers are too busy and I think the movie is reaching too far for an origin story. All we need right now is "fighter jet pilot turns space cop" and it would be awesome. It can get epic for the second movie.

I'm sure I will enjoy it. I'm sure GL fans will eat it up. I just can't see this becoming a hit. I just wish DC could do with their properties other than Batman what Marvel has been doing with theirs.

'Green Lantern' To Fulfill America's Wish To See Lantern-Based Characters On Big Screen

And so far it's getting pretty bad reviews. I would say I'm surprised but sadly that's par for the course for DC movies than aren't Superman or Batman.

I'm fairly certain this movie will suck ass, and not because of Ryan Reynolds, but because of CGI overkill and bad writing/directing.

Thor pushed my patience but won with a good lead actor and just falling back on sheer introspective campyness.

In other words, if I see this...I expect the worst.

Also, I have been Ryan Reynolds personal cheerleader for the past like 19 years. Despite how shitty Deadpool was in Wolverine, and despite how shitty this movie is going to be, I think Reynolds is a great actor and has potential. He seems like a serious comic fan, and I bet his performance is okay in this film and the beef is with other things. Reynolds = a good guy. I enjoyed Buried a lot.
