I kind of liked the Green Lantern movie. I mean the details on Oa were kind of perfect and the story was pretty okay. I liked the way they really captured Hal's character and he and Carol's interactions and everything was pretty great overall. My only complain was Parallax and the other dude. I felt that the whole fight and the events leading up to it was pretty rushed. Like they were all "Oh crap we're out of time. Hurry Hal go beat Parallax alone!" Other than that it was pretty awesome.
Maybe it wasn't the best movie released last summer, but it was alright. I think it needed a little more drama and a little less of the comedy, but over all it was good.
I thought Green Lantern would be good and Thor would be bad... I was surprised, it turned out to be just the opposite. Maybe DC should just stick to Batman, he's the only DC character with good movies, then again, before the reboot the series was as bad as Green Lantern
The race track was alright, but I agree that it is pretty unremarkable and I really would rather have had a deadpool movie, because if anybody can screw up deadpool(which they probably could/will) THEN decent comic book movies are probably done for good.
It wasnt terrible. Believe me, compared to something like 'Daredevil", it stands on its own. Plus hey, it set up Oa, the mythos of the Green Lantern Corps., introduced the notion of the yellow energy and why parallax was involved, AND set up for a sequel involving a much better villain and MAYBE the Sinestro Corps. war. who's to say we can't get the Red and Black lanterns involved in a third movie? the only thing i see is possibilty moving forward. Spider man 1 was ok. everyone remembers 2
The movie was pretty bad. The girl from Gossip Girl did not do anything in the movie, Hector Hammond was laughable, and there was not that much character development. They should have made Sinestro or Parallax the villain.

I thought movie was pretty good, but I never saw a movie I really hated to be quite honest. I think that what would've worked was if Sinestro put the yellow ring on during the movie and then fought Hal at the end instead of some weirdo with a big head, who seems sorta like what they might make/have made The Leader look
The Hal Jordan movie would have worked if they stuck true to the character's costume from the comics, spent more time training than a brawl near a fake sun and had made it either about Kyle Rayner or written Hal's character appropriately. There was nothing wrong with Ryan Reynolds-there was everything wrong with the production team! Geoff Johns signed off on that piece of crap when he should have been bitch slapping them ceaselessly with the wrath of an angry god!!!
@BaileofSolamnia probably because they are avoid green latern become captain libya (because libyan flag contain green and black) he he he kidding. overal green latern is a good movie
My reaction to the Green Lantern movie : Ryan Reynolds has no right being in any comic book movie PERIOD! Because of him the movie was shit! I would rather sit through 24 straight hours of Batman and Robin then watch Ryan Reynolds butcher a classic hero like Green Lantern...Seriously.
there were some very crappy DC and Marvel movie, one example would be BATMAN AND ROBIN for and DAREDEVIL. Marvel makes some really great movies but there is 1 GIANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE COMPANIES 1 DC tries to make alot of sequels from one movie GL is suppose to have 3 more movies Batman has like 20 movies including animated Where Marvel makes a few but powerful movies. Captain America gets no sequel and that movie was awesome. Personally, i love the comics they explain the movies' origins. :)
I really liked the movie, i just don't think Ryan Renolds is perfect for action movies...... except for when he was deadpool in xmen origins wolverine
Personally, I thought the movie was alright albeit forgettable and unremarkable. You might enjoy it but you won't look back fondly at it like it's a classic. I'm not much of a fan of the comics but I've read a few and the movie didn't do them much justice. My biggest gripe was how little screen time Hal shared with the other GLs like Kilowog & Sinestro.
While Marvel's live action movies tend to beat their DC counterparts except for Batman, DC's direct to DVD movies are just amazing.
Green Lantern: First Flight is near perfect.
Batman: Under The Red Hood a brilliant Batman movie.
All-Star Superman, whilst not as good as the same named (BEST SUPERMAN COMIC EVER) it's based on will probably be a whole lot better than 2013's Man of Steel.
The live action Wonder Woman TV-pilot was a fail but 09's Wonder Woman animated movie was brilliant!
PLEASE type in GREEN LANTERN THE ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY it is the true story of how GEORGE LUCAS sent off duty CIA agents to threaten my Mother with guns Please check it out thanks
@deadpool12merc I can already tell by your name that your a marvel fanboy so this may hurt you. A LOT. The dark knight is the biggest superhero movie of all time. Sooooo..... Yeah marvel can suck it. (actually I don't mind marvel but the characters aren't as complex as the batman universe so I do prefer it)
@InsaneNightmarePanda Right you know... Because MARVEL has Iron Man, Captain America, Thor... I guess..., X-Men 1, X-Men 2, X-Men first class, Upcoming Avengers, Men in Black, and hopefully Deadpool.
Meanwhile... DC has one more Batman movie...
Yeah.... definitely.... DC nailed their movies down.
Because I will always see The Dark Knight as a Chris Nolan movie first... A DC movie second.
@MrMICHAELCABOOSE if you really want to get into this, Thor wasn't that good neither were all the other films. men in black yes but that wasn't strictly a marvel and was only inspired by it. And of course you'd view batman as a Christopher Nolan film because you obviously are a bit of a marvel fanboy (yes i'm a batman fanbo but my point is sound) the movies marvel releases aren't made by marvel there made by companies like sony
@MrMICHAELCABOOSE just like how batman was made by Warner brothers and directed by Christopher Nolan it's still a dc film because it's BATMAN. It's still one of the best films of all time. Christopher Nolan chose to make a batman film because he could make a good film out of the characters (made by dc) he didn't think of the characters or the personalities thats still dc. more movies doesn't equal better movies (as shown by friday the 13th JasonX). I do respect you as a fellow comic book reader
@InsaneNightmarePanda And I you. Yet you are wrong. Movies like Captain America, Iron Man, (unfortunately Thor and Hulk), are made by MARVEL studios, however yes, the Spider Man franchise is at SONY and the X-Men Franchise is at FOX (Unfortunately).
But still. While DC has the one great Batman movie, it doesn't make up for the fact they have made more than their fair share of shit movies. To name a few: Superman Returns, Batman and Robin, Batman forever, Jonah Hex, The Losers, Green Lantern ect
@MrMICHAELCABOOSE yeah but there has been some good dc movies. The original superman ones were good for their time. But the problem i find with marvel movies is that as i read batman comics and graphic novel there's a lot more psychology behind the villains as well as the heroes which i love but in the movies they never really bring in that element which the batnolan movies did. But movies still differ with their director despite their studios but i don't think i mad that clear.
@MrMICHAELCABOOSE Just to say this has been one of my favourite internet debates ever.. of all time. Seriously it's good to have a discussion with a fellow fan (even though our opinions differ) rather than just watching mindless drones make useless points on IGN.
@InsaneNightmarePanda But the ting about MARVEL movies is that the Directors of the movies try to focus to much on what the characters do (like in Iron Man 2) and not so much as who these characters really are (Like in Iron Man 1). The reason why the Dark Knight franchise was so successful was because it had Chris Nolan as a screen writer. But no one else that writes a DC comic movie gets that.
And MARVEL characters can be as intricate and layered like for example Killer Crock in DC...
I can't see where critics are coming from with the poor scores on the Green Lantern movie. I rather liked it. It could have been better, yeah, but it was far from a bad film, in my opinion.
@johnnywhoastudios You have to remember the critics aren't just for the target demographic. Green lantern was a detective comics super hero movie. Except for batman that's a limited audience. It's a critique based on majority of populous. Would you take a girl to see it on a first date, not even if she was a geek. Would you say it's even in the top of it's genre? No. Would you say it's one of the best movies of the year? Probably not. And you're the target audience. Imagine you weren't.
@BetaJackMaxis We DON'T want comic book movies to end. We want them to keep going, but Hollywood shouldn't abuse them in their own ways. Comic book movies/hollywood movies should be more democratic with the fans. This would result in 90% less shit being crapped out of strict executive's asses. Christopher Nolan knows what fans want and he makes good movies out of it, but studio executives should let experienced people take full control of movies, not themselves.
@etiscool1 dont say that i might be for the dc universe but never marvel they have never fucked up a movie also i enjoyed green lantern a lot but the start was not too good but the rest was brill.
@ADour1996 Avengers wins, cause Justice League is gonna be rushed, Batman, cause he is DC's one trick pony, and Ghost rider, cause... we forget who the last one is...
@TheAshenian I know Batman and Batman Returns were terrible and that Superman Returns was good. Two were far fetched and defied logic and the other was filled with symbolism, and had a plot that made sense and characters that acted accordingly to their situation.
no green lantern sequel... sorry, Warner Bros just cancelled the plan for a sequel... and I was so hoping for a Justice League. Oh well, just reboot it in the next 5 - 8 years with a different director and he'll be fine...
@HeroOrGod I hear ya. They shoulda stuck to one shade of green throughout the entire movie, instead of different shades. (Yes. I am serious. One seen the mask was emerald green, and even in similar lighting, it was sometimes a dark green.)
@HeroOrGod The end fight scene was just dissapointing... I thought he was gonna do something epic like get swallowed up by the entity, then overcome it from within... Not just logically blast it into the sun... That just didn't give the entire "You have the power to overcome fear" feel. Left me hungry. Speaking of which... *goes to eat a sandwhich*
Berlanti, a man who had never written a comic in his life (I don't know if he's even read any of the comics) and who directed Life As We Know It, which was horrible even the standards of romantic comedies. WTF, DC!!! If you want the movie to be successful, have somebody who knows the character and who has had at least some experience writing comics to write the script. Why didn't Geoff johns write the script? He's only the guy who's been writing the GL comics for the last 6 years.
Ok, the major reason why I see DC movies underperforming compared to Marvel movies (with the exception of Batman) is that while Marvel has an entirely separate organ writing and producing their movies for them, Marvel Entertainment, which is staffed with people who have intimate knowledge of these characters, DC does not. Take Thor as an example. Thor was written by J. Micheal Straczynski, who wrote one of the best runs in the Thor comics. Green Lantern, on the other hand, was written by Greg...
OK, I'm gonna be honest. While Green Lantern was an OK movie, it was definitely not what I wanted out of it. I'd give the movie maybe a 3 out of 5 stars, but what I wanted was 5 out of 5. Hal Jordan is like my favorite comic book character ever and I think that the Green Lantern are the best out there, so as you could imagine I was really disappointed that it was translated into a so-so movie. I think it can still be saved, but WB and DC have to fix some mistakes first...
Look guys, Green Lantern was not a horrible failure. It made $219 million and that's a respectable haul for a character that non-comics fans know nothing about. And the film itself was pretty good. It stayed true to the spirit of the comics and Ryan Reanolds was a likeable and believable hero. Where WB fails is always abandoning franchises after one film. Daredevil got a follow up and so did Fantastic Four, despite not being the biggest hits. WB needs to learn from that if they want to compete.
@bartsimpson83 I was about to respond with "Wait, Daredevil never got a follow up." then I was forced to remember that the Elektra movie still exists.
If Green Lantern had been released five years ago we would have raved, unfortunately it was released in a year competeing with two of Marvel's greats. Lets hope the sequel has more Sinestro!
I think overall Marvel makes better movies than DC just like MAC makes better computers than PC. Granted DC did have the batman movies but thats about all they really had. 2 movies. All the way in 2008. In about a 1 and a half year period marvel had Ironman 2, Thor, X Men, and Captain America, which all were strong titles. The only movie that DC had was that pathetic Green Lantern Movie and Watchmen before that.
@genemc777 yeah but watchmen was better, truer to the source material, and had a more cohesive storyline than all of the marvel movies, and released a four hour long extended edition which blew us nerds out of the water with excitement, so that's still major points in my book.
Ya know, ta tell ye the truth, I never really saw "Green Lantern" in the first place, just clips, promos, and trailers, and I'm waiting for it to come out on DVD so I can see what's really like.
Well guys, i don't know about you, but i believe it was a pretty enjoyable movie. My expectations were satisfied. It's not The Dark Knight obviously, but as a Super Hero movie i think it's good. It's not perfect, and i noticed like little 2 plot holes, but i think it's better than The Green Hornet. I still have my hopes on the second one. Only seeing Sinestro in the movie made me very Happy, i NEED to see him as the villian in the next one... If there is a next one.
They spent WAY too much time establishing Hal Jordan as a colossal screw-up in need of some adulthood. We had that established when they cast Van Wilder. And really? The most evil thing Mr. Giant-Mutant-Head could do was get back at his daddy issues with a little patricide? How uninventive. It wasn't the WORST movie I ever paid 15 bucks to see but it definitely wasn't worth what I did pay.
I'm sorry, but of all the superhero movies that came out this summer, Green Lantern was last on my list. Not that it wasnt somewhat enjoyable, it's just not as good as the Marvel movies. I liked X-men best, followed by Thor and Captain America which I thought were kind of equal. and then there's GL, which was good, just not up to standard.
I thought it was good...nothing like the dark knight or xmen first class but it didnt deserve all those rotten tomatoes nor did it deserve to lose warner bros 23 million dollars
All of the acting was solid (extra points go to Mark Strong), but the writing, directing, and facial CGI were really, really lame. Sorry, GL. Maybe they'll improve for the sequel?
Meh. The plot was trite, the character was blander than gerber's, and it was generally squicky. The special effects kicked ass, yes, but were greatly outweighed by a frightening amount of melodramatically predictable dialogue. There was no dimension in the characters, either. So goddamn banal and cliche!
Also: the guy in the neon tights always gets the girl. Once, just once, could the guy in the tacky-as-all-hell neon tights get the guy?
Is that the Marvel Select Thor figure? I've got all of the Marvel Selects, and that Thor looks pretty familiar. I've got a question: How come the base for the Deadpool figure has only one peg for his feet. I don't usually use the bases, but I can't get him to stand up otherwise. This is just a general question seeing as how the Deadpool figure you use isn't the Marvel Select line? Which line is it?
Thing is, Marvel is pumping out the movies one after the other, while DC is taking its time. And i actually liked Green Lantern. Not as good as Batman, Thor or Captain America. But i found it more enjoyable then XMen First Class and superman returns
@cbrown8862 lol superman returns.....the best thing abouot that movie was the trailer......in fact the trailer is better then the movie. the trailer is epic...the movie is a failure, and lets not forget they tryed to seed superboy into the mix.
i liked it, they could have made it a little better but hey, its hollywood, atleast they didn't make it like batman and robin

@BetaJackMaxis We DON'T want comic book movies to end. We want them to keep going, but Hollywood shouldn't abuse them in their own ways. Comic book movies/hollywood movies should be more democratic with the fans. This would result in 90% less shit being crapped out of strict executive's asses. Christopher Nolan knows what fans want and he makes good movies out of it, but studio executives should let experienced people take full control of movies, not themselves.

@TheAshenian I know Batman and Batman Returns were terrible and that Superman Returns was good. Two were far fetched and defied logic and the other was filled with symbolism, and had a plot that made sense and characters that acted accordingly to their situation.

Berlanti, a man who had never written a comic in his life (I don't know if he's even read any of the comics) and who directed Life As We Know It, which was horrible even the standards of romantic comedies. WTF, DC!!! If you want the movie to be successful, have somebody who knows the character and who has had at least some experience writing comics to write the script. Why didn't Geoff johns write the script? He's only the guy who's been writing the GL comics for the last 6 years.
rzeitouneh 4 months ago
Ok, the major reason why I see DC movies underperforming compared to Marvel movies (with the exception of Batman) is that while Marvel has an entirely separate organ writing and producing their movies for them, Marvel Entertainment, which is staffed with people who have intimate knowledge of these characters, DC does not. Take Thor as an example. Thor was written by J. Micheal Straczynski, who wrote one of the best runs in the Thor comics. Green Lantern, on the other hand, was written by Greg...
rzeitouneh 4 months ago
OK, I'm gonna be honest. While Green Lantern was an OK movie, it was definitely not what I wanted out of it. I'd give the movie maybe a 3 out of 5 stars, but what I wanted was 5 out of 5. Hal Jordan is like my favorite comic book character ever and I think that the Green Lantern are the best out there, so as you could imagine I was really disappointed that it was translated into a so-so movie. I think it can still be saved, but WB and DC have to fix some mistakes first...

Look guys, Green Lantern was not a horrible failure. It made $219 million and that's a respectable haul for a character that non-comics fans know nothing about. And the film itself was pretty good. It stayed true to the spirit of the comics and Ryan Reanolds was a likeable and believable hero. Where WB fails is always abandoning franchises after one film. Daredevil got a follow up and so did Fantastic Four, despite not being the biggest hits. WB needs to learn from that if they want to compete.

I think overall Marvel makes better movies than DC just like MAC makes better computers than PC. Granted DC did have the batman movies but thats about all they really had. 2 movies. All the way in 2008. In about a 1 and a half year period marvel had Ironman 2, Thor, X Men, and Captain America, which all were strong titles. The only movie that DC had was that pathetic Green Lantern Movie and Watchmen before that.
genemc777 5 months ago
@genemc777 yeah but watchmen was better, truer to the source material, and had a more cohesive storyline than all of the marvel movies, and released a four hour long extended edition which blew us nerds out of the water with excitement, so that's still major points in my book.

Well guys, i don't know about you, but i believe it was a pretty enjoyable movie. My expectations were satisfied. It's not The Dark Knight obviously, but as a Super Hero movie i think it's good. It's not perfect, and i noticed like little 2 plot holes, but i think it's better than The Green Hornet. I still have my hopes on the second one. Only seeing Sinestro in the movie made me very Happy, i NEED to see him as the villian in the next one... If there is a next one.

They spent WAY too much time establishing Hal Jordan as a colossal screw-up in need of some adulthood. We had that established when they cast Van Wilder. And really? The most evil thing Mr. Giant-Mutant-Head could do was get back at his daddy issues with a little patricide? How uninventive. It wasn't the WORST movie I ever paid 15 bucks to see but it definitely wasn't worth what I did pay.

I'm sorry, but of all the superhero movies that came out this summer, Green Lantern was last on my list. Not that it wasnt somewhat enjoyable, it's just not as good as the Marvel movies. I liked X-men best, followed by Thor and Captain America which I thought were kind of equal. and then there's GL, which was good, just not up to standard.

Meh. The plot was trite, the character was blander than gerber's, and it was generally squicky. The special effects kicked ass, yes, but were greatly outweighed by a frightening amount of melodramatically predictable dialogue. There was no dimension in the characters, either. So goddamn banal and cliche!
Also: the guy in the neon tights always gets the girl. Once, just once, could the guy in the tacky-as-all-hell neon tights get the guy?
Oh, and the 3D sucked ass.

Is that the Marvel Select Thor figure? I've got all of the Marvel Selects, and that Thor looks pretty familiar. I've got a question: How come the base for the Deadpool figure has only one peg for his feet. I don't usually use the bases, but I can't get him to stand up otherwise. This is just a general question seeing as how the Deadpool figure you use isn't the Marvel Select line? Which line is it?
