I have been a Green Lantern fan since I was 7, when I heard about a Green Lantern film being made I was like "WTF" because I thought it cannot be made. When it came out in June I was like "10 years I finally get to to go see Green Lantern film". I know not many didn't like the movie which starred Ryan Reynolds, Mark Strong, Blake Lively, Peter Sasgaard, Tamuera Morrison. I enjoyed the film which MANY will complain about.
My grandfather grew up reading the Green Lantern comics he was a BIG Green Lantern fan, sadly he passed away last month first of July I took him to go see the movie. He already knew about the Hal Jordan character when we left the movie he gave it a "THUMBS UP", so I saw the movie TWICE.
Warner Bros. is wondering what to do with Green Lantern, the film got mixed reviews and only grossed $225 million at the box office with a $200 million budget. There are rumors going around they "might" make a sequel due to actors Ryan Reynolds, Mark Strong, Blake Lively, voices from Geoffrey Rush as Tomar-Re and Michael Clarke Duncan as Kilawog have signed contracts for 2 MORE Sequels.
Anyways I am going to show 10 reasons each as why it should and should not earn a sequel.
Starting with the good reasons why it should deserve a Sequel
1. The film stayed true to the Hal Jordan character, his origin of becoming a Green Lantern.
2. The film did better at the box office then Cowboys & Aliens.
3. Ryan Reynolds was not that bad as Hal Jordan I say he deserves a second chance as Green Lantern.
4. If a sequel will be made REMOVE Martin Campbell as director.
5. If a sequel would be made GET DIFFERENT writers get Geoff Johns as the sreen writer for the sequel.
6. This one is kind of dumb but I liked the film for havingTomar-Re and Killawog character design as they FIRST appeared in the comics. Which I would like NOT to chage if a sequel was made.
Go look on the internet when Tomar first appeared he had a smaller beak/snout and smaller mohawk fin on his head.
Killawog was ORIGINALLY ORANGE when he first showed up the comics
7. Mark Strong was BADASS as Sinestro.
8. They gave numerous hints for a Sequel.
9. CGI on Oa was GREAT and explaining of why the Green Lantern uniforms look like the way they do on the film.
10. Have MORE SCENES IN Oa.
Reasons why it should NOT make a sequel
1. Got mixed reviews from critics and some fans
2. Martin Campbell going back to Direct
3. If a sequel was made and Sinestro kills Tomar-Re in the first 5 minutes
4. Barely beat it's budget at the box office.
5. Parollax design in the film
6. Blake Lively being involved in the film
7. HowTHE GUARDIANS looked in the film I HATED how they were designed.
8. Reason a sequel shouldn't be made is because of Hector Hammouds nutsack forehead which is ONE of the downfalls for GREEN LANTERN.
9. Sinestro turning bad guy without a reason WHY HE DID IT.
10. Less scenes on Earth or just have more battles on Earth.
Those are my opinions on "IF" Warner Bros. decides to not or make a sequel for Green Lantern I say it deserves a second chance.
Should Warner Bros. make a Green Lantern sequel what should they name the title "IF" they make one sorry I do not know how to make those weird decison things on others posts, news, fancasts, etc.
A. Green Lantern 2
B. Green Lantern Rise of the Sinestro Corps.
C. Green Lantern The Emerald Knights
D. Green Lantern Rebirth or Reborn
I am not really good with movie titles lol if you have any comments just comment below. I am going to post my Superman fancast well mostly a recast for the upcoming Zack Snyder reboot.
