Comic Book Writers And Artists Share Their Thoughts On Green Lantern Trailer!

so its mixed aswell,i cant wait to watch this because thats probably the only way i can bury the doubts i have in my head

After next year, Marvel is through.. DC conquers..

"the suit is literally a body wrap...and breathes with him..f--kin amazing!!! it looks awesome!"

Prefer a costume more. The CGI suit looks to fake..

Its a trailer. We saw the immense 'potential'. Green Lantern will deliver next summer.
The CGI isn't even halfway done, its still in development. With 150 millon dollars, WB/DC will create the CGI.
I cant believe people are on and on about the CGI looks terrible. As we clearly saw in the trailer, the CGI at some parts have been done really good while others lack thereof. Why? I dont know actually. I dont know why they did release the trailer in such a short time before the flick is done. I do not doubt for a second that the CGI will look even more breathtaking when it premiers. It will be visually a stunning film and with a lot of serious moments.
I was blown away completely by the trailer!

Its gonna be emerald green next summer!

BMP!

Mixed reactions...as expected.

@ Minotauro whatever u say.

The next thing I want to read that involves Rob Liefeld is that someone smashed his hands with a hammer!

I don't understand why there are SOOOO many people that have to hate on this movie?!? I know we live in a society of arm chair bloggers that would rather critisize and tear something down than build something up, but at least TRY to look at this logically. Hal Jordan is a cocky, fearless ex-air force turned test pilot. He fears nothing, except for the death of his father when he was a child and the distance he's created with his family. Abin Sur crashes down on Earth, the ring searches out a man of great will power and the ability to overcome fear. Hal is inducted into the GL Corps, he trains under Kilowog first, then more specialized training under Sinestro. THAT IS SEEN IN THE TRAILER AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS IN THE CURRENT GEOFF JOHNS "GREEN LANTERN: SECRET ORIGIN"!! The only REAL change to the story here is that instead of having Hector Hammond gain his psychic abilities from a meteor rock from Abin's ship, he is possessed and corrupted by Parallax, which probably IS NOT a bad thing seeing as they're constructing this to be a 3 movie trilogy story. We have 7 months until GL hits theaters, so they are OBVIOUSLY still working on the cgi and special effects. People NEED to realize that the heart of the story IS THERE. We got Hal Jordan. He's going to have the ability to overcome fear. He's going to have his strong will power. He's going to be fighting Parallax. WHAT MORE DO PEOPLE REALLY WANT?!?!?!

And as far as the suit goes: Look at the current Green Lantern comics. Minus the white gloves, the suit is the EXACT same design as it is in the comics. Granted, there is more of an organic texture to it, but look at it this way: In the comics, the suit is generated by the ring and IT GLOWS!!!! Unless you want to see them use the same material they used in Superman The Movie (1978) with the Kryptonian council, then you really can't complain. I was apart of the collective that did not like the suit when I first saw it back in July, but now that we've been given a clearer view of it and seeing how it plays into the story of the Green Lantern movie, I really like it now.

All I'm saying is that this is the first time we're going to be seeing this character in any form of a live-action medium, so we should be damn appreciative of what we're getting, and I think that it's spot on to the comics. I say pick up a couple of the current GL stories, like Secret Origin, Sinestro Corps War, or Green Lantern Rebirth, and you will see that Martin Campbell has stayed very, VERY true to the true essence of the character and what he has become

@xXkryptoniteXx

what u talking about they done special FX for Spider-Man movies, Watchmen and Superman Returns the fx was good. remember they got June to finish the effects anyway

haha the people in the industry are just as nit picky as we are!

Remember how "video game" like the CGI was in the first avatar trailer, but how incredible the visuals were on the big screen?? Same thing applies here. This movie will have amazing special effects that they said they couldn't even have done TWO YEARS AGO. That means top notch special effects are being put into this. Calm down people. Once its up on the big screen, it will be epic

There seem to be 3 types of people here:

1. The Haters
2. The Lovers
3. The wait & sees

I'm a wait & see. But I understand the camps ... The Marvel camp are (in general) the haters. The DC camp are (in general) the lovers **And if you talked about Thor, that would reverse**

WRT this trailer, the goods out-weigh the not so goods. The green in the uniforms seems a little day-glo and the mask and collars look CGI - BUT they'll make them work. Lively is the only thing I'd be concerned about, she seems out of her depth and really really young but...I'll wait and see. She could be stellar.

JAZZ @ Its funny how ppl have short memories of that dude lol!

...an your right!

what a surprise geoff johns likes it.

they should ask stan lee see what thinks.

i don't hate it i want it to be amazing,but its not amazing yet just good.

i think it needs some reshoot's maybe everything blake lively has shot.

i'm gonna watch it because of sinestro,mark strong is a great actor.

you guys should read the comments on youtube & first showing. net they're not good,i'd say 80% of the comments on first showing.net are bad.

-ALL COMPLAINTS ASIDE(BECAUSE WE KNEW THEY WOULD COME OUT) THE MOVIE LOOKS BEAUTIFUL, REMEMBER HATERS(THAT ITS NOT JUST ABOUT THE FX, ITS STORY AND THE COMBO OF THE 2...

@ jazzman

never read the comics or wanting it to be like the dark knight,could be part of the problem.

but i think another problem is it gonna appeal to the genral public,they're gonna want more than just comic fans going to see this movie.

I don't know about the Ben Stiller thing, but that mask does look so WEIRD.
I know it's the classic style, but I think they should have gone bold on this one and maybe stolen the original Kyle Rayner mask, that blocky one. Or maybe fused both.

@ jazzman

that is stupid,but i alot of people think that the dark knight set the benchmark that all comic book movie have to try & topple.
