Review Opinion

Here is the review, from a person who was offered a movie survey to watch a film trailer and give an opinion on it so that it can be perfected! Turns out it was the first Green Lantern Trailer and this guy was a big fan!

I have been waiting for a Green Lantern movie ever since special effects started using CG. I mean come on; GL is the perfect superhero movie for something like this. From what I can tell, it is not going to disappoint. There is one scene in the preview where Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds) makes a giant fist and gives a mob of bad guys a giant right hook. Always a favorite construct, I do hope though we see more complex ones, like a giant f-16 surrounding Hal, always thought it was cool when he did it.

There have been rumors of this movie being like training day with Sinestro (Mark Strong) showing Hal the ropes. Strictly from this preview, I can not say if they are going to do this as I didn’t see one scene with Sinestro in it. I know he is cast and is in the posters, but strictly from the preview, they do not seem to be focusing on him to greatly. I can say the villain in this first one seems to Hector Hammond (Peter Sarsgaard). Not a favorite villain of mine personally, he always creeped me out as the obsessed stalker, but he may work with the direction it looks like they are taking for a genesis story.



This is the one part which has me worried; they look like they are going to portray “The Man Without Fear” as a man who has to overcome fear. Now, I know they of late have been pointing to the fact Hal does have fear he just has the ability to overcome it in the comics, but the one thing about Hal is he never really showed it. There is a conversation he has where he mentions what the ring said about being without fear, and the guy he’s talking to gives him a look and Hal says unsurely, “I know right?” All in all though, I can see how they can use Hector Hammond to have him overcome fear, I mean the guy gets into your head. I just really hope they do not focus too much on him overcoming fear, they need to stay true to Hal’s strong, confident persona.

This said, the chemistry between Hal and Carol Ferris (Blake Lively) seems really good, and the banter seems right on. One thing I have to say about Ryan Reynolds is he plays the cocky, playful romantic well, and seriously, who does not like Blake Lively? One reason I think they casted him in this role in the first place. When it comes to Hal’s love life, he has always seemed to have an air of “I’m Hal, I rock, you know it, let’s have some fun”. To quote Robin from “The Batman” cartoon after he found out his day job, “Even your secret identity is cool!” This is Hal Jordan in a nutshell. This of course translates into other aspects of how Hal deals with his new powers as well. There is one scene where he shows his friend how he changes costume and the conversation goes like this, “That’s cool!” “I know!” “So what do we do now” “Go fight some bad guys?” It is like what would happen if a ten year old, or a frat boy got powers.

All in all, I have to say , this is going to be a must see movie next summer. I know as for me I will be first in line to see it.

"There is one scene where he shows his friend how he changes costume and the conversation goes like this, “That’s cool!” “I know!” “So what do we do now” “Go fight some bad guys?”

I just can't get bhind Blake Lively. She's not attractive and her acting is worse. It's just a poor choice to me. But regardless who the actress is it's still going to be the best movie of the year. Can't wait for it though. Green Lantern is the S**T. This movie is going to be so badass that it is going to tear a hole to hell.

this sounds legit... we shot the scene of Hal showing Tom his suit and it pretty much went like he said... the whole scene is really funny in its entirety...

also, MrDCUniverse: the script was rewritten right before production and the ending was adjusted during shooting...

AlternateNo4 - 11/6/2010, 4:20 PM
actually, i'd agree that it sounds legit. the big fist was in the trailer at ccsd, and hector IS the villain, not sinestro. plus sinny wouldn't appear much in the trailer because his scenes probably aren't done... he was the last guy to shoot, after all. and don't call foul on "the man without fear" slogan, because the REVIEWER used that term, not the movie.

oh, and lay off hassling MrDCU over this... he very clearly stated that he didn't write the review.

and if you're calling bull!@#$ because the guy didn't hate on blake lively, give it up. NOT ONE PERSON on this site has called her a bad actress AFTER seeing her in pippa or the town or anything else legit. people hated on ryan too until they watched amityville, the nines and buried, and now nobody's complaining.

fisT, joker... fisT. not fish. but let me know what you find out about the weed, k? seems like yours is pretty bumpin.

Alternate 4 I didnt see that T lol. My bad. When I say selling weed I just mean all the retards who right stuff like Winey Fanboys because they blame us for getting stuff cancelled that's what I meant. I'm just saying that some of the things people have posted lately are just to retarted to be true.

AlternateNo4 - 11/7/2010, 12:14 PM
haha yeah i knew what you meant, i just couldn't resist needling you about it. but i do see your point. it's everywhere though... every board has whinys, rantys, trolls and raving partisans, and then a few of us that actually like to discuss. that's why i come here instead of political boards—i'm far too biased to engage in a civil political chat. it's safer for me here :)
