Martin Campbell And Ryan Reynolds Briefly Address The Negative Green Lantern Reviews!

Man poor Reynolds, shoulda done deadpool...

lmao at the Lebouf comment

Has any one on here seen it yet? Can you provide your opinion and thoughts?

EPIC FAIL DC. [frick] REYNOLDS. EVERYTHING TURNS TO SHIT WHEN YOU HAVE THIS DUDE ON BOARD.

BLADE III
XO: WOLVERINE

and now this. I'm really worried for DEADPOOL. HE SHOULD JUST STICK TO HIS SHITTY ROM COMS.

Am I the only one who always felt like for a Green Lantern movie to be taken seriously it needed to be in the realm of "The Matrix" movies. Many similarities in the Characters of Hal Jordan and Neo. I could have also saw Oa being something like Zion. I feel Hal Jordan and Neo share a basic/universal story....a man who is chosen because of a greatness that is seen inside of him.

The tone should have been the same also...."Matrix" to this day seem to be the only CREDIBLE off the wall sci-fi movie. I think people where drawn to the sense of urgency the story had. I wish people would take the characters more seriously...as hero's the sacrifices their lives for [frick] sake! Can we at least sacrifice some effort for a thought provoking story.

I think it is a very sad day.

I don't trust critics! And now ppl still wanna bash the film off of complete bs! Why can't ppl just be happy wee getting the damn movie instead of complaining! And yes I'm a Dc fan and a Marvel fan.So bcuz ppl got what they wanted myself included you wanna throw a hissy fit? I'll say it once, How many cbm's can you name that critics hated to no degree but WE all loved and made a great deal of money? And honestly I can say 1st Class was a film that I had no expectation's in and I like I'm sure many of you came out surprised while I'm sure others came out pissed off,(and I don't blame them) It still made and continues to make a great of $! So enough with the bashing and no I'm not a troll by any means.Im grateful to finally get a GL movie

If U let bad reviews make up ur mind without seeing the movie urself U need to re-revalute urself as a true comic book fan or as Stan Lee says "True Believer." On that same note if U r a person looking for everything wrong with a film and to go wrong with this film because it is a DC character U really need to re-evalute ur self as a comic book fan. Real comic book fans go see and judge for themselves.

I luv DC & Marvel but I am not into every character from both labels but I go see their movies & will continue to. It seems like yesterday films such as Spider-man & Transformers got ran down by critics & those two films became to of the greatest ever.

I also remember when fans sent threatning emails and letters when Bryan Singer was hired to direct X-men in 2000 & the film became a success.

True CBM fans give movies a chance and the only critic opinion that matters is yours, remember that.

@marvel72, well said, good comment :)

LOL. Just look at Reynolds face. He's look so fking worried!

Maybe a Brit should have played Hal?

If the general word of mouth is very positive from the audience on this movie, then i might not listen to a critic ever again

Check out my review @

fyi-review.com

True comic book fans saw this movie was a fail the day it was announced that Ryan Reynolds was gonna be Hal Jordan. All the spin in the world will not change that.

@Superman83, Cool Review :)

@ Intruder - has a point, if the reviews where high dc we be talking shit, but the same goes for marvel so it's a wash.

As I mentioned in other threads, my personal opinion from reading a few reviews. Which I don't care for them, critics are those that can't make it in the big league (movies, movie business) But I'm getting the feeling the time for the movie isn't right so it sounds like it was crammed up. The actors didn't do a bad job, especially Ryan. A few said he had great Hal Jordan moments and a few RR style moments but he contained it. At the end the movie will make it's money, 2nd will be made and the suits/studio will learn from it's mistake from the 1st one. A new director, that's right for it will take it and the movie will be about 2 hours long. That's my foreseeable future on GL.

Also like I mentioned before this style of comic book flick is also being watched closely by Marvel. Because also wants to tap into their Sci-fi side imo so Marvel fans should hope it does well

I don't do fanboy denial, not since Return of the Jedi turned out to be so shit when I was a kid!

Green Lantern currently tracking 24% rotten on Rottentomatoes site. Only film currently lower is Honey 2 at 6%!

The only three reviews so far from AintItCoolNews regulars Nordling, Quint and Mr Beaks all gave it the thumbs down as a massive disappointment and not even a good film!

7 external reviews posted on this site: Digital Spy, Empire Online, HitFix, The Hollywood Reporter and The News of the World all gave it extremely low marks out of 5..

Digital Spy - 2/5
Empire Online - 2/5
Hitflix - C
The Hollywood Reporter - No score
The News of the World - 1/5

UGO.com's Jason Hoffman gave it a mostly positive review, but then this guy gave the recent biggest flop of the year, PRIEST an -A when the rest of the world called it stillborn and audiences left it for dead at the box office.

Variety gave it a mixed review with the bad outweighing the good!

Village Voice gave a review that was largely unflattering!

Total Film had this to say in its verdict "In a summer stuffed with superheroes, this underwhelming offering will likely leave you jaded. How it could have used some of Thor’s charm and The Green Hornet’s chutzpah."

SuperheroHype gave it 5.5/10 and had this to say in closing "There's sure to be someone out there in the cosmos who enjoys this take on Green Lantern--small children and those without overly-critical tastes in entertainment--but it just fails on so many levels, both as a movie and as a comics adaptation, that it's easily one of the bigger disappointments of the summer."

This is a fanboy only affair, only they will willingly part with their hard earned cash and see an obviously bad movie twice let alone once! They'd better hope the Ben10 generation latch onto this and save it some face at the box office this weekend or there will be no green pastures for a sequel!

Birthright76- "Why can't ppl just be happy wee getting the damn movie instead of complaining!"

Um what??? You want us to be happy to get a shitty film? How does that even come close to make any sense at all??? Uh... how'bout no? How about we'll be happy to get some [frick]ing respect given to addaptations of our beloved comic books, when we actually get it. Does that sound okay to you?

D117- And what about the other half that do know jack squat and still shit on it? How could they all be wrong just because you feel bad reviews aren't fair? Some had shitty arguements, yes. But most were on the money with what they weren't happy with, which were things they should have nailed given the awesome source material they had to work from. When you have actual fans voicing their disappointments, it goes beyond the average film critic.
