Well, a bit of a surprise here I think. I expected you guys to go a bit easier on the movie, but not THIS much easier. 32.13% of you chose the third option and felt it was good but could have been better. But it seems 26.10% think that Green Lantern was one of the best CBMs we have ever seen. I agree completely. I agree, provided we class Catwoman, Elektra, Ghost Rider, Spawn and Jonah Hex as among the best, GL most certainly comes out on top.



Here are the results in full..



Will this motivate you to give Green Lantern another watch? Here is my take on the movie if you're Interested

Terribly low standards. I'm in shock that there are that many people who said it's amazing. It's surprising that that many pople even said very good. Anyone who is actually satisfied with this movie fails to grasp the potential of what it should have, and easilly could have been. Itsjustsomerandomguy probably put it best.

Ryan Reynolds doesn't have what it takes to carry an entire movie. He should never have a lead role, supporting actor at best.

I was very happy with the movie. Most of us have a certain story in our mind and think that it is the perfect movie and everything else, since it wasn't our idea, is crap. We are wrong, most of us. My fave story/movie for Green Lantern just won't work. That's why I don't make movies I guess. Maybe I can come up with something for Aquaman.

Haters gonna hate. Green Lantern was not the greatest cbm but it was absolutely not the worst! It was just in the middle. The sequel will be however one of the GREATS!

@Warkiller - I hope it does so. It probably will. It hasn't been released internationally yet so we have to wait and see.

They should get a new director, Matt Reeves or JJ Abrams. Two writers not a thousand different nimrods. That would be about right!

It was a very cool movie, I'll be buying the DVD. Maybe Blu-Ray if I have a PS3 by then.

WTF the people who choose "Amazing one of the best CBM we have had" are fools. yes the movie was fun and all but the film was done bad.

@marvel72

someone needs to tell them of at comic-con

I'd say it was on a par with Superman Returns. Not an amazing film, but not as bad as people make it out to be. It's better than a pop corn flick, but not by much. It was better than the Fantastic 4 films, X3, and all the ones Ror listed above, but there are a lot of better ones.

@Berger I hope we get a sequel, there's no point rebooting everything that doesn't go as well as hoped. Just make a sequel that blows the first one out of the water

just watched it,very cheesy and not in a fun way,i didnt think there was one thing good about it,especially the soundtrack,cgi and voice overs,they all sounded so cheap and throwback,and once again not in a good way.

I just saw this movie yesterday and I didn't think it deserved the pounding its getting. And thats coming from someone whos a total Marvel guy. But it wasn't great either. Perhaps its because my expectations were so. 7 out of 10.

it was ok. it couldve been a lot better though. to me it just seemed to drag too much. it wasnt the worst cbm, but it definitely wasnt the best. i think it had the potential to be great but just didnt turn out that way. there was no character development really and the cg was just cheaply done imo. good movie but wish i wouldve waited for dvd
CBMfan001
CBMfan001 - 6/25/2011, 10:08 AM
i voted good but could have been better,but reality is it's not heating up the box office,it was far more better than fantastic four movies or wolverine which audience gave $154 million & $179 million respectively,but well that is how this business goes.

i don't think that the audience cares much for critics,in that case Hancock,transformers 2 can't earn huge money.they will watch a movie with a big star or a movie where the first one was done great,the problem for GL was it didn't have a huge star and been the 1st in the franchise didn't give it's top quality/A class film like Iron man did,pity becoz if it did that then whatever came later on would have been hits,that's where it went wrong(eg - iron man2,transformers 2,pirates,matrix reloaded etc)

though to be honest i really wonder even if it got around 75% of critics approval in RT still it would be big because when i see x-men first class gross it feels sad that it will end up below wolverine which was a horrible movie.Also incredible hulk which was a good movie earned only $134 million and became a flop,so what people watch or don't watch i don't really get but it's not based on quality always coz so many shitty movies have done well in bo and better movies compared to them,but not great,(true)have done worse.

ok so I liked it but I deffinetly though that x-men first class was better.

Maaaaaan this is bad... really bad for future WB/DC CBMs. either 1,152 go to sleep in GL PJs or they absolutely know squat about how much source material the useless writers had to create a truly EPIC CBM!! The useless writers were even braggin that it was gonna be the 'star wars' of superhero movies!! WTF!! and with 1,152 on their side they'll actually argue that they did good work!!

I liked it, but as with all book/comic book/cartoon/video game/etc. adaptation movies I went in with low expectations. I will get it on dvd though when the price is right... (hello $5 clearance bin...)
