Green Lantern has finally hit theater screens across most of the world and with it's general reaction from fans and critics alike being mediocre to say the least. Artist Jerad Marantz has posted via his blog some very amazing concept art that he drew up for the big screen adaption of the DC comics hero. Some of which looks absolutely stunning and would've looked even better had it made it's way into the finished product.

Pretty cool stuff. Too bad they went the Galactus-cloud route for Parallax.

Not a chance in hell of being DC's Iron Man, there's nothing cheesy about Iron Man where as Green Lantern is classic cheesy with the crazy green constructs, rhyming Oath and goofy aliens with giant lanterns.

The reason Iron Man was a success from scratch was because it was plausable, it's simply a suave scientist with an IQ the level of Einstein x 2 in a suit based in technology people can swallow. Green Lantern asks you to regress to 12 year old kids level to find the entertainment of seeing giant green objects being made from a magic ring!

DC just pitched that whole concepts at the wrong age, If they aimed it at the 8 to 14 year olds then they'd have had a huge hit on their hands. No chance in hell it would appeal to a mature audience with all that cheese attached!

The art department seriously did an incredible job on this film, its a shame the writing and direction didn't keep up
to those standards

@ Grif, Yeah i haven't heard anything of the sort. It's pretty rare that movies actually come out with one. Usually its because fans didn't find the movie all that great. Maybe they'll do that just to try and earn some money back and convince people the movie will be better the second time around.

Nobody mentioned a directors cut yet. It's just some fans way of hoping that something good will come out of this film

parallax looked rubbish in the movie and rubbish in those concept drawings. there is no way on this green earth (no pun intended) the general audience (the people that count) were ever going to connect to a villian that is so alien looking. even ET, davey jones, gollum and the transformers are somewhat humanoid.

Like every other movie to come out this summer, I actually prefer a lot of the concept art over the final product.

I saw Green Lantern and it was NOT the WORST comic book film of all time as to what people are saying. Critics ripped this movie so bad for unecessary reasons. The movie lacked direction and was poorly edited. But none the less was a prety fun experience. Me personally believe that a differnet director should have been chosen. Martin Campbell is a great director but you can tell that he was out of his jurisdiction. The scenes on OA was spectacular and should had been more than ten minutes. Green Lantern should had focused on space for 3/4 of the film. Sinestro was way under used and should had established more of a relationship with Hal and some characters just felt useless (Amanda Waller, Kilowog, Tomar Re, and sadly Sinestro) Acting wise no complaint. Ryan Reynolds pulled off a great Hal Jordan and made this movie bearable. Blake lively did a great Carol Farris and the hate towards her being casted as Carol just seems to be some peoples personal vendetta against her. Mark Strong and Peter Sarsgarrd were excellent in their roles but as I mentioned before just felt under used but was potrayed perfectly. On the visual side I was fairly impressed the CGI improvements were shown in the final cut when comparing it to the first trailer but in a sequel WB should definetly consider WETA for the CGI. And thus I give Green Lantern a 3.5 out of 5. A great fun film but just did not live up to what it was suppose to be. Lets hope the sequel will have a major overhaul.

Sixth picture down {a Guardian?}, hate to be behind him in a line, his ass is lateral to his head. lmfao.

I wonder why the film was scaled down, it could have been so epic and actually frightening. C'mon, the director was [frick]ing Martin Campbell! Why'd we have to get a comedy?

Concepts almost all the time look better than the final product. Hated Kilowog's symbiote suit in the film, I understand that his anatomy is different from Hal, but jeez, could the film look anymore artificial.

I enjoyed my experience during the midnight premiere though.

As I've said numerous times, I never followed Green Lantern a lot, but have the jist... But, I thought Parallax looked pretty groovy. I know they went a different route than the source, but I thought it looked pretty cool nevertheless... I was worried about the amount of comedy this movie would have, but I didn't think they over-did it. Actually seems toned down from what we could usually expect from Ryan Reynolds (who I think is a good actor, and was a good choice for Hal Jordan... I think Bradley Cooper would've been better)...

The director had a interview posted on here saying they would like to of had far more space scenes but ran out of money. Christ he had to get all those extra millions just to fix what they had done.

Spent all there money on the CGI suits :P

Those are some nice bits of concept art, I didn't like the movie version of Parallax, but Kilowog looked cool.

Saw the film last night, and dare I say it, I don't think its as bad as some people are making out, admittedly it was missing out on some bits like a decent score and music to get you into the film, and yes the story felt slightly rushed at times and had a few holes in it but it was a good summer popcorn movie, and will definitely get a sequel I reckon. Which will hopefully be more up to par now they have got the main bits of the story out of the way.

@cable23. Wise words sir! My exact opinion

You know why a lot of you didn't like the film because you probably watched every tiny piece of footage and trailer that came out and had seen half the movie already. So you went in with such high expectation and half the movie watched already.

I seen one trailer and that was it. I went into the movie and loved it. I had no expectation and only one trailer under my belt.

So its your own fault you hated the movie, not the creators.

@billnye69

You are just saying you have no standards. The movie had an awful shorthanded way of going about the story. The villain design was godawful. The jokes were not funny. Hal wasn't at all likable til midway through. The effects were mostly crap. Peter Saarsgard screamed like a girl throughout. Blake Lively was wooden as hell. And what they did to Sinestro, after spending such quality time with him, in the post-creds scene was criminal.
The story was bad, the visuals were bad, the acting was bad, the directing was bad, the writing was bad, the makeup was bad, the music was shit.

What exactly did you love about it?

It still could've worked if the entire production crew hadn't done such piss-poor work all around the movie. Lazy crap

I really like the musical score to GL: it's atmospheric, a hybrid of toned-down orchestral melodic themes and synth with bits of heavy metal for Hal's young, cocky charisma, it's lighthearted and contains variations of leitmotifs: Joker's from TDK for Parallax (ticking), John Williams' Superman five-note motif which is slightly changed in order to apply it to Green Lantern, whose theme, I'd say, is actually contained in the end of Genesis of good and evil and in the beginning of We're going to fly now, and is about joy of flying, absolute freedom in this newly discovered vast space. Tell me it's not great.

But it's actually interesting how composers are trying to subtly employ some of the preexisting musical themes from various CBMs which we are supposed to have linked to certain characters by now, in order to remind us subconsciously to those characters so we could accept the new ones which exist in the same cinematic universes more easily. In X-men First Class OST I heard somewhere Hulk's motif from TIH score, and in Thor OST, in a piece called The Compound which is about Hawkeye, there's a russian folklore-wannabe theme similar to one that was used somewhere in IM2 OST, which I figured was there to remind us that Hawkeye and Black Widow were connected in feeling the movies' music gives them. Also there I think I heard something similar to another theme used in TIH OST. In other words, music is being subtly used to emotionally bridge the gaps beetwen Marvel's movies, probably so that they would all feel that much closer, once they are all intersected in The Avengers.
