Green Lantern 2

[DarkSovereignty]

Yeah I thought it was common knowledge that kids are naturally brain damaged.

 

[Rocketman]

I would not rank this in the same family as, say:

Catwoman
Spider-Man 3
Jonah Hex
X-Men 3: The Last Stand
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Batman & Robin
Daredevil
Elektra
Fantastic Four
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer

^ These would be the absolute worst, in my opinion.

But I would rank it in this family:

Superman Returns
Batman Forever
Spider-Man
X-Men
Iron Man 2
Green Lantern

^ These being "Good"/"Average"/"Okay"/"Decent"

The best superhero movies ever, would consist of these (and I wouldn't rank Green Lantern with them):

Spider-Man 2
X2: X-Men United
Iron Man
The Dark Knight
The Avengers
The Dark Knight Rises
X-Men: First Class

... And so on.

 

[Maximus One]

Oh come on man. Spiderman 3 and X3 weren't THAT bad. I'd actually say that both were about as good as Superman Returns or Iron Man 2

 

[Project862006]

i'd watch x men 3 over green lantern any day of the week

 

[Zionite1]

Ive heard a lot of fans clamoring for a soft rebbotfor GL like Hulk and Ghost rider-problem is Soft reboots dont seem to work for CBMS-Every soft reboot has failed.So I say go for a hard reboot and skip the origin.

I It was disappointing the Geoff Johns forced his material in there when he became head of DC entertainment.

I am really tired of Geoff johns forcing his ideas on Dc.I want him to stay the hll away from Dc movies he has nothing to offer

 

[HR-PUFF&STUFF]

the best reboot ever of any movie is Star Trek II the Wrath of Khan

 

[bullets]

Green Lantern bombed Hulk style and was as tepidly received. The movie was the butt of late night jokes and is seen as an all around failure. There is no way WB would be stupid enough to make a sequel, they might make another film but not a sequel. The few fans of the movie are fooling themselves if they think that Ryan Reynolds and crew will be invited back. Reynolds is going the way of Bana and Routh when it comes to playing a Superhero.

Hulk may have underperformed but the reboot, TIH, was a fantastic film. I know some weren't thrilled over how Abomination was portrayed or other minor things, but overall it was a great film. Ghost Rider....no, it sucked, even compared to the first film.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

^The voice of reason.

Yeah, though I will say this. Eric Bana has had an okay career since Hulk. Routh on the other hand...

 

[Lily Adler]

...played a male nurse boyfriend to a Jack clone on the now thankfully cancelled Will & Grace 2... I mean Partners.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

Yeah, though I will say this. Eric Bana has had an okay career since Hulk. Routh on the other hand...

That's because Bana is ****in' awesome. t:

 

[Edguy]

Spider-Man 3 was a disaster, and Iron Man 2 are leagues ahead of any of those x))

 

[dude stannis]

I PMed this to Doctor Jones and he liked it, so I'm brave enough to put it here. Assuming this film was a success that led to a sequel....

Green Lantern: Emerald Dusk (2014)

Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan/Parallax
Idris Elba as Jon Stewart
Jim Sturgess as Kyle Rayner (You know it would've been Joseph Gordon-Levitt!)
Sean Astin as Guy Gardner
Ving Rhames as Kilowog
and Mark Strong as Sinestro.

Three years after Hal Jordan threw the Parallax gas cloud into the sun, the yellow fear energy has left it severely weakened.

Seeking revenge for the Yellow Lanterns' defeat at the hands of the Sector 2814 Green Lanterns, Sinestro takes the fight to Hal Jordan's home. In the ensuing battle Coast City is destroyed and all it's inhabitants killed. Hal eventually hunts down and kills Sinestro. In his grief stricken state he uses his power ring to recreate Coast City. Although the Guardians appear and attempt to take his ring away from him. He agrees and travels with them back to Oa as a captive. However, he surrendered intentionally, in order to attack Oa ($1 billion in box office right there), adopting the name Parrallax (A spit in the face to the corps because he'd defeated their greatest enemy so easily) and absorbing the Power Battery's power he massacres the Corps on Oa, with Kilowog putting up a brave final stand.

The Sector 2814's arrive at Oa too late to stop the devastation. Their rings receive an SOS signal from a downed Lantern on a nearby planet, however it was an ambush orchestrated by Parallax, the battle comes down to Guy Gardner and Parallax, who savagely beats Gardner within an inch of his life, leaving him comatose. The others manage to temporarily defeat him and escape back to Earth.

Parallax angered, he returns back to Earth where he does battle with the Rayner and Stewart in the ruins of Coast City. Leaving Rayner for dead, it comes down to a severely depowered Stewart and Parallax, but Rayner who was playing possum grabs Parallax in a headlock. Stewart uses the last of his ring's energy to shoot an arrow into Parallax's chest.

In his dying moments, realising what a monster he'd become, he repents his sins and flies into the sun, using the green energy of will power to restart it.

In the post credit sequence, Darkseid learns that there are no more Green Lanterns to protect Earth. He orders his Elite to commence the invasion.

 

[Edguy]

Even though there's a little too much characters and events for one film here, I kind of like it. Could have worked for two or three films! Especially like the Justice League introduction!

 

[dude stannis]

Yeah, a war between the Sinestro Corps is a film in itself really.

 

[SlamAdams]

I'm not holding out much hope for Ryan Reynolds returning to the role, but I honestly wouldn't mind him back in the role. The direction and writing on that first was god awful, but given the right material I think he'd nail it. But again, not seeing much hope in it.

But in the destruction Mongul gets away with many of his Lanterns.

[ComicStalker]

I have been reading a few of the current GL corps and Green Lantern comics of late. And I have come to the conclusion that while the initial idea of someone getting to become a GL and being presented with a ring and Lantern are pretty cool concepts. Thats really about it for interesting story lines with GL. The ring and Lanterns themselves are too Deus Ex Machina for me and it seems that the limits and powers of the rings and lanterns are always being rewritten or stretched to try and create a new story angle...
I do like the green colors tho.

 

[A Necessary Evil]

I still think GL was originally a great film, but WB hacked it up. I recall test screenings being overly positive.

 

[Nathan]

Then they must have hacked up the entire Movie, should that be the case. Because beyond a few scenes here and there, that were actually good, the rest is just forgetful.

 

[GRangerPrimeNYC]

The score for the first film was mediocore.

They should've chose another composer d:

 

[DarkSovereignty]

It's really surprising too, considering James newton Howard is usually a great composer, I loved his work on Peter Jackson's King Kong.

 

[Doc Ock]

I think the score was decent, and sometimes better than the film itself.

 

[the last son]

James Newton Howard work on The Last Airbender was beautiful. But to GL that movie was horrible. I only saw it once when it came out and I have 0 desire to ever see it again. It is without question the worst comic book movie ever made. Really the only where I won't watch again.

 

[Nathan]

It is without question the worst comic book movie ever made.

You haven't watched enough comic book movies.
