Official Green Lantern News & Discussion Thread - Part 5

What theatre chains are you hitting that doesn't have the GL trailer attached to Thor? I saw the first hour of Thor today at 12:30pm at an AMC and they had it.

 

[Spideyfan93]

Was it the new trailer or the one from November? And was it in IMAX 3D? That's where I'm headed in a couple hours.

You mean you didn't stay to finish it?

 

[RoughNTumble]

yeah, and it's still only 21 reviews. It's sure to go down some. I'm guessing it'll rest around 78-80.

thor's currently resting at 80%

did I call it or what!!

 

[Karelia]

Yeah, after seeing Thor, I think 80% sounds about right. Thought it was a great movie. (Had some faults, but what movie doesn't.)

However, I have a good feeling Green Lantern will be the CBM of the year.

 

[Dark Knight]

I want to know how the GL trailer looks in 3D and in IMAX 3D format.

 

[The Batman]

After seeing Thor, I think either GL or First Class might be the best CBM of 2011. I liked Thor and it was 8/10, but it was more "enjoyable entertainment" than "BEST COMIC MOVIE EVAR".

Yes, there really wasn't too much to it but it was enjoyable.

 

[rashad]

I saw the new GL trailer attached to Fast Five.

I was supposed to be back at work. It was my lunch hour.

 

[Solidus]

Ya I liked Thor but I agree. I think it funny that some of the GA are complaining about GL's SFX...when honestly Thor had some pretty shoddy CGI at times. Fun movie but I do think GL will be even better.

But I did enjoy Thor.

So I heard the virals started on this.

 

[jmc]

^ That is a genuinely good point too, Thor's effects are no more impressive than those in the GL trailer, in fact they are down right clunky in some parts, and yet people whine about the CG in GL? Bizarre.

It's because there's a lot more of it.

 

[Sawyer]

Avengers goggles.

 

[TheVileOne]

Nothing in Thor looks as terrible as GL's mask .

The new viral sites should've been out months ago.

 

[Sawyer]

Thanks, Mr. Glass Half Empty.

 

[protocida]

TheVileOne is what would happen if Debbie Downer took downer steroids.

 

[S.A.A.D.]

I have been told that screenings for Green Lantern are apparently awful. This comes from a source who has told the truth about things on more than one occasion.

"I'm not going into exact numbers, but they're below 40 for the young audience and below 25 for the adult audience."

"The same firm that conducts the Transformers' screenings."

"Screenings have been miserable."

The response that is 'bolded' is his answer regarding who his source is.

"Look at this way, the Batman nipple movies had better numbers."

 

[Sawyer]

Could you be a little more vague?

 

[TheVileOne]

There's been the sense that we have a bomb on our hands here for a while.

 

[Sawyer]

Again, with the half empty.

 

[protocida]

^ No, there hasn't.

 

[S.A.A.D.]

Could you be a little more vague?

I asked him "How many screenings have there been for it, and secondly what is exactly wrong with the movie apparently? Is the movie a complete turkey or pretty damn close to it?"

 

[EliteF50]

Sucker Punch also had bad screenings, but I loved that movie.

 

[Sawyer]

....and?
