The Official Green Lantern Review Thread - Part 3

[KalMart]

I can't believe I've lived long enough to hear Portman and Alba referred to as MILFs. Me = old.

I was thinking the same. Where does the time go?

My view of Vaughn dropped dramatically when I heard his interviews during the XMFC promotion. Talk about judgmental.

I thought it was really ridiculous when he started talking about how much better his X3 would have been. Ok then, Mr. Vaughn, why didn't you make it?

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

And Matthew Vaughn was a dick during all of interviews about First Class about saying he doesn't give a sh!it about continuity. Then he said he hated the costumes of the X-Men trilogy, but said he love Singer's two films...which is pretty confusing seeing as how the leather costumes were in all three films. Vaughn just became a kiss ass, a dick and a *****e all during the post-production of First Class.

Despite my love for First Class i'm glad it's underperforming because Vaughn needs to shut-the-hell-up bashing any and everything. He's a freakin jerk.

I couldn't agree more.

I'm glad I'd not the only one who is tired of the rudeness. It Mr. Vaughn's fault that X3 turned out the way it did as he is the one who dropped out at the last minute. Ratner had very little time to get that film together so he takes far too much slack for it.

Glad to hear you liked it. Just so we can get some perspective, how do you rank this movie against the superhero movies of the past two or three years?

Honestly, this was the most fun I've had at the theater with a CBM. Batman Begins was fantastic, Watchmen was epic, Thor was fun, but I think GL is better than those movies.

I haven't seen First Class yet, but I highly doubt it'll top GL for me.

Do you work for or are paid by WB kidding . Its nice to see some liking it.

Haha, I wish, but no. I'm just a very happy Green Lantern fan.

As far as Jessica , I have had a thing for her since Dark Angek , Just gorgeous as is Portman .

Because he didn't want to be a Fox yes man like Ratner?

 

[Anno_Domini]

He would've been one if Singer wasn't a producer, imo.

 

[Chewy]

Because he didn't want to be a Fox yes man like Ratner?

Then his X3 wouldn't have been any better, because he wouldn't have been allowed any more freedom than Ratner.

I gotta seriously ask this, why are some fans ok with a poor first film?

You gotta defend the ones you love.

 

[AndrewGilkison]

He was being a *****e for *****e sake. It's not shocking though as more and more fratboy directors and comicbook writers have started to do it.

People bashed Brett Ratner but I thought that Matthew Vaughn was way more in the wrong when he attacked X3. That dude who attacked Jones acting in X-Men: First Class was also being a complete dick.

People these days have no freakin class.

I don't see anything wrong with what Mark Millar said. Why shouldn't he be allowed to say the same thing a lot of other people are saying about the Green Lantern movie, if that is really how he feels about it? Writers/directors have opinions about movies like everyone else, why shouldn't they be allowed to express them like everyone else can? It is america, afterall.

That's the thing though, all they are doing is justifying poor film making by accepting what's been presented to them.

Imo, and this isn't just denial, this was no where near a poor film. It's everything I expected it to be and more.

Yeah I'm not really seeing the problem.

Millar probably likes GL and feels that this entire ordeal has been a giant wasted opportunity.

 

[rogue trooper]

I just came back from seeing it and I truly enjoyed it. I thought Reynolds was a likeable Hal Jordan. Mark Strong brought a pretty strong presence as Sinestro. Blake Lively was a bit of a casualty, on the other hand. The special effects were overall very well done. I do wish we could have seen a little bit more action in Oa, but nothing to fuzz about either.

If you enjoyed Thor, I don't see why you shouldn't enjoy this one.

8/10

Truth. If this movie is successful exactly as it is, why would they work harder to make a better sequel?

Have you writen a review yet JMC?

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

I will support this film just so maybe I can get a good Wonder Woman movie since even if this film did excellent number I know they would have to overhaul a lot of things going down the line.

That's the best question I've heard in this thread. I'm curious to find out too.

Again...you have to defend the ones you love. We all do it to some extent.

Heck, if I, as a kid, were the equivalent of a movie...GL would be a major step up, if you ask my folks!

 

[SuperDaniel]

Because it wasnt a poor film.

It's because he's a "celebrity" type(at least he has work that people buy), so he gets put on a pedestal like other known people and has to be perfect.

Personally I like it when these people actually say what they feel and give their true opinions. Most people around here are just super sensitive and like it when one celebrity has his tongue up another celebrity's *** just to look good.

He said it was a crap film and from the sounds of it...it is.

I'm waiting for the film to pop up online.

Yeah, but he's Scottish ...or something....

Only real Americans get to abuse their rights as Americans.
