5 Bad-ass reasons Green Lantern is gonna rock

#5 - Respect for the Fans

It's hard to make a film adaptation when there is almost seventy years of source material to choose from. We all know that certain compromises have to be made because certain things don't translate well from the comic book to the screen, but the writers of the Green Lantern did a damn good job of respecting their source material. The film centers around Hal Jordan, the best-known Green Lantern, and his origin story stays respectfully accurate to the comics. Hal is a test pilot, which is a huge part of the entire script, and his willpower is the driving force of the entire movie. The writers also managed to craft a great story where other key characters in the Green Lantern universe have great roles. Abin-Sur is a big part of the film's first act, Thaal Sinestro, Tomar-re and Kilowog get good screen time as well.

When it comes to villains, well, I'll get to that later. But don't worry, the fans will be happy. There are also great cameos that will be nods for the fans including a quick glimpse of a football coach with the name "Gardner" on his back, and a mother of a reveal at the end of the film that I wouldn't dream of spoiling. It always makes me happy when writers include things in the script that only the fans will understand. There are plenty of badass moments in this film that will only be amazing to a smaller audience who has the knowledge of years of comic books. So if you were one of those people who got chills during Iron Man when Col. Rhodes saw the Mark II armor and muttered, "Next time baby" get ready for some spine tingling chills during Green Lantern. These writers have done a damn good job staying close to the heart of the Green Lantern universe. Don't be worried about "organic webshooter-like" departures from the comics in this.

#4 - A Killer Dogfight

Look, airplanes fighting other airplanes is badass. Dogfights just look cool. And in this movie, damn do we get a cool one. Hal Jordan's a test pilot and we all know he's supposed to be a damn good one. In this movie we're going to get plenty of flying goodness. So get ready for a scene in the first act of the film where Hal goes head to head with three other fully automated and unmanned "Sabre-Jets." It's like a chess match between a grandmaster and three super-computers at Mach 1 with missiles and bullets instead of bishops and pawns. Hopefully the filmmakers will be able to pull off the same level of excitement on screen that there is in the script. I'm trying to think of dogfights that aren't awesome. Sure, Stealth wasn't Oscar material, but when they were in the sky, everything was just so damn cool. So get ready to add Green Lantern to the list of movies that have a sweet arial showdown between billion dollar hunks of metal.

#3 - Power Rings

Of course this was going to contain power rings! It wouldn't be a Green Lantern movie without them. But after reading the script, DAMN, the things that the power rings do are awesome. While we still have a long time until that glorious moment when we see a trailer and see what they actually look like, I can assure you that the the things the rings DO are amazing. And yes, I said rings, plural. Start drooling now.

Hal will be summoning plenty of badass things from his ring including the classic green fist. But we also see nets, and tons of different weapons. Not to mention plenty of sheer blasts of energy, and one point in the script when Hal creates an entire city from the ring. It's a ring of seemingly limitless power, and we get to see tons of examples of it right from the beginning of the movie. Within the first fifteen minutes of the movie, we get to witness a battle between Abin-Sur and the most bad ass character in the whole script (I'll get to that next). The fight is going to be amazing. Ring blasts, shields, grabbing asteroids with the ring and slamming it around are all part of it, and as far as this movie goes, it's a mini-fight. The rings are the coolest things in this movie, as they certainly should be.

#2 - Legion

So let me get this straight. Legion is essentially the polar opposite of everything that is the Green Lantern Corps wrapped up in one golden yellow monster? Sign me up. Legion is so badass in this that my mind has a hard time wrapping itself around it. Imagine if you took every scary bad guy and combined them into one terrifying motherf**ker covered in armor. He's Predator, Jaws, Alien, Mordred (from Stephen King's "Dark Tower" series), and an octopus all rolled into one. He's described as the size of a whale with the grin of a shark and tentacles of an octopus. Sounds a little cheesier than scary. Until I think back to any video I've ever seen of an angry octopus that kills everything - then give it a shark mouth and lethal blasts of yellow energy. When you see the concept art of this guy you're going to wet your bed for a week.

Legion spends all of his time on-screen killing. That's all he does. At one point you think he might take a break, but after lulling his prey into a false sense of security, he lashes out and destroys everyone. Legion is such a badass, that a splinter of his armor that gets separated from him creates the Earth-based villain. So if a splinter of this thing is capable of creating an evil telekinetic madman, I can't even imagine the level of evil that Legion is capable of. He is the reason that grown men might need to wear diapers to this movie.

#1 - Epic Battles

After reading this script, I can't stress enough how magnificently HUGE it is. Green Lantern comics have always dealt with far more than just our measly little "Earth problems." So why limit our fights between on super powered good guy and one super powered bad guy? So the writers went with the approach of including epic battles that could cause a popcorn shortage when this movie comes out. The best part is the scale of these fights. Hal Jordan isn't the only one fighting in this movie. The entire Green Lantern Corps joins in to fight Legion. So everything you imagined Hal Jordan doing as a Green Lantern is actually multiplied exponentially when you seen hundreds of Green Lanterns fighting at the same time.

The battles in this movie are going to be what you would get if you took the entire Roman Army from the opening battle in Gladiator and gave each of them a ring of limitless power, then took every member of the Barbarians they fought against and wrapped them into one huge and terrifying motherf**ker (see above), and decided to have a half hour battle. Green Lantern deserves a galactic canvas on which to paint his badass-ness, and this script definitely delivers one. 2010 needs to get here. NOW!​

Spoiler

Sinestro never becomes a villain, he references fear a little, tries to get the guardians to wield it, but he never comes across as an obvious "I'm going to overthrow you all muahaha!" type guy, which was such a relief.
As far as I can tell right now it sounds like they're saving his betrayal for the second movie. Sinestro and Hal became perfect partners towards the end of the script, which I hope will make his inevitable turn even more surprising for the general audience. Even if he is a purple guy called Sinestro with a classic evil moustache.

Abin Surs ring circles the planet searching for a replacement, it flies into the Daily Planet and past a spectacled journalist, then it passes over a football field and buzzes around a guy with the name "Gardner" stitched onto the back of his jacket.
Gotham is mentioned in a news report, and Hals temples turn grey after a climatic fight, similar to when he became Parallax's host. Let me see... Oh yeah, Fear and Willpower are talked about, rather than just being shoved under the carpet and referred to as "yellow and green energy", Hope even gets a brief mention. Alan Scott turns up at the end, has a fair amount of dialogue and basically gets Hal to think hes the greatest thing on the planet with just a few words.

Spoiler

CBM says that in the scene that was being shot, Hal Jordan is involved in an altercation with a group of bar patrons. He was out to dinner with Carol Ferris (Blake Lively) when he goes outside and is assaulted by several men. Hal then activates his ring, which knocks one of the assailants into a parked car with a giant fist.

Scene was in the script.
This is good news.
Hopefully the rest of the script made it through.

yea its great to hear how things are going with filming also i heard at another board they were filming at some school yesterday or today.

 

[cerealkiller182]

In every pic I see of Reynolds, I swear to god I see the tiniest hint of gray by his sideburns.

Tell me I'm not the only one who sees this.

Honestly, it looks like its only in the shots where he is beat up. Dirt maybe?

 

[Octoberist]

there's no grey. he must be nuts.

question for you all:

I'm assuming that there will be a lot of sets for Green Lantern, and because they have limited resources (Second Line Stages has only 3 soundstages), does that mean they would film all the scenes needed for one set, and then tear it down to build another?

On the other hand, Thor is being filmed on Raleigh Studios which has like..20 soundstages so they can build whatever they want with no worries...

If they are filming in green screen (no pun intended), they could potentially do all of the off world scenes in one studio and matte in the backgrounds. I can not say that is what they are doing though.

 

[Aquaman Forever]

Deadpool would constantly annoy Rorschach. rorschach would lose his mind even more :\

 

[Webhead2006]

yea i think they probably have a few different sets in the 3 studios rooms they have at secondline. Now i think one report said one is some forest set, then other is probably filled with different rooms like hal's apartment, and maybe some offices for ferris air base and all that. Then Say if stuff in space and/or OA is to be all green screen with no real sets then more sets isnt needed.
