What Do You NOT Want To See In A GL Movie?

[RKO]

In the brightest day....In the darkest knight..

This summer..


Prepare to go green! Dun Dun dun!

 

[Wesley Dodds]

I don't want them to screw around with the Logo.

I don't want any puns or stupid, kids-movie gag's 'Whats'a matter, Sinestro? You Yellow or somethin'?', 'You look green with envy, Jordan!' etc.

I don't want some flavour of the month, hip young rock band to play over the end credits (Watchmen, Spider-Man 2 etc.) Musical Score all the way, folks. Preferably by Howard Shore.

 

[Octoberist]

i don't want any band/rap either. NOt that I'm against them because I love music in general but it can date the movie if it's not done right. If they did an old school Dr. Dre for example, Im fine; Soldja Boi, I'm not.

 

[That-Guy]

I'm cool with Hal being cocky and occasionally cracking a joke, but I don't want to see them make him a walking one-liner just because Reynolds is in the movie. Nothing against him; it's just that he's been funny in a lot of movies and I don't want to see them turn what should be a serious movie into something silly.

I don't really want to see Tomar Re unless they change his look a bit so that he doesn't look like the lovechild of a chicken and The Savage Dragon.

If Guy Gardner shows up, I don't want him to wear those gigantic puffy Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey boots that were part of his costume in the 90's. I also don't want him to have that stupid bowl cut hair. I know I'm nitpicking here...

I don't really want the constructs to look like actual objects, but more as ambiguous shapes that serve a purpose. Not sure how to do this exactly... I guess I just don't really want giant green fists or hammers.

I don't want a Superman cameo. At all.

Come on now. Don't be That Guy....oh, wait. Too late.

What about a reference?

 

[terry78]

Green Day should do the song for the end credits. Because....wait for it.....

 

[protocida]

A bad movie.

No, it just seems so... unnecessary to me. What's the point, really?


Plus, I don't want the film to become the center of contraversy for Superman fans since they can only use one actor for the role. The fans of whoever they DON'T use will be up in arms over the movie. Leave that crap to the next Superman film and leave it the hell out of GL.

It doesn't have to be about an actor at all. All they'd have to do is something like they did with Metropolis in Batman Forever.

I agree that it's pointless, and doesn't really matter, but I couldn't care either way if a mention was made.

 

[Doctor Jones]

It could be. Campbell has a good eye for artists. Like the Bond films, it's not DC or WB's style to but pop music at the end of anything.

That's another reason not to do it, though. I don't want to be reminded of that movie. t:

If they use any kind of popular music, it should be used like Iron Man. Popular music was used, but didn't feel out of place.

 

[Octoberist]

i don't see the problem of mentioning Gotham or whatever in the movie. It's harmless.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea name drops of certain dc cities i see no harm in happening. Its not like they have to say hey this hero/villain is out there. As for that clark kent cameo if its retain i still say just have daily planet and his empty desk and we just missed him. since we have no clue whats going on with superman. and if wb will even still have him in a few yrs.

 

[Octoberist]

personally, if there is a Superman reference, I think it'll just a shot of the Daily Planet or something.

 

[Webhead2006]

or a planet newspaper stand/paper somewhere.

 

[Octoberist]

unless they want to use Routh again OR decides who's the next actor, don't put in a cameo by Supes or Clark.

 

[Webhead2006]

Well i would keep routh out since his contract has expired and we dont know if he will ever be supes again, let alone will they be able to get a supes film in production before that 2011 deadline and then the whole copyright issue on going.

 

[Dark Knight]

I hope the cameo of Clark Kent is shown in the GL film and I hope Routh remains as Clark/Supes.

 

[Dark Knight]

If they use any kind of popular music, it should be used like Iron Man. Popular music was used, but didn't feel out of place.

I think rock or pop music should only be used during the Jet Fighter scenes......

 

[Drakon]

Ehhhhhhhhhh. I think that it would be better to still stick with a orchestral feel overall, even there. I'll concede and say that it wouldn't be the end of the world for me if they decided to freshen it up with a bit of fuzzy guitar, ala the revamped Get Smart theme, though.

 

[AnorexicBatman]

The theme from Top Gun... or Wagner's Ride of the Valkyrie...
Yes... I can SEE music... it's a mutant ability

 

[Doctor Jones]

Be cool to include at least one rock song in there that fit Hal's personality of being brash and ****. Like when he's in the jet. People think it's gonna fail, but he knows it's not.

 

[terry78]

No Nickelback or any of those psuedo-Southern rock types.

 

[Webhead2006]

Yea straight out rock i would be fine with a few songs in the film at different points with the who musical scores too. Then more regular songs in credits/soundtrack.
