@Tom, I don't know how Captain America will turn out, maybe good or maybe bad. But the difference between Captain America and Green Lantern is that "most" of the effects I've seen so far in Cap look practical. Everything from the suit to the sets look real including the time in which its set in. While with Green Lantern, because of how everything seems to be drizzled in CGi, this could very much lead to conflicting views between people who think it looks okay, and people who thinks it looks terrible.

What did you guys expect any movie that has an embargo until a day or two before the release date means it SUCKS.... Otherwise WB would be advertising all the critical acclaim. Just be happy we have had 2 really good superhero movies this year and another one that could be good as well.

With a 24% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and critics taking a huge steamy dump on this film: I cannot wait to hear the reactions from these guys once they subject themselves to this.

 

I haven't seen the movie yet obviously. But from what I am hearing: it's gearing to be this year's 'Last Airbender': that is so far.

Korey, you would be the Donkey of the Green Lanturn Corp. If we were in danger, you would be in my house and say "I'm not going out there and in the mornin I'm making woffles!"

Yeah, Tom, except for all three of those movies kick ass. And Jumanji is a pretty darkly lined movie if you get over the initial sillyness of it. Directors do, and have, change genres and audiences . Watch Peter Jackson's magnificent epic, Braindead, or Dead Alive over here.

I'm starting to think CA will suck too.  Same director as 'Honey I Shrunk the Kids', 'The Rocketeer' and 'Jumanji'.  Get ready for a kids movie.

I believe some people on this site were a little worried when Warner Bros. purchased Rotten Tomatoes.  But it seems there has been no attempt to bury the bad reviews GL seems to be getting.

@Korey and Cohost

 Istead of making waffles with the ring, MAKE LDT instead.

20% OUT OF 100%

Noisy, overproduced, and thinly written, Green Lantern squanders an impressive budget and decades of comics mythology.

Even in the brainless world of cinematic comic books gone bad, it's as bad as it gets -- a dumb, pointless, ugly, moronic and incomprehensible jumble of botched effects, technical blunders, and cluttered chaos.

Rex Reed
New York Observer

A joyless amalgamation of expository dialogue and special effects that aren't especially special.

It's a frustrating, deeply flawed film rife with missed story opportunities and squandered potential.
