So yeah, a few months ago they posted this godawful green lantern trailer that made it look like it completely missed the tone of the comics:

Then today we see this awesome thing:

I was just stoked to see the Green Lantern. Period. /shrug
Thor looks...mmm...wow....like it could be seirously killer or just...eh.
The first trailer makes it look a little more like it will be...wow.

Captain America is my most anticipated movie of the summer right now.
I also really really wanna see Source Code. Anyone seen it yet? It's from Duncan Jones (AKA Zowie Bowie, son of some guy who you may have heard of) who directed the absolutely brilliant Moon. If you guys haven't seen Moon yet buy it right freaking now, it's outstanding.
Oh yeah also Super 8. JJ Abrams making a 80's era Spielberg homage? yes plz

Chris Evans is a better actor than he gets credit for. You should check out him out in Sunshine if you haven't yet. It's a really good sci-fi, Danny Boyle's second film if you like his other work. Falls apart a little in the third act but the space scenes are absolutely beautiful.

Source Code was good, I enjoyed. I liked Moon better, and am of mixed feelings about SC's ending, but I'm glad I saw it.
Not sure about Thor or Captain America yet (I can see the finished product going either way), but that Green Lantern trailer was awesome. Although when I first read this thread title I couldn't understand how the Green Hornet could go from absolute crap when it was already released.
p.s. how exactly does a face-comforming eye-mask hide someone's identity?

I don't get why everyone is complaining about the mask. It looks almost exactly like the one from the comics.
And yeah I saw something somewhere where they were freaking out because both of the movies have Green in the title, so they're worried people won't have the attention span to read the second word when making their movie selection.

Oh, I wasn't saying it didn't look like the comic books (I've never read them), and the mask looks good to me. My question is hardly limited to Green Lantern among super heroes anyway... I just think the idea that an eye-only mask would prevent someone from identifying the wearer is amusing. So funny to see the "when you need your identify to be secret the mask will appear" or whatever line spelled out.
Then again this is the world of comic books, where Clark Kent isn't recognized thanks to black plastic glasses and dorkier hair. And no spandex.

That is very true, the logic is pretty silly and the only difference really is that his eyes turn green. He still even has the same hair. Totally hard to tell him apart!
But yeah while the mask is silly, it's still a comic book movie so I'll suspend disbelief for it.
Most importantly is holy crap look at all those lanterns this is gonna be super sweet.

yeah, the superman disguise method has always been the most implausible >_> would it be so hard to use a helmet? in fact, why doesn't he just use a lead-lined suit complete with face mask ALL THE TIME?!?

I've been thinking you meant this movie the whole time.
And yes, the first trailer makes the green latern look like it sucks.
The second trailer gives it more depth.

Yes i went and seen it in 3D as a LOYAL GL fan i will say this. While it was not as good as i had hoped it was still a decent movie a solid 6 or 7 out of 10. People are hard on GL because of Thor and X-men Caption America will get as bad or worse reviews i think. They did a good job trying to explain a very complicated origins and a sequel would be free of those restraints and be awesome.

I was going to see it on Saturday but after the negative stuff started coming out I thought I'd wait a week and see if enough people liked it to make it worth my time this weekend.

I just discovered Vanity Fair's 25 questions!
Q: What kinds of items does the power ring create in Green Lantern?
A: Hal Jordan’s Green Lantern (Ryan Reynolds), at different points in the film, creates a machine gun, a sword, and a jet fighter.
Q: If you had Green Lantern’s power ring, what would you will the ring to do?
A: I would will the green power ring to destroy all copies of Green Lantern.
