Green Lantern Movie (spoilers)

[Sp!der]

so far its made 75.2 million dollars in revenue.

That's good right? Martin campbell (?) he was that guy who directed goldeneye and Casino royale, right?

[LtColCarter]

Who is to say that still won't happen? The source of the problem still exists so that could still happen to him.

I'd just tell your friends to expect more disappointment. Hal's worn so many different power rings he could start a jewellery store so things will probably be changed to exclude a lot of his non Green Lantern stuff.

Theatrical Version of "Green Lantern" was simply the Studio's Cut... Director's Cut incoming? http://comicbookmovie.com/news/?a=40055

if this is true than i hope to god that they release the director's cut on DVD and i would look forward to seeing that version.

For me...it wasn't a let down, but it is nowhere in the same league as Thor and X-Men: First Class

Saw the latest trailer at X-men (saw others online previously) and looks interesting enough to go see. Not terribly excited about it, but passable. I'll put Captain America and Cars 2 at a higher priority. I don't normally watch this many movies.

Having seen a few reviews I've changed my mind and now I'm not going to bother seeing it.

well those movies actually surprised me so and my expectations for green lantern were high

i still want to see it for myself but it definatly sounds like warners ruined the theatrical cut from wat cambells cut would have been

Same here. While I don't think Green Lantern was a "bad" movie, it surely didn't live up to X-Men or Thor.

I found myself liking Green Lantern more than Thor, but I'm still certain that 3D skewed my opinion of Thor (but too cheap to rewatch in 2D, unless bored).

I think Lantern has the potential to do something more than most comic book movies and that's actually show us the bigger universe. Most comic book movies tend to do the same. Lex Luthor after land is one example. An Osborne obsessed with Spiderman is another, Wolverine: The Movie 1, 2, 3, and Origins. I believe that Green Lantern has the opportunity to be much more of a comic book movie than the others. New worlds, crazy species, bizarre situations, while Batman tries to be more serious and realistic, Iron Man tries to be the same but with a more eccentric billionaire.

I saw Thor in 2D and Green Lantern in 3D...still liked Thor more.

Thats what i was thinking, however i was expecting it to be better than said movies, judging by the trailer

well i was looking online and apparently they were saying that what we saw in theaters was just the Studio cut and not Martin Campbell's version. so i'm hoping that when Green Lantern comes out on DVD and Blu-Ray that they release the director's cut with it. it would be interesting to see what they cut out.

This is true...and if the directors cut is better...why the heck didn't they play it in the theaters?

im going to assume some executive interfered during the editing process and made cambell cut it a different way assuming it would be more profitable..but it appears they were wrong

either way i hope that director's cut version is the one they offer on iTunes as the digital copy.
