The official Green Lantern trailer has been released, and there's not much it does really... The villains have been known for a good while now, and there's no major spoilers for anyone who doesn't know their Green Lantern mythos (BTW if you don't, you should read up)
I expect great things from this movie, Warner Bros. finally brought the darker image of Batman to the public eye, I'm hoping they can bring Green Lantern to a new level, but first, some analysis...
The CGI looks a bit gammy, but they'll clean it up a bit before cinematic release (much like the first Spiderman), remember, this is going to be a 3D flick as well so it's gonna look a whole lot different from behind those glasses.
The scenes on Oa (this is why you should have read up) truly look epic, one thing this movie needs to accomplish is a sense of scale, this is an intergalactic setting, and it needs to feel like it. The images of various Lanterns rising up really is awe inspiring...
On to the suit. Specifically the mask. It just doesn't quite look right, somethings very...wrong... about it, as if its been painted on, again though this could get cleaned up by release time so we'll have to see. The suit itself looks great, with the green vein effect adding a new spark to the classic design.
We've yet to see Ryan Reynolds in a serious role (apart from a certain appearance as Deadpool which will not be spoken of here), it'll be interesting to see how he performs, but I look forward to the lightheartedness he'll bring to the role, and of course, he is one of us...
But then again, never ever trust a trailer... Remember the trailer for Jonah Hex? That actually looked decent, then the movie came out... I trust Warner Brothers to do a good job on this though, they know themselves they have to produce a viable franchise, as their guaranteed Harry Potter blockbusters end next year, and the Dark Knight Saga ends 2012. I can see a lot more DC movies getting made, Superman is being cast and hopefully there'll be a Flash movie soon, leading into a unifying Justice League epic to end all epics... Hopefully...
On a finishing note, its it just me or do they use the same smoke effect (but green), as The Dark Knight for the backgrounds? Shoddy WB... shoddy...
Over and out.
MUFF BUCKET how is that for a blog
