Still going to see this anyways, I'm sure as a fan of the comic books i will at least find something to like

Been hearing some not good things about Green Lantern, in fact quite awful things, and this cements it, for me at least.  This movie shall be skipped, mostly to save money, but this makes me feel better knowing I'm not going to miss much.

Okay, so I can skip this movie. Sucks that everything I liked about the trailer seems to have been a minimal part of the film. It sounds like they may have actually made the 2003 version that was gonna star Jack Black.

Considering how I didn't like Thor (and Rorie did), I think I'll see this one.

I was looking forward to this movie originally, but early reviews and this quick and dirty are changing my mind.

Hopefully people who see this wretched mess can recognize that it isn't the reason why people have loved Green Lantern/Hal Jordan for the past 52 years.

Ouch! I know people aren't keen on it but wasn't expecting such a bad response.

Not good, might give this one a skip but I'll wait to read Matt's review before giving final judgement

I was hoping this would be good but from what I've heard about it and from what I've heard from you guys makes me think otherwise. Maybe they should have gone with the original idea and made it about the original Green Lantern Alan Scott.

I'll probably skip this one then. The trailers didn't look too great anyway, they seemed to go out of their way to make the fantastical mundane. He can imagine anything into a green existence and comes up with guns and fists - amazing!
