Green Lantern movie clips

[icon_uk]

I'm still not completely sold on the sparkly green costume, but the ring constructs are looking fun!

Spoilers for images and plot points!







Nice namecheck there! :)









And it has to be said, this NEVER sounds as hokey as it probably should, because it's just THAT DAMN COOL!


And for egality, what the cloudy skull monster thingie looks like in the comics

People been bitching hnd she maska nd suit look like bade CGI, but for me, cohey'rebng they're products of device that power comes from light, it kinda fits and meta in a way...

[icon_uk]

I get that, up to a point, but I find the shifting glowing green underlines to just be... distracting, they break up the line of the uniform too much for my tastes.

[midnightvoyager]

eh?

[drexer]

It does work a bit more into convincing me to go see it. Doesn't look to me as focused as the Marvel movies, but still seems like a good one.

A SHAME YOU KILLED MOGO THEN DC!

I'm keeping my money for myself.

Blake Lively!

[jazzypom]

She's a pretty girl and her body is on point, but I wish she'd have some sort of expression on her face apart from the slack jawed default.

I might see Green Lantern, but it isn't really convincing me.

*ahem*

let me try

"People have been bitching that the mask and suit look like bad CGI, could be they're products of a device whose power comes from light, it kinda fits in a meta kinda way"

Mogo shall return as.... Mogo the Green Lantern asteroid belt!

[shadowpsykie]

heh, that would kinda be cool :D

[midnightvoyager]

Ah. Sorry, er, the "cohey'rebng" threw me!

[shadowpsykie]

im a little annoyed by Hal's cocky-ness.... and really using his wing mate (female or not) as a DECOY... ugh....that is arrogant and cocky and ugH! i hope Carol slaps some sense into him!

Re: Blake Lively!

[aeolos_sakya]

Tell me about it. In one trailer, Hal and Carol seem to be in danger or something, and her expression is just... blank.
The movie looks convincing to me, but I understand your point.

[aeolos_sakya]

Hal's constructs... reminds me of Kyle, just like he mentions "The power of Grayskull"
Still, it's actually convincing me. I might actually get to see it.

[hybrid2]

Should'nt Paralax be yellow?
And not be the smoke monster from lost?

By the way.
I'm I the only one tired of seeing that effect in a lot of movies?
it's in deferent texture but it's still the same.
from the trailers it will be used in Transformer 3 and Super 8.

[icon_uk]

But it's a perfectly cromulent word! :)

Re: Blake Lively!

[ian_karkull]

I know, right? Maybe she'll turn out to be a Manhunter in the sequel. She's got the soulless robotic being that only has the vaguest semblance of what human emotions look like down to a T.
Ladies and Gentleman, tonight the part of Carol Ferris will be played by an Inanimate Carbon Rod!

[icon_uk]

I said it in jest, but actually, yes it would be kind of cool. :) Instead of the Universe coming to him, he could come to the universe, in thousands of directions at the same time.

[ian_karkull]

*lol* Parallax. I will never be able to take that seriously. Well, at least he's using his ring creatively. That counts for much.

But, pray tell, how does one become a Xenobiologist exactly, if this is the only alien they have ever encountered..? Hammond might as well have majored in speculative fiction.

[schala_kid]

Same here, lol

[icon_uk]

The underlying colour of the Parallax cloud thingie is yellow under the smoke, as are it's energy blasts, that's not a bad start.

Though I agree that "smoke as destructive solid" does seem to be being overplayed this summer.

[icon_uk]

Yeah, the Entity names are a weird bunch; Ion, Parallax, Predator etc... not a convincing one amongst them it seems.

IIRC (and I may well not) xenobiology also deals with the theoretical aspects of the search for and possible nature of life developed in non-earth environments.

"Ok, I need a design guy and a CGI guy for our next movie."
*grumblegrumblegrumblegetmeoutofbedonamonday*
"To do Green Lantern constructs."
*hands shoot up*

...Comic!Lax's tonsils could pass for a Lantern logo. ETA: Oh. Apparently it does pass... for the YL logo, according to Wikipedia... go fig.

Carol as pilot?

[starwolf_oakley]

This is the first time they've made Carol Ferris a pilot as well, I take it? Even though she runs an airplane company, it was never clear if she could fly planes or just design and build them. (That is what Ferris Aircraft does, right?). Her Wikipedia entry says she knows how to fly, but that doesn't exactly say she can handle a Jet Fighter like Hal.

[flash_fan]

I have a feeling the constructs (witch are great in one way because they're loyal to the comics) will make the mainstream audience go "Oh C'mon Really!?"

[retro_nouveau]

I still see Wade Wilson with a ring. Ok, ok, no more Nathan Fillion talk, I promise.

Highball/Sapphire OTP.

Now I'm torn, I want a movie for Wonder Woman with John next, but I also want Hal to go a few rounds with Star Sapphire. Ok, then John vs. Sinestro after that. And then Guy gets his own movie. And, of course, I'll be severely disappointed, so I'll go ahead and throw a JLI movie on top of that wish list, what the hell.

But you're a bunch of little Rocks....

"ow!"

"OW! OW!*
*Fling, fling fling fling, fling*
"Ow, ow, ! hey! quit it!"
