redfirebird2008 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Seriously? That sounds fun. It's kinda sad, I had such high hopes for GL, but after watching the trailer, I already have a bad feeling. And the movie is even worse than what I expect it to be I just remember being floored that the production budget was so big when the CGI looked terrible in the trailer. Not only that, but I couldn't believe they were spending that kind of cash on something other than Batman or Superman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAR Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 GL is a background movie. You have it on in the background while doing something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackspider Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Iron Man turned out to be Peyton Manning.Green Lantern turned out to be Ryan Leaf. As a Charger fan this is both equally funny and painful at the same time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 (edited) To be totally fair to the Green Lantern movie though, I do think it was far harder to adapt that character for domestic audiences than it was Iron Man. Tony Stark has built in American appeal. That being said however, WB should have at least been able to make Green Lantern appeal more to the OS market than IM did, and they couldn't even do that.

Sam Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 WB has sent out its Man Of Steel. This one needs to succeed critically and box office wise for a Blockbuster sequel. It needs to succeed for WB/DC to have some kind of traction going. I want a WW movie and a Flash movie so bad!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jawa Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 The best part of Green Lantern was Hector and his pedostache. That and Parallax looking like a radioactive pile of poop. I need to watch GL again. It wasn't Batman and Robin-level unintentional comedy, but it was pretty funny. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackspider Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 So I guess it's fair to assume that Disney/Marvel is playing it safe with the 28% drop. Didn't IM2 drop like 5m from estimates in its OW? Learn from your mistakes I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shayhiri Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 OK, I see my $ 30 000 are safe now. So instead of seeng IM3 for the sixth, I went seeing Oblivion for the NINTH time now. It was a good decision. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidey Freak Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 (edited) Thank you, that's exactly the cartoons I was thinking of! So yeah I'm sticking with GL being a bit more known among my gen at least. But I still think the GL movie is a good comparison for what IM1 would have done with bad marketing. They weren't that far apart in relevance among the GA. True but my theory is that initially GA gave GL movie a chance thinking it may pay off like similarly unknown commodities IM and Thor before it. Hence the decent OW. But then ai-ai-ai!!! GA also initially gave Watchmen a chance as that was just coming off the superhero high of IM/TDK. Edited May 5, 2013 by Spidey Freak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The marketing budget was very high too I think. WB really fucked that one up big time Edited May 5, 2013 by Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPink Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 (edited) Although, Mark Strong did look the part. Mark Strong was pretty great for his 7-8 minutes in the movie. That's about it, aside from Blake Lively looking stunning for a good chunk of the movie. T'was horrible, acting wise.

They could have done so much more with the concept of the GL Corps and the Larger Rainbow Corps. Sinestro was so poorly handled despite them having such a brilliant talent like Mark Strong for the character! What a waste of a film and good cast!
