Re: Green Lantern (Campbell, 2011) — The Reviews Thread
Looks like the movie is getting a second wind. It's now at 22% approval on Rotten Tomatoes. Suck it, naysayers!

It can't be any worse than overrated Avatar and overly lousy Transformers 2.

Re: Green Lantern (Campbell, 2011) — The Reviews Thread
Sure it could. All it needs is a little will power.

Re: Green Lantern (Campbell, 2011) — The Reviews Thread
This is one of those movies I don't care how it's reviewed. I'll still see it tomorrow night. Reviews almost never sway me from seeing a movie I've planned on seeing since it was announced.

Re: Green Lantern (Campbell, 2011) — The Reviews Thread
The reviews mostly don't make it out to be a shitty movie so much as just not a particularly good one.
Plus at 23%, it has a full 10% higher rating than Batman and Robin (which is what the ads reminded me of) and a 0.9 higher score. |
Re: Green Lantern (Campbell, 2011) — The Reviews Thread
"The Critics agree: '10% Better than Batman & Robin!'"

Re: Green Lantern (Campbell, 2011) — The Reviews Thread
Saw it with a group of friends
Its an utter embarassment. Literally. Its probably on the level of Wolverine Origins, if not worse, due to the potential wasted |

I hope they keep making "this shit" and I will continue to see "this shit." If only to know that it pisses you off.

Re: Green Lantern (Campbell, 2011) — The Reviews Thread
The space/Oa stuff was fun (in 3D), the earth-side stuff was stiff and uninvolving (flat in 3D). I think kids will enjoy the spectacle and comic-book sensibilities. Chemistry between Reynolds and Lively was so-so. The script is haphazardly plot-driven with wide jumps from scene to scene without the requisite connective tissue to tamp down the jarring jumps between the earth-side scenes and the space-faring scenes. But it was enjoyable to see the GL's on Oa and in action at times.
I give it 2.5 stars, or a grade of C+. |
Re: Green Lantern (Campbell, 2011) — The Reviews Thread
It's not promising when the positive review quotes on Rotten Tomatoes contain words and phrases like "campy", "childish", "unremittingly average", "by-the-book", and "Cornball dialogue and poor characterizations".

'Green Lantern' Opens To $3.35M Midnights
By NIKKI FINKE | Friday June 17, 2011 @ 7:10am PDT FRIDAY 7 AM: Warner Bros is very pleased with DC Entertainment's Green Lantern 3D opening of $3.35M midnight showings from 1,810 venues, which bettered Marvel/Paramount's Thor midnights ($3.2M from 1,800 locations) and were on a par with Marvel/Fox's X-Men: First Class prequel midnights ($3.3M from 1,783 theaters). "It's an excellent result setting up for a strong Father's Day weekend at the box office," a Warner Bros exec emailed me this morning. Today, Green Lantern starring Ryan Reynolds opens in a wife but by no means record-setting release into 3,816 theaters, of which 2,711 will be 3D. There'll be a total of over 7,100 prints working. Hollywood is estimating North American box office for Green Lantern's weekend opening in the mid-$50M range with the upside as much as $65M-$70M. Sunday's Father's Day should be a strong day for the comic book movie judging from historic numbers with strong results from past superhero films. |
Re: Green Lantern (Campbell, 2011) — The Reviews Thread
In general most "comic book to movie" reviews are seldom glowing and for sure won't win any Oscar. And they tend to be nic-picked from avid comic followers to CGI buffs to those who are expecting oscar performance. It's a comic-book based movie with action, special effets, sci-fi....plain and simple.
I'm being taken to see Saturday for my fathers day gift. My daughter wants to see and so does her boyfriend. I couldn't care less one star or 10 stars. And besides if it weren't for these "childish & cheesy" movies Hoolywoood would suck, theaters would be out-of-business and we be left with what to blow us away when the BR came out....Cougars,Inc, Glee, Burlesque... |
Re: Green Lantern (Campbell, 2011) — The Reviews Thread
Fantastic Four had nearly as many bad reviews as Green Lantern, and it did manage almost $155 mil in the US. However, I don't think the budget was as huge as GL's.
This was posted by Jeff Wells at Hollywood Elsewhere: "I ran into Warner Bros. Entertainment president & COO Alan Horn last night during an after-party for The Last Mountain at the Westside Pavillion. I asked him about that $300 million figure that some say is the tab for The Green Lantern. Correct, he said, if you count marketing. The film cost about $200 million and the worldwide marketing total is about $100 million." |
Re: Green Lantern (Campbell, 2011) — The Reviews Thread
If they can score a big enough opening ($65 million sounds about right) this thing might be salvageable from a PR perspective.

Re: Green Lantern (Campbell, 2011) — The Reviews Thread
Saw it last night with a packed house, and I enjoyed it. Like any movie like this, I wanted more though. More OA, more Corps, everyone doing the Oath together, etc. But I think now that the ground work is done, they can get really crazy for a sequel.
