I'm gonna come out and say this...I love Green Lantern
If I has to say he is easiest my favorite DC super hero making him my second next to Spiderman as my favorite super-hero. I love the concept, the ideals, the characters, the mythology. I've bought the trade paper back copies of the comics, I bought the animated movie, I bought the other animated movie, I memorized each of the lantern oaths, I own cheap plastic rings, I've pre-ordered expensive cheap light up plastic rings. Hell I even bought a book about the philosophy that is found in the comics. And with out further ado I went to see the movie.
Now when I first heard there was going to be a Green Lantern movie my reaction was mix tween excitement but great fear. Excited that one of my favorite comics characters is getting a chance to be put in the public spotlight. On the other hand I was afraid that the movie would be unable to convey the various elements in the comics to a general audience and still be able to make an entertaining film. And trust me the Green Lantern is a tough sell. One does not make a Green Lantern Fan in a day, heck it took me a month to decide to buy my first green lantern comic and a couple weeks before I realized just how awesome they are. But enough jabber jaw and more about the movie.
I'm gonna come out and tell you that the move wasn't good. It was bad. Would I say terrible...as a fan yes and as a general audience member kinda. WARNING HERE BE SPOILERS BEYOND!
