We take a quick break for our Thor rantings to look at the newest Green Lantern trailer! With only weeks to go before it's release, WB has kicked their advertising into overdrive. Check it out.
I'm really torn over this movie. One on hand, this movie fill fulfill the space opera void in my life that never gets filled outside of video games. I'm really dying to see the heavy sci-fi elements of the movie, and it feels like ... And then every time Ryan Reynolds opens his mouth, I die a little inside. All the funny jokes that prove how charismatic.. Reynolds excels at the more self deprecating, sarcastic style that doesn't work when the character is trying to be a classic hero. When he tries to be serious, it feels so forced and awkward. Just the way he carries himself is more of loose and jokestery than firm and confident. He just doesn't project enough force as a superhero, which is necessary for an action piece.
We do see more detail on the nature of Parallax, including a look at the symbol of the Sinestro Corps., surely a sign of good things to come. Parallax looks to be kinda interesting as a villain, although I think he's too physically large to provide an interesting fight. When a monster gets big to a certain point, it's more like watching someone fight terrain than an enemy. Michael Clark Duncan is decent as Kilowog. I prefer a more grizzled, rough voice on the Lantern, but this different interpretation could work well. Blake Lively is continuously put in the trailer as little as humanly possible, which I'm assuming is a wise decision. Green Lantern is doing alot of things right and this footage has more than a few cool visuals, but will need to bring alot of heart to the final product if it wants to win audiences over.
