Give it a chance with a sequel. It still has potential to be great!

There are way too many reboots in Hollywood it's a trend that's gotten very annoying. I say give it one more shot with a sequel. Keep Reynolds, can Campbell and get some solid writers who really know the character.

I say reboot it with a sequel and a better writer and director. Reynolds wasn't a bad Hal Jordan the writing just needed to b better.

The Problem is RR was bad. I cant picture him being a respectable Hero. RR was not the worst part of the movie though, It was the writing, Directing and limited imagination of WB.

they should just sequel it ... if people say the spidey reboot is too soon, imagine how people will react to this lol

Martian Campbell needed to step in and tell him, “Try it again, only not so much like….you.”

You'd be a horrible director.

Agree. RR was a decent (not great though) Hal he was just hindered by a woeful script and some [frick]ing ludicrous decisions in the edit. New writers, new director, new direction - I'd give a sequel a chance.

Do a partial reboot like the GI Joe movie, ditch the commercial nonsense, stupid costumes, and stuff no one liked, keep what's left. It is salvageable.

Agree. I did a poll on this on this at the fansite dcmarvelrelatedfilms. Those who agree should vote.

a sequel I think the most logical choice, although the film was not of my liking, but there is still much material with which Green Lantern can make a good story, and more with Sinestro and Sinestro Corps as main villains of the film, while taking advantage of linking it to the Flash movie and then make the Justice League. ...

I would give a second chance for a sequel, a story only if they offer up to The Dark Knight to amend the mistakes of the first

because they choose the Reboot immediately


una secuela me parece la opción más lógica, a pesar de que la película no fue de todo mi agrado, sin embargo todavía hay mucho material de Green Lantern con el cual se puede hacer una buena historia, y más con Sinestro y Sinestro Corps como los villanos principales de la película, además de aprovechar de enlazarla con la película de Flash para después hacer la Justice League. ...

yo le daría una segunda oportunidad a una secuela, solo si ofrecen una historia a la altura de The Dark Knight para enmendar los errores de la primera

porque sino que opten por el Reboot de inmediato

I was not a fan of Reynolds as Jordan... but I could live with it... unlike Lively's character and Campbell's direction. They really should go
SuperSomething616
SuperSomething616 - 6/27/2012, 2:20 PM
Exactly what i was thinking...they cannot and should not reboot so damn soon after the first outing...if they do they are simply exposing themselves as the tight arsed money grabbing corporate studio that people don't like...

Yes granted Sony have rebooted Spider-man only a certain amount of years after the Raimi films but lest we forget there were 3 films that predated the reboot and the studio had already made it's money...so it's clear the reboot was chosen to rejuvenate the franchise and take it in a new direction so it didn't grow stale...(and also so they wouldn't lose the rights)

If they reboot they might as well give a giant middle finger to all the fans and movie goers out there...

Get this right and it could and can be the perfect way to kick of the larger DC movie universe because with Green Lantern you've already established there are aliens in the universe so it is not difficult to explain other species like kryptonians, martians, thanagaarians etc. etc.

WB need to take a serious look at their character prospects...because they are sitting on a literal gold mine!!! All they need is the right B rated DC character movie to kick start it all...(Superman and Batman are already well established)

This is exactly how Marvel Studios started their dominance with Iron Man...all i'll say is WB swallow your pride and learn your sodding lesson!!!

Good article!!! Well said ;)

Keep Reynolds. Lose Campbell.
shiverman20
shiverman20 - 6/27/2012, 2:22 PM
They should have made it all about Hal and Sinestro and left out Hector Hammond/Parallax... I'd be all in for another shot at getting this right as a sequel. And Oa was done pretty damn well, as well as the rest of the Corps, shame they didn't play a part later in the movie.

If it hasn't been clear for the past 5 or 6 years, surely it's clear now that people will actually clamour for a really well made comic book movie, so hopefully DC will now be more conscious of that and stop releasing sloppy let downs
Anthrax
Anthrax - 6/27/2012, 2:22 PM
@spidermoe da [frick] i crack up everytime i see him kicked by hal thats the only thing worth watching about this movie but yeah once again i beleive it can be done right with ryan reynolds hope we can get news on deadpool soon

Stewart all the way for the 2nd film, have sinestro kill or banish Jordan and have John Stewart become the new green lantern of Earth
JDUKE25
JDUKE25 - 6/27/2012, 2:25 PM
Reynolds was sh**.
Parallax and Hector were flat out dumb.
Sinestro was great.
Director was crap.

Move on with the sequel, and replace Reynolds and Campbell.

Not many watched the first origin story. Why would people want to watch it again?

Sequel with the Sinestro Corps would be amazing if done right and would make at least $350-450 million I would think. They just gotta market Green Lantern more and shed more "light" on the character to get him known more. AND MAKE THE MOVIE 90% AWAY FROM EARTH.

What im looking for in a GL movie is Star Wars meets Training Day.I love GL which is why I think we need a reboot. I wanted to see more Hal and Sinestro.Just do make a live action First Flight and All Will Be Well!

CaptainDC - 6/27/2012, 2:26 PM
Great article! Loved the first, and i hope they make a sequel

joe384 - 6/27/2012, 2:26 PM
If the studios gave a sequel/reboot with a different actor but same storie for the Hulk, than of course it can be done with Green Lantern. Plus they made sequels to Fantastic Four, Hellboy, and Ghost Rider, why on earth would we think a sequel would not happen. My only issue is now that Ryan Reynolds has signed on to be the new Highlander, would he want to come back for another shot at playing Hal. I think the only way a sequel will not happen is if, Ryan, and Mark do not return. Than were looking at a reboot, but after the JLA movie.
Knightrider
Knightrider - 6/27/2012, 2:26 PM
Reboot, but in the way The Incredible Hulk did it. No origin, and start maybe half through the Sinestro Corps war, then go back to how it all started.
JDUKE25
JDUKE25 - 6/27/2012, 2:27 PM
And yeah, introduce John Stewart in the sequel and have him in the Justice League movie.

Yes, if ghost ridert and transformers get sequel than this movie deserve one
Gigacrusher45
Gigacrusher45 - 6/27/2012, 2:28 PM
Very good article and totally agree. Keep the same continuity and just fix the problems in the sequel. It already took WB and Dc long enough to make a Green Lantern movie let alone someone who wasn't Superman or Batman so they should stick with what they already have established just make it better.
Knightrider
Knightrider - 6/27/2012, 2:29 PM
@Jduke25 Exactly I remember watching the first 10mins of GL thinking amazing, then the Earth stuff I was like "This is awful" then we were on Oa, which was great, then Earth again...Pants.

He never once looked at the other planets in his sector, the relationship between Sinestro and Hal was never explored how he was his mentor, it should have been like Obi Wan and Anakin, but only better and without the terrible acting or lucas CGI.
