Ryan Reynolds Looks Back On GREEN LANTERN; Still No Idea About Sequel

they should be asking the suits at the WB. Maybe next time it will be a co-financed project with another outfit like Lionsgate.

i wonder what unsucessful movie he was un-happy with?

i didnt mind green lantern. i found it dissapointing because i had high hopes but after watching it again it wasnt that bad. but still not good enough for the amount of effort that went in.

hope they learn from their mistakes and do a sequel that green lantern and the fans deserve

Ahem





Coulda, shoulda, woulda, but didn't... And failed.

The freak has stated a fact.

I respect that. The movie was bad, but atleast he can keep his chin up through it all

Between Thor and Green Lantern, Green Lantern I prefer. I liked Green Lantern.

@gambitfreak Don't be stupid. Chris Pine is Hal Jordan:

Thor was MILES better than this turd of a movie. it isnt even watchable

No actor could save that movie. Clint Eastwood in his prime couldn't save that god awful script, plot and editing.

I hope it doesn't get a reboot. The cast was fine in GL. For the most part. The problem with it was the story and character development. By the end of the movie sinestro had no reason to put on the ring outside Of the fact that it happened in the comics. This movie had potential but failed. Biggest disappointment of 2011 for me. Bring a stronger story and give the fans the quality sequel that we should have had for the first. movie. And please keep. Geoff Johns away from it

they cant dismiss Hal as a character. i vote that after chris pine is done with star trek in 4 or 5 years they bring him on to reboot GL and hopefully get it right. by then theyll have better CGI that costs less and can do more of what they want to do with sfx and such.

Like I said before, I thought he did a good job as Hal. If they do a sequel, I would like to see him back in the role.

A good actor can only do so much with a bad script. Blake Lively did a better job than I expected, but I don't think she's quite the right fit for Carol.

I think Evangeline Lilly would a be better choice for Carol Ferris/Star Sapphire.

@GrahpicCity I couldn't have said that any better if I tried.

Long time reader, first time poster...WHAT UP?

I just watched GL again last night to show a buddy who hadnt seen it. My opinion with CBM's is they don't HAVE to follow the comics perfectly. I, like you, would love it if they took some of the big storylines and translated them as best as possible, but there are only so many that would work really well. So I'm completely ok with "interpretations". The problems with this movie weren't the cast or the acting. It was the special effects that made the acting seem cheese, and the plot/scripting that made the movie lame. Paralax was no better than "cloud" Galactus as a villain, and Sinestro, Tomar, and Kilawog were highly underused. BUT, I think the movie is watchable as a peace of entertainment. Its not the worst CBM. I think they could keep it and make a bad ass sequel from it. Better directing, and better writing.

i didn't mind the first one and wouldn't mind also in seeing a part two from it?)

I will never get the hate for this film.

@JohnTom88: Oh I'm sorry but I've gotta deny that for denying others, sorry. :(

Also screw reboots for they'll be the death of superhero movies. Mark my word.

Now before someone goes "LOLOLOLOLOL, stupid they won't." Think about it. By saying reboot a film that some people say was bad means if hollywood makes ANY mistakes with their future superhero films, simply rebooting will be their answer and they'll do it over and over again. And if you keep on rebooting the same thing over and over again, people will get bored and lose interest.

@Ceejay: Except there are those people. :D

They should have asked him if, knowing what he knows now, turning down the role of The Flash for Green Lantern was the best choice.

First off, I totally agree that Nathan Fillion should have played Hal Jordan.

As far as Ryan Reynolds appearing in a Green Lantern sequel.... BRING ON DEADPOOL!

GL had a ton of potential. It didn't turn out as well as it could have. It wasn't terrible & it wasn't great. I felt the same way about all the CBM's of last year. Thor was predictable, Red Skull never felt like a threat in Cap, First Class (& the X-men movies in general) are a continuity nightmare with people making choices that make no sense only to further the film along, & GL had a crap villain (parallax) & rough writing in some spots.

My biggest issue with some of the people on this site is they still act like angsty 15 year olds. Something is either the best thing ever or a complete POS. A movie can't be just OK it seems.

reboot it like in 5-8 yr. time...

this time however...keep the first movie about Hal Jordan, his life (past and present) and his family backstory (not just the stupid flashback..but actually tell the story). then, how he discovers the ring, or rather the ring discovers him, but do it more "realistically". not like the ring suddenly entraps him and carries him off to see Abin Sur. but, more like the ring "leads" him to find Abin, or what's left of him.

then, let's have Hal HAVE FUN with the ring (a type of buddy flick with the ring..) without him knowing ANYTHING about its true capabilities and purpose. this part i think was sorely missed out in last year's movie. then, have him going up against a more down-to-earth villain, instead of the monstrosity that's really ending up looking LAME.

towards the end, THEN, they can have Hal meet up with some of the GLC members (maybe Sinestro and Tomar-Re), who are looking for Abin Sur. and just set the whole Hal meeting the Guardians for the sequel.

ps: they gotta RE-work the look of some of the aliens, mainly Abin Sur and Sinestro..and make em looking LESS human-like in their features. it's okay..as long as you do it just right, the audience, even the fans won't mind it. a pink David Niven just won't cut it with the general, non-comic book fan audience.

@n1ghtw1ng2832 Thor wasn't flawless. But every sane person can see it's a better film than GL.

@Moozreversed that's what happens when you deal with nerds instead of the casual reader hahaha

A message for Ryan Reynolds

They should do a sequel. THe groundwork was set and he's likable. This is one of those occasions where the second part would be far superior to the first part. Different director and a better story with Sinestro as the bad guy would actually rock.

Ryan Reynolds is a douchebag, the movie was bad, but DC is awesome. We need another GL movie - not with douche Reynolds. We need a whole new team that can do it justice (see what I did there?). Whether it's a sequel or a reboot with a whole new team and with a new actor to play GL is something WB has to figure out.

Hey, to all you Marvel fans - I never understood why you guys talk about DC in Marvel articles and you talk about DC in DC articles. It blows my mind.

DC is attempting to do new and exciting things despite being the oldest comic book company still around. That's what's cool about DC - it's new and exciting, and they continue to push the envelope and do cool things. They don't let things get to the same old same old. That would be extremely boring for any company and also for any consumer of that company.
