Peter Travers calls Green Lantern "Comic Book Movie Hell"

Oh GL.....you had soo much potential. Now *unless you make a shit load of money* we will never get to see Sinestro go evil, star sapphire, blackest night, atrotious, the other lantern corps on the big screen. That makes me sad :(

This guy is kind of an idiot. I believe the movie isn't as good as we all thought it would be, but he is seriously messed up. Watch his other reviews, he mostly just rambles.Hopefully GL will still make enough money so we can get a sequel.

This guys a JACKASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS MOVIE'S GONNA ROCK!!!!!!!

This guy sounds like a complete idiot. Am I supposed to take this guy's critique seriously?? Out of everything I've seen in the trailers, this movie looks like it will be epic! And my predictions are seldom to never wrong. (The special effects do not sway my belief in this film.)

The really good movies are in the Fall?? Really?!? Really? I can't remember a good movie that came out in the Fall in recent years. That just showed me that this guy just doesn't have much taste for a big action film. Which is probably why this film is getting bashed by critics since they are all mainly middle-aged to older people who would rather watch a film of people just talking about issues (political or something in the family) for two and a half hours than to watch a film that is action packed about someone trying to save the world.

Ryan Reynolds - "a test pilot that was taken out of nowhere" - did he miss the part where they clearly state the reason for him being chosen is for his great courage and his ability to overcome fear?!? WTF?!? Dumba$$!! -_-

I never had faith in Blake Lively so he's probably right on the money with that one.

As for the clunky writing, there's really only 2 villains, how clunky can it actually be. I'm sure it's probably just a fast-paced film to keep the audience engaged. But again, we'll see.

And what about Sinestro? No word on him? Was his performance just so good that he didn't want to say too many good things about this film?

Other than his statement of Blake Liviely's terrible performance and Saarsgaard's 'great' performance', I would have to say that I don't count on this guy giving me a correct review.

It looks good and I'm going to watch it myself and then decide if it was worth it. I'm gonna help DC/WB because I want to see a JL film down the line. I'm pretty sure this movie will be great. All the old critics can go take Viagra and go frick themselves.

while I don't always agree with alot of critics (Roger Ebert in particular) I do consider (in most cases) what the critics say as at least a good basis for the film. yes, their are some I thought they were wrong about (Unbreakable, Equilibrium, Armageddon, Body of Lies) but if most if not all the critics say the movie sucks (like Old Dogs with 5%) then I'm usually hesitant to spend the time and/or money to see it.

now don't get me wrong, I would LOVE a good Green Lantern movie. over the past year or so, I've really gotten more into the character and appreciate the depth the character of Hal Jordan brings to the DCU. but this movie will fail. Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively are both bad choices for the roles, Hector Hammond is a kinda lame villain and I don't like the costume change for the Lanterns. I like the diversity of the ones from the comics (I especially like Kyle Rayner's). ll that being said, I do hope their will be a sequel IF WB learns from the mistakes of this one and can improve on it (replace Hal Jordan as the main Lantern with Jon Stewart[Idris Elba] or Kyle Rayner[Karl Urban]). but I'm gonna wait for the discount theater for this one.

Damn, well it seems the DC Universe is officialy ruined.

his review for X-Men First Class is funny, with him yelling "GO MUTANTS!!!!"

Also it seems a lot of these reviewers were wanting to bash this movie as soon as it was announced how much WB spent on it. Like these reviewers find it obscene that the studio spent $300 million on it and that amount of money should only be spent on an environmentally conscious movie like Avatar or it has to deal with some sort of social issues.

See what I mean Intruder hates Green Lantern comics and anything Green Lantern related and he is the biggest Lib on this site.

he praised super 8 which was garbage

[frick] Him! This idiot praises First Class, one of the most unimagintive movies this year, and then hates on Green Lantern. Yeah, critics don't know shit!

LOL!! I CAN'T BELIEVE RETARDS ARE STILL DEFENDING THIS PILE OF SHIT.

3 minutes of yapping that could have been simplified to "i didnt like the cast" this guy is a tool

Peter Travers,

I just saw Green Lantern and it wasn't that great. There are a lot of cut away open ended cutaway scenes

This dude's an idiot. The movie was great. As with all CBM's you establish characters, relationships, origins etc....the effects were what they were supposed to be, other worldly and pure energy, not colorful tights and leather...boring...and trust me, Sinestro WILL battle Hal...nuff said...

Yeah, just saw GL... awful. All around.
