Green Lantern

[Sailor Steve]

After all the talk about how the trailers looked I'm surprised a search didn't bring up any threads about the movie itself.

After several weeks of delays I finally got to see it, and I will say this: If you're a fan of the comics you will like it. It is very faithful to the story, the cast is great and they only made a few changes to the main story, and none of them bothered this longtime fan. CGI? Kind of hard not to have a lot of it when the story is cosmic in scale. There is pretty much nothing I didn't like about it, so there. :O:

Duly noted, thanks Steve.
From my point of view i hope there wasn't too many dumb one-liners and wisea** quips.
I will see it.

A couple, but believable. I dare not go into too much detail, but as I said I thought the cast was perfect. The actor who plays Tom Kalmaku (they thankfully dropped the "Pieface" name from the original '60s comics) is part Maori, not Eskimo, and doesn't look the way Tom is traditionally drawn, but he is a great find and plays the part perfectly. Ryan Reynolds is much better than reviewers had me believe. I was unbiased, not being familiar with his other work. Blake Lively is Carol Ferris.

One thing that put me off at first is the change made in the way Kilowog looks. He appears a bit more human than he's usually drawn, but still huge, and his voice is noticably American Urban Black. Then the credits rolled and I saw why: Michael Clark Duncan! Now I have to see it again just because I love the guy's acting so much.

I can say no more.
