I go back and forth on Ryan Reynolds, I really can’t tell if I like him or hate him. That’s kind of how I feel about the suit above. From first glance, it kind of reminds me of the armor that Vlad wore in Dracula (but Green). I guess the suit is CG and that is supposed to be cool, but I guess I’m not feeling it. In fact, I really don’t know if I’m excited to see this character and story brought to the screen at all. Maybe it’s because I don’t have any vested interest in the character, I’ve never read the comic so I can’t really get amped up on what might happen. I did read the wiki, and from what I can gather it’s basically an all powerful superman with a ring.
I know that if you want to hurt superman, you use Kryptonite and if you want to hurt the Green Lantern you take his stupid jewelry away. Taking into consideration that people who write superhero movies love to show super heroes without their powers leads me to believe that the story line will be roughly the following:
- 30 minutes of Green Lantern getting the ring
- 30-45 minutes of Green Lantern using how to use the ring
- 15-60 minutes of the Green Lantern losing the powers and having to deal with it. (this part sucks)
If I’m wrong I’ll be happy….
