Watch the Green Lantern Wondercon clip

It’s been a very long time since we’ve seen any footage coming from the Green Lantern camp with the only tidbits in recent memory announcing casting choices. Today we finally get a new look at Green Lantern.

Wow. I’m really glad they decided to take more time to polish the effects before showing any more goods. There’s a few things that stand out to me in the trailer that are done really well, while some elements still show room for improvement. I really enjoyed seeing the corps together as it definitely does a good job of introducing the audience to the fact that Hal Jordan is part of a much larger team that is considered a police force. I think the trailer does a lot to win back those who may have been dissuaded by GL’s first trailer and it has managed to wedge itself somewhere between Thor and Captain America on my ‘radar’ where it belonged all along.

I just want to add that hearing that oath just tickles all the right nerd endings.

  1. movie looks awesome. Warner Bros and DC are out classing Marvel and showing them how to make superhero movies stand beyond the general formula that has been action hero movies of the last few years. This latest addition, and trailer shows not only a superhero movie that comic book fans can be proud of, but also a sci fi movie that reaches into another class of movies. Can’t wait to see the whole thing

  2. IDK the first few moments look video gameish, got a bit better towards the end.
    massive amounts of CGI can be a good thing and bad thing.

    still not sold.

    then again I’m not a massive GL fan either.

    still hoping for a better movie

    1. O.k I gave it aquite a few hours and came back and watched it over again and I gotta say……………I know I haven’t seen the film yet, and that the “Effects” are not ready yet (so they say)BUT I want my money back already! so since I haven’t seen the film of course and its technically not out yet I want my money back for my internet service expenses of the 4 minutes I used!

      all joking aside, Shit reeks guys.

    1. Captain America will be much better. This was a good “trailer/group of scenes” but You gotta separate the “tone” or the “feeling” the trailer is trying to give you and see each scene for what it is and not get fooled by the quick editing.

      I mean this movie definitely does look a lot more interesting than it did with the first trailer(s) but what does that mean? The origin and transition of this guy becoming the Green Lantern is pretty entertaining but that doesnt mean the “other stuff” they showed in the beginning won’t be in the movie anymore. And that “other stuff” was BAD. And that “other stuff” I am sure will be in the “BAD” section of Rodney’s review.

      I hope and pray that I am proven wrong because Ryan Reynolds is the shit and even if this movie is wack, he will still be awesome on my list.

  3. I’m liking it. I’m a huge Ryan Reynolds fan, and he has some great moments even in this trailer. Effects are okay–maybe it’s just watching it over a laptop that makes it seem a little grainy. I’m sure it will blow me away on a big screen. I will say that the mask looks a little campy. But what are you going to do–it’s Green Lantern.

  4. I had Thor at the top of my list for the summer comic book movies coming out but this definitely just jumped to the top of that list. As a die hard Green Lantern fan I admit that even I was a bit dissapointed with the first trailer that they put out but this footage has totally redeemed that and then some. We are the Corps baby.

    1. I like the trailer but I’m with holding judgement until we see more earth scenes involving Blake Lively. Those were the moments that sucked in the first trailer. WB made a point not to include any of those scenes in this trailer. They hope to reassure us with these scenes which are great. They also need to work on the CGI some scenes look great and some scenes look so so.

  5. I watched this in 1080p and the costume graphics look so fake to me on Hal. The alien graphics are great but I still haven’t seen a believable CG capture of a person. On the wide shots it is a total CG Ryan Reynolds and on the close ups it is his head slapped on. Everything else looks epic and large scale this nit picky part bothers me though.

  6. It was good. Anthony, let me ask this. Right now where would you rank the four main comic book movies this summer? For me I would say 1a)Captain America, 1b)Xmen First Class and then 2a)Green Lantern, 2b) Thor. At this point for me there isn’t a clear cut favorite.

    1. My list is pretty close to yours.

      1) X-Men First Class
      2) Green Lantern
      3) Captain America
      4) Thor

      I grew up Marvel but I recently became a huge GL fan partially due to the Blackest Night storyline. That one really needs to be made into an animated movie somehow…

  7. This trailer/scenes really gives that epic “space opera” feel. I think this film is going for a tough blend of dark drama and humor, and I think they might pull it off. Parallax looks awesome too.

  8. WOW that looked awesome LOL

    but i still think that mask looks bad/weird, it probably should have been black & because its cgi, it makes his eyes look weird.. but im pretty excited for this now

  9. These scenes look good. They seem to be focusing more on the other worldly parts because the parts on Earth in the earlier trailer seemed weak. If they improved the weaker parts then we have another winner for the summer. No matter what happens at the box office, this will be a great year for us comic book geeks in terms of movies. Four movies in one summer. If the world ends in 2012 at least it will have ended on a good note.

  10. I just got that tingle!

    What I love about modern comic book movies is that they have the ability to make otherwise cringe worthy moments feel cool. Imagine the Green lantern pledge scene done in the early 90’s. Now look at the scene in this sequence and tell me that wasn’t stand with your hand on your heart cool.

    I love that super-hero movies (like this) can now be made properly, with solid effects and oscar winning actors. We need no longer say to ourselves “I’m watching a guy running around in a rubber suit” and feel weird. Looks epic (IMHO) and this is so much better than the first trailer.

    I have hope at last!!
