"IGN also gave the movie a negative review stating, "...this summer offers the colossal disappointment that is Green Lantern. The epitome of spectacle over substance, Green Lantern is a cosmic mess and a huge letdown given the source material it had to draw from. Indeed, X-Men: The Last Stand and Wolverine are better than Green Lantern.[75]"
LOL. DC can't catch a break.
I seriously doubt that will happen. for a couple of reasons.
1. They've been doing that forever and know they won't make much money.
2. DC/WB wants to launch more super hero movies, which goes along with their new relaunch in September. The executives have made it known that they want a more diverse line of movies.
Plus this can still make a lot of money. The kids (along with their parents) will save it. We can only hope as WB has had a huge marketing campaign. A sequel is pretty much already green lit.

i'll still see it.. i bought a special offer from Fandango( 2 GL tickets for like 9 bucks) 3 weeks ago... the thing is it prolly won't generate much dollars from casual movie goers... I may be wrong, but that's prolly wuts gonna happen.
Not as bad as it seems. Kinda what I thought.

Listen to the critics if you have NEVER heard, read, or even known about the Green Lantern lore.
If you're a GL fan you will like certain parts and completely not going to like what was done to Parallax.
A Popcorn comic book movie from begining to end. Blame whoever edited this movie but NOT the Director, Actors, or CGI.
Average.
Bat-fanboyish DC Comics WD gives Green Lantern a:
3 1/2 out of 5
Spoiler:
Sinestro War in Green Lantern 2...Oh yeah!
Congrats Marvel! This movie is so-so but you still hold the championship for WORSE comic book movie ever....Fantastic Four!
Lol, the fantastic four is the worse movie? Are talking about the 90s version because that is far better than catwoman. As for batman and robin, Arnold as freeze and what's her face were horribly cast. Look out Gotham villains clooney batman is coming to kick your ass. Then there's Alicia silverstone. Dc sucks at making a good franchise.
Part of me is happy that I can rub the rotten reviews in DC fanboys' faces.
But this doesn't do the Comic Book Movie industry a whole lot of good seeing another bad comic movie. DC needs to get their crap together and start making more BB, Dark Knight quality movies. Maybe just get Christopher Nolan to do all your movies?

I think that would be Ghost Rider. Marvel has it's share of stinkers.
I saw green lantern on opening night. I am one of the smart few that dont go into a movie expecting to much. Id give it a b to b+ and it was suprisingly better then i expected. The fight scenes with the constructs were suprisingly done well. Most thoses people claiming it sucks just have to overly INSANELY high expectations and are always going to be dissapointed. Thor,Green Lanter, and the last X-men were all good movies they had theire strong points but over all they were really good.
Fantastic Four was not the worst comic movie ever. Well, actually it is for me because of how they MANGLED Doom's story/personality/power. But anyway, OF COURSE Marvel is going to have more bad movies than DC because they put out way more.
Iron Man 1-2, Spiderman 1-2, X-men 1+2, First Class, Thor, Incredible Hulk (Ed Norton), Kick-Ass and the original Blade are all pretty darn good.
DC only really has Original Supes 1+2, Batman (Keaton), and the 2 Batman Reboots.
