Haven't seen GL yet, but if it's only a lil' better than Supes, I'm 100% sure I'm waiting for it on a premium channel on a day when I've got nothing else to do

I'd wait. It's honestly not worth spending the money in theaters for. Had Parallax been done better then I'd say sure. But he was a huge letdown.

The strongest points of the movie were Mark Strong's Sinestro and RR did alright as Hal.

The guy that played HH was pretty good too.

Peter Sarsgaard was horrendous as HH, over acting and hamming up every scene he was in.

really? i thought he was pretty damn good. not as good as sinestro though.

I agree with the way the parallax scene went. Hal soloing him was to sensationalized. I was hopeing at the end when hal was dealing with him thet the entire green lantern corpse was going to show up on the scene to finish him off. thats what i figured would happen. Every adult i talk with, every comicbook fan i talk to says the same thing. The final scene how parallax was defeated ruined it for them. ITs to bad i liked the movie and now since it tanked they will not make another =(

If it was a little better than Superman The Movie, it would be the biggest superhero movie of all time.

Do you have any idea how huge Superman was when it was released? It was one of the biggest movies of all time.

😕 I guess we're gonna have to agree to disagree on this one. When I last saw Supes spin the earth backwards I thought "Where's the drama if you can just rewind time whenever you **** up?"

Well it was made clear he had to break his morals and the rules he's sworn to abide by to do it. So if anything it actually added to the drama IMO.

🤨

That you think Green Lantern is a little bit better than one of the most iconic superhero movies ever made...

There is nothing else to say. Further discussion is pointless.

Yes, GL is better than Superman Returns. Deal with it.

Almost anything is better than Superman Returns, so that's not saying much. Also, I'd say that's debatable anyway.

😂 Realizing the Supes movies are dated doesn't make me a hater. I'm just not letting nostalgia get the best of me. Careful. This is how movies like Supes Returns get made.

I am not letting nostalgia get the best of me. I just don't think it is fair for Superman 1 and 2's quality to be questioned because of how poor Superman Returns was. It was a retarded move from Singer over I was skeptical about the whole thing since the moment he mentioned it. It wasn't going to work. Dumbass singer should be shot on sight. Not only for Returns but because of X-2...even if it was still better than Last stand.

......& Supes Returns. X2 was possibly the best of the series(even though Cyclops got shat on w/the 5seconds of screentime they gave him) until 1st class came out. Even b4 SR existed, I'd had the same opinion about the original Supes films. To me, they just don't hold up.

Maybe it depends if you saw it as a kid in the theatre (I did.) Someone else growing up later, watching it only on TV and VHS may have a different perspective.

Fair enough. If it's a nostalgic feeling that makes the movie so good for you i can dig that. I did grow up watching the Superman movies but even as a kid i wasn't enchanted by them. They seemed corny and fake to me. Now, the original 89 Batman, that's another story

I thought X-2 was awesome.

X2 was great, I mean it was really jus Wolverine the movie with several XMen cameos but it wasn't a bad movie by any means.

First Class still better thou!

If only they'd made the Magneto solo movie thou. 🙁

That is my problem with the movie. I felt Logan was overexposed. Then came X-3 and Scott died 15 minutes into the movie and I just had to say out loud in the teather "What the **** is this shit?" I don't ever talk when I'm with other people while watching movies but shit like that just made me go "WTF?" I don't know why I didn't come out.

I admit X-2 is better than X-3 and Origins. I liked Logan's Weapon-X origin but everything else was just "What the shit?"

First Class is awesome though...except for Beasts stupid look. He looked even worse than X-3 facepalm

It was just a jumbled mess Wolverine Origins movie.

So when you referred to the 'og Superman' movie, you were referring to Superman Returns, and not Superman The Movie?
