They were good.. Il agree with you there, as will most people. But not the best ever, they still got to Bats and Supes. Most people would agree with me on the Batman movies, and the older generation on the Superman. The Superman movies are just a little outdated now, thats all.
As for the best Marvel movies, Id give that to Iron Man and X-Men First Class personally.

I didn't think it was bad....better than X-men last stand....
Agreed. Unlike X3 ans S3, GL at least had the making of a good movie. It just needed better direction, and I personally think it got a bit off track with Hector Hammond.

Oh yeah definetely. Il agree Marvel has given us more quality movies in numbers.
Iron Man, Spiderman 2, X2, Thor, First Class, Blade..

That was the only real redeeming aspect of the film(imo) and Mark Strong nailed it, Sinestro is an arrogant ass. All 15 minutes of him.
I thought his a**holishness was out of place for what the top GL was supposed to be.

Awesome. It could have definitely been better, for sure..but it wasn't as bad as people are making it out to be.

I actually thought the Hector story was a waste of time, and it would have been a much better story just concentrating more on Parallax(one of the things that did work in the movie)
Yeah, if I remember, I mentioned that did Hector's story a bit wrong flat. His acting was fun..but his plot/motivations were a bit lame.
Its actually not done bad at all in the US. Unfortunately its earned close to nothing everywhere else, so will probably not make back its enormous production budget of $200 mill.

93 mill domestically. Compare that to First class which has made around 130 mil domestically but been out a few weeks longer. But thing is First Class has made more internationally than it has domestically, whilst GL has done a very poor 30 mill internationally.

So did Green Lantern.. You dnt know with these movies until we've seen the final result. To me Cap. A does not look like its going to be anything special personally.

So because Green Lantern looked great but ended up not being so great...I should expect that Cap will suck as well....great
How can some of you possibly accept that the visuals in this film were anything but way below par? Just compare Oa to Asgard from Thor. While the latter was crisp, clear and visually spectacular, Oa was just a grey and green blended blob of crap. I've seen movies that are 10 years old with better visuals.
Was it silly, ridiculous, and too preachy? Yes, indeed. But somehow I still kind of liked it. I know nothing of the comic, but I thought it was indeed kind of a fun popcorn flick. I watched it in pretty low-def, though, so I can't speak for much of the CGI, but I think even in low-def I could tell that much of it was pretty bad. Surprising, considering the $200 million budget. Jesus. I'm honestly surprised a sequel is in the works, because it was received so badly, but it made some money, so there you go... I guess dollar signs decide the fate of the world once again..
