Green Lantern (2011) - Trailer (HQ) Exclusive

Warner Bros has released the full movie trailer for Martin Campbell%u2018s big screen adaptation of DC Comics%u2019 Green Lantern starring Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard, Mark Strong, and Tim Robbins. I like how they save the sci-f/DC Comics logo reveal to half way through the trailer, trying to sell audiences on the story of a test pilot. I%u2019m not sure how effective that is however since the second half of the trailer bombards viewers with aliens planets, alien creatures, superhero powers, and a lot of questionable computer generated imagery. Let%u2019s hope they didn%u2019t skimp on the budget when it comes to the effects. Shooting in New Orleans was definitely a cost cutting measure and it seems like they are very ambitious in what they want to achieve in visual scope. The effects shots look far from finished, which is more than likely since the film isn%u2019t due in theaters until next Summer. I%u2019m definitely not sold on the all-CG suit and the tone seems a bit more comic-laced and geared towards children than I was expecting. The dialogue and deliver seems hokey, cheesy and stilted. That said, having seen how this all fits in the big picture (having visited the set and viewed much of the concept art) I%u2019m still excited to see more. There is a lot we aren%u2019t being shown here. The fact that this movie was even made and that they were able to stay faithful to the comics is amazing. I hope to see much more from the other alien members of the Green Lantern Corps, the planet Oa, and the gigantic space opera this project promises to be. Hit the jump to watch the trailer now.
