Head on over to apple.com/trailers for the Green Lantern trailer in glorious quicktime! This shit looks incredible. They've finally nailed an epic super hero character without compromising any of the inherit scope in the translation to film. This is THE Green Lantern we see in the comics... flying around in space with his fist out, ring first, surrounded by a green aura and leaving a laser-like green trail behind. This is truly a comic book in motion. Just wait til you see Oa. Or Kilowog. The only gripe I have, and its a minor one, is that the Guardians Of The Universe have a human fleshtone in the film from what I can tell. They'er supposed to be blue-ish, but whatever. Everthing else is spot on. This whole movie has the Geoff Johns seal of approval all over it, it looks exactly like it's leaping from the pages of a post-Rebirth Green Lantern book.
CAN'T. FUCKING. WAIT.
Easily one of my 10 most anticipated movies. Let's just roll out that list while we're at it. In order from most anticipated to only-slightly-less anticipated:
At The Mountains Of Madness
Super 8
The Hobbit
Tron Legacy
The Avengers
Batman Rises
The Wolverine
Cowboys & Aliens
Green Lantern
And an unsettlable tie for tenth that actually results in an 11-movie list:
X-Men: First Class & Black Swan
I'm not sure if the fact that 5 of these are comic book movies says more about my love of the medium or just the state of the post-Dark Knight/Iron Man industry where so many great comic properties are getting respectable treatment from major studios and major directors. But there you have it. I am hesitant to leave certain titles (like Cars 2, Battle: Los Angeles, Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark, and Arietty: The Borrow off the list, but 10 is 10)
Should be a good couple years for film fans and comic fans
