The Green Lantern Movie

Moving onto my next subject, howzabout the new Green Lantern Movie that is coming out in June? Incidentally, on my birthday no less. I know what I'm doing THAT day...and it isn't necessarily blowing out candles! Yowza!

I saw the original trailer, and with certain reservations, thought that it had promise. I have managed to watch the NEW trailer, which can be found at about a dozen or more locations...and it is simply...fabulous.

It has Sinestro! Being all cool and stuff, and sad about his buddy Abin Sur. It has Abin Sur, being all noble and dying. It has Tomar Re and Kilowog! It has a whole crapload of other Lanterns, that I'll be gasping with joy to identify! I don't know if it has John, Guy or Kyle, but I'm REALLY hoping that there are at least cameos to soothe my fangirlish heart. It has Oa!

And it has Hal. Hal isn't my favorite Lantern, but dammit, I have a soft spot for him. And I think that Ryan Reynolds has the cockiness and hair to pull it off. I don't ask that the movie be an epic...I only ask that it be enormously entertaining, and from the latest trailer, I think that it promises that.

I don't even mind the costume all that much. Hey, at least it's green. And I rather like the idea of it being computer-generated, because the real costume is Ring-generated...so naturally it would look a little bit alien.

And I'm hoping...I'm really hoping for a boxing glove construct.
