Wow, just 2 days after The Blot complained on Twitter about Warner Bros’ lack of Green Lantern promotion, everything changed for the better! Ok, I know it had nothing to do with my bitching, but after WonderCon 2011 I think it’s safe to say the Green Lantern media onslaught is in full effect. Not only did WB release this beautiful new one sheet movie poster, they also showed 9 full minutes of footage from the film. 4 minutes of that footage is available here, which I watched last night.
The footage is actually pretty good, but it's not as amazing as I had hoped. I think they’re trying to do too much too soon. Maybe they should have left the GL Corps and Oa for the all but guaranteed sequel, and focused primarily on Hal learning to use the ring on Earth. Sometimes less really is more, and once Hal leaves Earth the film starts looking like a cartoon with way too many aliens. But I have to give them credit for trying to tackle the mythology of the Green Lantern Corps and not just Hal Jordan becoming a Green Lantern. We’ll have to just wait and see how the film plays to audiences starting on June 17th!
