Well, early word is in, and it looks like the new Green Lantern, starring the buffly talentless Ryan Reynolds (Definitely, Maybe; Waiting), is set to disappoint comic book fans everywhere. The movie is being trounced by reviewers at Rotten Tomatoes and even warranted only 2/5 stars from IGN, a website with a penchant for giving high reviews to just about everything. However, let's all admit it: the trailer for the movie sucked, the CG suit looked horribly silly, and Reynolds–while still a buff god–has a history of bad acting and already another shitty comic book movie on his resumé (Wolverine). But, at some level, I was still holding out for this movie to surprise me. Looks like that isn't going to happen, now.
Oh well, at least I still have X-Men: First Class to see. And hey, isn't there a new Batman on the horizon?
