Also, first Green Lanter movie...so no surprise.
I am a big Green Lantern fan but geek forbid if the movie bombs or is mediocre next year? you never know as I remember when Daredevil and Ghost Rider were red hot!
any thoughts?
It won't bomb.
Ryan Reynolds is great and he's no dummy to take on a dumbarse flick.
I think that the era of halfarsed Superhero movies is drawing to an end as Hollywood sees how much attention a well made movie will draw.
I agree with you Roy. Comic based movies are a great package since they come with some degree of market acceptance and fanbase built in, have a storyline that most people are/can readily be familiar with (see Watchmen tpb sales as an example of how fast people can jump in), and there are mutilple additional channels to profit from (toys, cards, clothing, cartoons, etc.). This is why Disney bought Marvel, IMHO, since Spidey, Wolverine, the X-men, etc. have replaced Mickey, Donald and Goofy with today's children. (thumbs u
On the other hand, Warner did produce Superman Returns recently.
