Full Green Lantern trailer up!

Hm, looks interesting. Can't say I'm crazy about the costume, though.

The reason the very glowing, near cartoon like effects, and costumes don't bother me is that they are not truly physical even in the comic. The mask, and the costume are all energy constructs of the ring, and the glow makes sense.

I think the movie is going to be good, and Hal in this is no different than in the Cartoon New Frontier, or in GL first flight. In the comic, the older and wiser Hal is a bit more serious, but in the beginning he wasn't. Even in the early comics he wasn't, it wasn't until the writers started using GL and GA for political statements in the late 60s and early 70s that GL took a more serious shift.

The civilian world has always viewed fighter pilots as cocky and larger than life. So, the writers portrayed him that way. Take a look at The Right Stuff or Top Gun to see the same thing. The former would even be in the correct era for the early GL comics.

All in all, I think the trailer was good. I think the movie will be good too.

Edit: Watched it again, many of the effects (like the ships) have a polished effect as good as any CG I have seen.

Am I the only one that doesn't ever remember Hal Jordan having a problem with being fearless? The whole line about "Green Lanterns are supposed to be fearless, and I'm not", made no sense to me as far as Hal Jordan's character in the comics.

I'll see it in the theater. That's the highest praise that I can give a movie in terms of anticipation of seeing it since I VERY rarely pay money to see them in the theater.

There is so much Win in this trailer!!!

I will say the same thing that I said on another board...Its what 11/18/2010? This movie isnt out until July 2011 so there is still over 8 months to add special affects to this movie....

I re-watched this in HD. The effects seem better, but I still don't like the way the mask is lit in the scene where he's showing his friend the suit. However, it does look better in other shots so it's possible the advertising company used the older footage for that.

If anyone cares, here is cracked's take on the trailer.

Can't say I'm all that interested in this. Part of that is due to me not being all that interested in Green Lantern, but another part is due to the blandness of that trailer. I'm getting a Fantastic Four and Ghost Rider feeling from it and that's not a good thing.
