Oh, you weren't talking about the fan-made one with Nathan Fillion that came out while Ryan Reynolds was still in negotiations...
Still going to see it. I trust my friends more than Anonymous with a over-inflated opinion.

He's like Mr. Shallow, he couldn't even keep Scarlett J. and she is almost 10 years younger than him. If you can't keep a clueless young woman like her...you are pathetic. |
That's three sentences of concentrated fail, right there.

Yeah, if being able to keep Scarlett Johannson as your devoted sex kitten is the definition of 'not pathetic', I'd hate to see his idea of 'doing okay'.

My point is that he couldn't even keep the attention of a young woman which isn't that hard. Can we/should expect something paranormal in GL?
I bet S had a good laugh when he was made sexiest man alive
Professional critics are almost always wrong. At least, in my personal movie-watching experience.

You think Scarlett Johansson is dumb because she's young and female? Because... all young females are dumb?
I just want to make sure that we're perfectly clear on your position, here.
Just for my own curiosity's sake - how old does a female have to be before she's no longer young and dumb? Because, clearly, 26 is too young (that being Ms. Johansson's current age).

I believe I said couldn't keep her attention...

Still seeing it.
I'm seeing a lot of "Good but misses the mark" "Lots of action, summer block bustery goodness" they all seem to be knocking it for "serious at times, comedy at others"
Havent read a review from a GL fan, but I wouldn't trust a GL fan to review the movie to save their lives as a lot of fan reviews end up like this "Doesn't follow the comic so it sucks" (paraphrasing of course).

Still plan on seeing the midnight showing, don't really give a damn about critic reviews since it's mostly some guy's opinion.

I had very low expectations for this movie and it sounds like they were well founded. My epectations of the movie were formed by Ryan Reynolds' reading of the GL oath in the trailers. It was fine until the end when he growl/screams, "Green Lanterns' LIGHT!!!"
Bleh.
Still might take in a matinee in a few weeks.
