So, we've talked about our unsureness of Reynolds as GL in some of the other threads...what do we think now?
Personally, I'd give the trailer like a 7 out of 10. I'm going to see it for sure, and it looks like it'll be good, but I'm not 100% won over yet.

It looks great to me it annoys me that some fans think it will be cheesy just based on three thing out of a few seconds they seem to forget something can have humor and not be comedic. What makes me excited is seeing outer space scenes and in a interview Ryan Reynolds says that Hal becomes more humble as the movie goes on and I think it sounds good because hopefully it means he has character development.

I'm a big GL fan, but I'm with you Gary....not completely sold yet. I do like the feel of it though, and You can tell they did their best with "Avatar-Like" CGI for the aliens.....so I'm actually glad they've waited this long to do a GL movie. I like Kilowog screaming at Jordan, and Sinestro looks pretty sweet.

I'm with you guys... big GL fan, but I'm not completly sold. You can't judge a movie based on a three minute trailer. Out of the costume the only gripe I have is the face mask. It doesn't look right and the glow is too much.

So the "alien" costume has grown on you a bit? Once you see it in action, I really think it doesn't look nearly as bad.

Yeah - it fits with what Campbell is going for in the universe - just need to tone the glow down a little.

I can see that. It didn't really bother me, but I can understand that. My biggest gripe right now is their lantern design.....eh.

Now, you see, when you put it in those terms "Flashy For The Kids" that kinda scares me *cough* *cough* Batman and Robin *Cough* Cough*. But after viewing this trailer I am still not sold on Ryan Reynolds as GL. I dont know what it is.

I agree. I'm not quite as worried as I was before because we get to see a little bit of him playing serious in the trailer, but I'm still not totally buying it yet.

I have no idea! The whole trailer isn't bad, but for some reason I just don't like it! Sinestro and the aliens look pretty cool, the effects aren't 100% finished but they look ok so far, the story doesn't seem to bad and there's a bit of humor thrown in, and he's not horrible as Hal but I can't figure out why I'm not digging him as Hal or the trailer itself! It really is annoying...

Me neither. Visually I guess if we're really pulling at strings Ryan Reynolds does kinda look like Hal. But anyways after looking at the imdb page I found one great thing about this movie, and her name is Blake Lively...finally a little bit of incentive!

Really? I still don't buy her as Carol Ferris, especially opposite Reynolds. I mean, she's attractive, sure, but she doesn't seem like his equal at all. You know what, that's one reason I don't like the trailer...it seems like she's his cute little sister or something.

Well as eye candy, great. As a good actress, not so great. Pulling at strings here i guess. But you said they didn't finish the Special effects yet but did they finish the GL suit, doesnt look so flattering.

I do like her with the dark hair though too, I think it suits her. And I really don't know HOW finished any of it is, I just heard that they're only just getting into the effects so none of it is polished yet. So, really, I dunno.
