Geoff to blame for underperformance of movie?

[TazzMission Guardian of the Universe Find all posts View Profile Close TazzMission]

Spider Man and X Men's third movies did well because people loved their 2nds. When people get disgruntled with a franchise, it is usually the next part that pays at the box office, regardless of how good the part is.

Actually, the number of villains is overblown. If it is well-written, you can have a bunch of villains. The Nolan Batman movies proved that. But the way Hollywood tends to cram villains in, usually does result in a mess.

thats true.


i just hope that the next one follows sinestros turn to yellow and hopefully hal becomes more of a take charge type of guy now.

i love reynolds and he did great but the comedy is meant for film 1 so its time to grow his charachter

I do not agree with your point of view, so I must argue until next week? People have different opinions and the world is still the same. "Grow up".

End of conversation.

Next one please --->

I can't BELIEVE you just wrote that! What self respecting Bond fan would say Goldeneye was better than Casino Royale?!? I think you got that backwards!

I'll give you a moment to correct yourself...

I don't want to get into a debate,but most hardcore fans hate the new Bonds. If you liked watching James bond play Poker for half a movie,more power to you. Craig was so bad I wrote an apology letter to George Lazenby.lol But I guess taste is subjective. and the mob is not always right,but Bond is still dead to me now.

As for Green Lantern. It is a good flick. My major complaint is that it is too much like every other comic movie. spoilers below. Well kinda



.love intrest knows the secret identity
.battle damaged suit
.villian dies
.multiple villians

I could go on but you get the point. I don't see why this movie is being treated like it is an asshole for following the formula. Maybe because it has Michael Clark Duncan in it?

So, is the script (pre-shooting) online anywhere? Or even the shooting script? I'd love to read them.

Same here.

Before I blame Johns for anything, I'd truly like to know his involvement of the film. Meaning, creditable sources and links and not some anonymous source or blogger.

Geoff Johns won me over with his Sinestro Corps. I believe that storyline brought a lot of new fans into the world of Green Lantern.

He was on set a lot and was responsible for the parallax over legion change but I do not believe he was as in charge as some might think.

Do you have a link or source to that?

Bummer that I missed that article. I was trying to stay spoiler free of anything about the movie.

"The Dark Knight : One Of The Lamest Batman Stories Ever Told"

He is. I know it´s not everyone that liked TDK, but this?

Hahahahahaha

tdk was awsome but highly overrated imo


i agree with ionfan because people expect every comic film to live up to the dark knight wich is impossible because each charachter is diffrent

[Darth_Primus Guardian of the Universe Find all posts View Profile Close Darth_Primus]

I won't say that The Dark Knight ruined every comic book film thereafter. Or that any comic book film that does not reach the Dark Knight level is a failure or cannot be enjoyable. I mean, almost every scifi flick is compared to the original Star Wars flicks, but it doesn't mean that any scifi flick is a failure because it doesn't live up to Star Wars.

A comic book movie has to be good enough to stand on it's own. It doesn't have to be the next Dark Knight, but rather the first great movie of its own franchise.

You know what made the movie average? Ryan Reynolds shell acting, mishandled editing, and other problems. Geoff Johns should not be give credit nor blame if this a flop.

There is a fundable flaw (or two) to the Green Lantern movie, but no one has yet mentioned it (at least I haven't seen it).

Then why don't you do it and save everyone time trying to guess.
