Where does Green Lantern rank on your list of favorite comic book movies?

WB just reissued in on dvd on their website, along with the superhero roast with Ed MacMahon, Herculoids, and some other old flicks they couldn't get away with putting in stores.

V For Vendetta is so underappreciated. I fucking LOVE that movie. I own it on bluray AND dvd and have watched it probably 20 times. The whole Evey sequence in the middle of the movie is wonderful. And the change at the end was worth it. I flick a booger at the haters.

The reason I don't really like V for Vendetta is because when compared to it's source it's really dumbed down. The revolution at the end is really tame and orderly but it's a full scale riot in the book. I understand not having the Fate computer in it but I think that added so much to it as well. Not to mention the end. To me it was more effective that the Chancellor was murdered by one of the many ordinary folks who had just had enough.

It's entirely circumstantial. If you hated Transformers then you would have no reason to see the second and the 3rd since it's the same team, same director and most of the same cast.

Look at the reverse. The Excorsist is great but it's sequels had totally different creative teams and were lame. By your logic then the 1st movie sets the benchmark of quality for anything else that follows. That's not true. If you see trailers that look like the sequels are going in a new direction, why not? If you see a new director or writer attached who knows what they are doing then you have reason to believe it could be different. This isn't a one size fits all situation.

Well just have to agree to disagree. But me personally, If I hear a person sit there and go on about how much they hate Rob Zombies Halloween and How The Hooror world is coming to and end because of it. I respect that opinion, But then when that same asshole buys the special edition DVD then goes and sees the sequal opening night. Thier opinions and views become meaningless.

You don't have to like it but don't I am sure you can understand where I am coming from. I know a crew of guys that work at movie stop and they are kinda movie snobs. They will go see a sequal of a movie they hated just so they they can bad talk it. Surely you all have met people like that as well.

I was fine with the changes because some of the source material just wouldn't have worked on the big screen. The Voice Of Fate being changed to a Bill O'Reilly type of tv personality worked. The mob at the end with the masks actually kind of took my breath away. I thought that image really made the end come together with what V wanted; for the people to take back their lives and their country. And Hugo Weaving was fucking awesome as V.

Don't get me wrong, I prefer the Moore version; I bought the 10 issues as they came out and loved it enough to buy it again in Absolute format. That will always be the REAL version to me. I just loved what they did with the movie.

Totally agree with you there.

Fair enough. Also glad they didn't put the nuking of Africa in it.

3. Superman
4. Captain America
5. V For Vendetta
6. Spider-Man 2
7. Superman II

It's in my top 3 I'd have to say. V for Vendetta is my top one though (It's tied for my favorite movie of all time.)

V for Vendetta is better than Dark Knight, in your opinion?

I would say the GL movie is in my top twenty superhero films, although not high on the list.

[Michael Heide Heide Finition Find all posts View Profile Close Michael Heide]

My top 5:

1. American Splendor
2. Ghost World
3. The Dark Knight
4. Sin City
5. Superman: The Movie

Green Lantern ranks somewhere at the bottom. It's nowhere as bad as Catwoman, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen or Batman and Robin, but I'd say that Daredevil (Director's Cut), Batman Forever and Son of the Mask are all better than Green Lantern.
