Angela Bassett, Peter Sarsgaard

Just came back from the cinemas yesterday watching this first ever GL live-action film, and before I go on to give you of what I thought of the film, let me tell you first that I was pretty discouraged to watch the film because of the overwhelming negative reviews from film critics and fans all over the world.

But I'm glad that didn't succumb to that and still decided to watch the film, because despite what the critics say and the bad stuff that injured the movie - Green Lantern was still definitely a fun film (if you will just let it entertain you).

Not as good as the recent Thor, (the first) Spider-Man, or Iron Man, but it was better than the two Fantastic Four films, and even Spider-Man 3.

In Brightest Day... In Blackest Night... Behold The New "Green Lantern" Trailer's Might!

How many trailers have we seen for this movie? 5? 10?

But let me tell you guys, this one is the BEST OF ALL OF THEM.

Warner Bros. has released their newest 3D GL trailer and features never-before-seen clips and a narrated history of the Green Lantern Corps courtesy of Geoffrey Rush. Now non-comic book fans would finally have some enlightenment. 

Prepare to be blown away.

"Green Lantern" opens on June 17 starring Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Mark Strong, Peter Sarsgaard, Angela Bassett, Tim Robbins, Temuera Morrison, and Taika Waititi. Directed by Martin Campbell.

'Abin-Sur' Spotlighted In Latest 'Green Lantern' Poster & Ryan Reynolds Talks About GL

The purple GL who crashlanded on Earth only to be found by future intergalactic spacecop Hal Jordan, Abin Sur:

And then GL star Ryan Reynolds talks with ComicBookResources about meeting director Martin Campbell for the first time, seeing the set, wearing a non-real GL suit, his inspiration for the 'Hal Jordan' character, putting on a real Green Lantern ring on set, and more juicy information about the upcoming superhero flick!

Kilowog and Sinestro Beat Hal Jordan's Ass In Latest 'Green Lantern' Trailer

Just like the title says. And more footages featuring the Guardians of Oa, Doctor Hammond, Parallax, the Green Lantern Corps, and Carol Ferris (Blake Lively).  

Though I'm pretty impressed with the trailer and some of the CGI scenes, I still don't dig Hal Jordan' mask. It really looks weird to me for some reason. Anybody who feels the same? 

'Green Lantern' is directed by Martin Campbell and stars Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Angela Bassett, Mark Strong, and the voices of Michael Clarke Duncan and Geoffrey Rush. Scheduled for a June 17 release.

Warner Bros Releases A New Green Lantern Poster

Following up the recent GL WonderCon trailer (which was very well received), Warner Bros released this new poster for their upcoming superhero movie starring our favorite emerald intergalactic-space police.

Ryan Reynolds looks very cool with that costume and I like the mask he's wearing. I wanna get one.

A Far Better 'Green Lantern' Trailer Shows Up At WonderCon

This abridged trailer for the much awaited DC movie starring Ryan Reynolds as  the 'greatest Green Lantern of all time' showed up on WonderCon and boy, does it hype the movie so much now that I can't wait to see it.

Just click on the play button to see Hal Jordan, Tomar-Re, Kilowog, Abin-Sur, and Sinestro with all the other Lanterns looking good in their CGI-glory. It even has Doctor Hammond looking scary and goofy at the same time, so go ahead and watch it!

2011 Superhero Film Galore List!

The time is fast approaching for the releases most-awaited comic book movie adaptations and to be honest, I think this year is the biggest of them all because we've got 4 big named characters showing up in latex, spandex, gloves, and a toy hammers.

Marvel is really stepping it up and is continuing their Marvel Cinematic Universe by releasing two of their biggest characters on the silver screen, while DC has finally gave one emerald police his chance to shine. Plus the battle of car transforming robots will continue to wage on for the third time and one of comic's most iconic mutant teams will tell their own beginnings during the 1960s. 

Here's the list of movies we've all been waiting for to get our eyes on (more movies after the jump):

(Now I'm wondering how am I going to watch all of these in theaters.. sheesh.)

Thor - May 6, 2011

Our Mjolnir-weilding thunder god's origins will finally be revealed after seeing his hammer at the end of Iron Man 2. 

Stars Chris Hemsworth as Thor and a recently knocked-up-by-a-ballet-dancer-but-still-hot Natalie Portman. Directed by Kenneth Branagh.

I think this is better than Marvel's official poster. 

X-Men: First Class - June 3, 2011

Another origin story for our favorite mutant team of all time set in the 1960s. Its going to be weird seeing Charles Xavier with a load of hair on his feared telephatic head. Its Wesley Gibson with uber-telekenetic powers baby! 

Will star James McAvoy (Xavier), Michael Fessbender (Magneto), January Jones (Emma Frost) and a bunch of other guys that I don't know. Directed by Michael Vaughan.
