For starters, here's the trailer.
I am so glad the Green Lantern outfit doesn't look like that godawful costume on the cover of Entertainment Weekly. I'm rather surprised they chose to go with a bright green rather than what seems to be the norm these days in making superhero colors much darker thanks to the success of Batman. Hal Jordan's character is much more party than he was in his original appearances, but that's a good thing given how a lot of comic book fans view Jordan as the most boring of the Earth Green Lanterns. There are reports that John Stewart (the black Green Lantern, not The Daily Show host) will make a cameo at some point during the movie, hopefully setting up the introduction of Guy Gardner as well. The comical visual effect of a giant green punch attacking some thugs is exactly what I wanted out of this movie, nothing like what Justice League did to John Stewart.
There were some negatives, though. I've never been a fan of Blake Lively and I'm even less a fan of her being Carol Ferris. If she is to ever become Star Sapphire, I'm going to declare the future franchise dead. Some of the visual effect characters are fantastic looking, like Kilowog and Abin-Sur, while others like Sinestro looks like crap. Yes, the movie is still far from release, but hopefully the studio will listen to fans and increase the budget for the CG effects. Hal Jordan's domino mask is... well I'm still not a fan of the shape, it's alright.
Everything is progressing well and hopefully we will see a superhero battle of epic proportions as Thor and Green Lantern are released around the same time.
