Very excited to go see this! I didn't get to see any of the other recent Super Hero movies on the big screen, but dammit, this one I will if I have to go by myself!
Still not sold on the CGI costume, especially the mask (though at the panel they reportedly said specifically that the mask CGI wasn't done yet).
Hector Hammond, Parallax, Sinestro, a glimpse of how badass Abin Sur was... and the bit about the oath was definitely cute. A+, would watch again. In fact, already have.
What were the Lanterns chanting at the end, though? We are what?
And yeah, much better than the first trailer -- especially by having less focus on Hal Jordan, hotshot test pilot and overgrown high-school jock, and more on the new Green Lantern coming to terms with being a grown-up. I wasn't so sure I wanted to see the movie after the first one; now I do.
And suddenly, the cheese is gone and the Corps is cool and maybe Ryan Reynolds won't be that bad. And when he recites the oath...wow.
I just hope that in trying to get all the details right for the fans, they don't make this inaccessible to the millions who don't know Abin Sur from Mogo.
Also, I seriously hope they don't have Mogo. That would go over about as well as the full-on Kirby purple-helmeted Galactus would have in Rise of the Silver Surfer..
Lizzie was coming out of the shower, and realized that I had turned the music off. She said "something interesting?" I told her and she said "I'll be right there.
