I have to be honest, I’m not the biggest Green Lantern fan in the world. I’ve never not like him, but he’s always just been a background character in my mind. What little I know about him are from the WB/DC Animated films that have been released and from trades such as Justice League: The New Frontier. So, my interest in this film to begin with on a scale from “This Looks Horrid” to “I Must See This at Least 3 Times in Theaters” was right around “Meh, looks pretty fun”. But the more I see of this film from trailers and TV spots, the more excited I get about it.
This most recent trailer literally gave me chills, especially towards the end with the reciting of the infamous oath! Perhaps my lack of familiarity with this character is raising my hopes about this film, but as of right now I will be at my local cinema opening weekend!
Green Lantern hits theaters on June 17, is directed by Martin Campbell and stars Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard, Mark Strong, Angela Bassett, Tim Robbins, Temuera Morrison, Jay O. Sanders, Taika Waititi, Jon Tenney, Geoffrey Rush and Michael Clarke Duncan.
