Bring it on down to Green Lanternville...

I don't think this was posted yet, but it does a pretty great job of summing up the film:

The Phantom still rules the ring-wearin' hero roost.

Billy Zane wasn't wearing what's essentially a futuristic Irish Rugby kit.

Advantage: Reynolds.

This one really got a chuckle out of me:

  Spoiler: Lame action scene spoiler! 

Blake Lively's Dad: Well, Hal, despite you being a total prick, we got the military contract anyways. You are invited to this big fancy party that I'm throwing with the money I ended up saving after I fired all those people.
Hal Jordan: Awesome. (steals people's drinks even though there's an open bar)
Hector Hammond's Dad: I am going to think mean things about you, son, and then get on a helicopter.
Hector Hammond: I'm going to hear those mean things, because of my new ill-defined powers, and then I'm going to break your helicopter while it's in flight.
(Hector Hammond's Dad gets in helicopter, it takes off, Hector Hammond breaks it with his mind, it crashes at the edge of the party and slides length-wise through it, potentially killing dozens of people)
Blake Lively: Oh no! The helicopter is getting close to me!
Hal Jordan: I have finally decided to help! (puts helicopter on elaborate, ostentatious giant Hot Wheels track instead of just stopping it)
Every Single Other Person at the Party: Christ, what an asshole.

If everyone elsewhere nit-picking the "logic" of a film whose central conceit involves the ability to harness the power of will via space jewellery held their water for a second, some of them could dig that, too.

Well, basing an entire franchise around the least imaginative guy getting the power to will anything into existence was mistake numero uno.

Should have just gone with a Rayner movie. Reynolds would have been a perfect Kyle.

My favorite part to that entire sequence was how fucking dumb every single person in the crowd was.

[Captain Russ]

Reynolds.

Isn't Billy Zane.

Advantage: Zane

I just enjoyed the pretty pictures.

Man that Topless Robot article is the funniest damn thing I've read in a while. It's really helping me come to terms with the fact that my favorite super hero was made into a film that ranks somewhere near Fantastic Four 2 in the pantheon of comic movies.

[Captain Russ]

That is an awesome link, Ari. I'm dying at the "Well guess fucking what? It was Parallax" exchange.

OK, that made me laugh pretty hard.

Ari convinced me to give this trainwreck 90 minutes of my life when it hits Instant.

Dude, it's no where near as bad as either of the FF movies. SRS.

was thinking pretty much the same thing.

[Ari]

Dude, I'd say it ranks somewhere between FF1 & FF2.

[Abraham Smashington]

Granted you're a GL dork, but in terms of actual directing/acting, NO WHERE NEAR AS BAD.
