Assessing 2011's Nine Comic Book Movie Adaptations
Paste gives us the low down.
From the piece (in regards to Ryan Reynolds' coming Green Lantern movie)...
Green Lantern
Release Date: June 17
Director: Martin Campbell
Stars: Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard
The origin: The first Green Lantern appeared in DC Comics in 1940 as the possessor of a powerful ring used to keep the universe safe.
Why it might kick ass: Campbell saved James Bond with Casino Royale and the Warner Brothers seems to think it has a hit on its hands.
Why it might suck: The dialogue in the trailer is dripping with cheese, and I’m not yet sold on Reynolds as super-hero (though he’ll get to try again in next year’s Deadpool).
