READER MAIL: GL INVITATION

Ha, check out this pick ROBERTO Z just emailed me.... I like the JIMSMASH on the screen in the background - nice touch!

I'm not thrilled to go see this flick... but do plan on seeing it. While it doesn't appear to be the movie I WANT (whatever is, really?), it does look to have potential - a great, imaginative sci-fi action comic flick!

Enjoy Roberto! Thanks for the pic!

I totally agree with what you wrote. I got back into GL w/ rebirth a couple of years ago and kept up through sinestro corps war and blackest night. What i loved was that it was a sci-fi galactic space comic.

Regarding the movie, the scenes on oa and in space were awesome. But the long drawn out scenes on earth seemed lame, awkward, and just plain goofy. I understand this movie was a set up for future films, but I really wish it was a full blown space sci-fi film. They barely show the other green lanterns. Too many humans. Movie version of Hal is nothing like the comic, at all, just a vehicle to show off a really fit dudes body. The best gl look is when he is by the sun.

I also felt Thor should have been a full on comic movie set in the theatre of space.
