After Super 8 the week before there was no dis-honesty involved. Went expecting the ordinary and got it and thanked my lucky stars I didn't pay for the priviledge!!BRENThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953231992674091002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361829068869115622.post-29316417786837185742011-06-23T11:37:36.456-07:002011-06-23T11:37:36.456-07:00Ryan Reynolds looked awful in his costume - his he...Ryan Reynolds looked awful in his costume - his head and body reminded me of lego.<br /><br />You were a lot kinder to GL than I thought you would be. <br /><br />I really didn't like it.

Yeah Filmtel it...Thanks for the comments guys!! <br /> <br /> Yeah Filmtel it was a missed opportunity but when I think back over so many mainstream films I've seen this year it is a constant comment I have made. I really am sick of crap like this being foisted on us.<br /><br />CDR yep you ain't missing anything if ya don't see it!! Buried is probably the only decent thing Reynolds will do in his career.<br /><br /> Daniel is old like me!! I had forgoten about Enemy Mine until I saw the trailers to this. Honestly that purple head shot is lifted sraight from EM isn't it!!<br /><br />Ty..good choice my friend as this isn't worth bothering with, and don't get me started on Super 8!!BRENThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953231992674091002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361829068869115622.post-410993312511872152011-06-22T08:19:14.148-07:002011-06-22T08:19:14.148-07:00Will make sure to avoid this.

Having prior knowledge of GL in a different form, I was terribly let down as well. It's so incredibly generic and lazy, the result of group think, 3 writers if I remember correctly. The FX off world were well done I thought at the very least.Danielhttp://flicksfan.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361829068869115622.post-80825122960019043382011-06-22T05:19:42.493-07:002011-06-22T05:19:42.493-07:00I respect Reynolds for Buried, but have no real in...I respect Reynolds for Buried, but have no real interest in seeing this.Chris David Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02042114431864864898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361829068869115622.post-2110734238248264362011-06-22T05:05:39.350-07:002011-06-22T05:05:39.350-07:00Never even heard of ENEMY MINE (let alone seen it)...Never even heard of ENEMY MINE (let alone seen it) but either way: think that shot of the purple alien in the trailer was a bad marketing choice - it certainly seemed to turn more people off then it turned on. I've said this a couple of times elsewhere but I genuinely think this is a real missed opportunity to do something different with a comic book film. The development of Jordan in the books doesn't follow that of a typical hero at all and so many things could have been done with this above and beyond what you describe above. I'm waiting for the DVD, which is in itself a sad indictment of the vast amounts of negative opinion this has generated.Sam Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05696602364349746693noreply@blogger.com
