We were already heading down that road. It was only a matter of time.

I am seeing Lumenskir's point for once, which is that whether the character is named Hal Jordan or Kyle Raynor is not going to affect whether it is a bad movie or not. Imagine that Ryan Reynold's character is named Kyle Raynor. Is the movie suddenly better?

...besides which John Stewart was the one from the cartoon, and it was a pretty awesome cartoon.

That's not even close to what I was saying. What I was saying was that the movie wasn't true to the character. Hal Jordan didn't need to overcome fear, Kyle did. The character arc didn't fit right and I feel maybe it would have meshed better if they had replaced him with Kyle Rayner. It sure would have gotten rid of that wannabe Top Gun bullshit.

A little because Nique agreed with me on something recently and I need another person to disagree with every reasonable thing I believe, but mostly because my intentions were much less grand, I'm just going to say that my 'point' in posting the article was that I found it funny and had just read it like four minutes before I posted, and Sevenshot's post was the only one I bothered searching for that mentioned Kyle.

But from what you are saying the character basically is Kyle Rayner, they just chose the wrong character to name him, and the only thing that would have changed is instead of being an airplane pilot he woulda been something else, and maybe a couple of other little things. It still would have mostly the same events, dialogue, plot, etc. It still would have been really boring and silly. So it wouldn't be any better.

Thing I liked was atleast early on, all the talk about imagination and creativity, and his answer to just about everything was blow it up with a laser.

when you get down to it just about any weapon a human would be exposed to is no match for all that cosmic energy being compressed into a tight beam of destruction

See, that always pissed me off. Comic Johnwas an architect, and most of his constructs were second only to Kyle in design. Cartoon John basically just pulled the same shit that Hal would.

Judging from this thread, my assumptions from the trailers, and reviews, it is indeed up to par alongside other comic/super hero movies.
