Reviews aren't going to make much difference to this movie one way or another, but if Warners is anxious that a lot of tepid-to-bad ones are in the offing it makes sense for them to enforce the embargo.
They make no difference to me.
I've already seen far more than enough about this movie to know that I'm going to enjoy it. It's pretty close to exactly what I want in a Green Lantern movie.
Beyond that, it'd be nice if this one makes enough money to warrant a sequel. To the extent that reviews matter in regard to the box office, I'd like to see good reviews. Looking back over quite a few of the big summer hits of recent years, though, there's not a lot of evidence that reviews affect the behavior of the kids who put these things over the top.

Yeah, I was really hoping this would get good reviews. But as long as the reviews for it aren't absolutely horrible here, I'm still going to see it. I don't know about anybody else, but I put alot more stock in what you guys on here think of these kinds of movies than I do the critics.
If that's what the criticial consensus is going to look like, might pass. My reservations on the film really have to do with how comparatively underwhelming the Earthbound action is completed to the interstellar fare, and as I'm not a fan of the franchise or particularly invested in the film I have no like, built-in interest in the movie.
Green Lantern was always my favorite superhero when I was a kid. I'm definitely looking forward to this.
And I'm not holding my breath for a Sinestro Corps War sequel, although I would love one. A sequel with all seven (eight? Nine?) Corps-es would be even better!

Ah well.
Early movie review: LeBron James says he didn't like The Green Lantern, too many characters with rings in the plot.
Well, he could have used one and maybe the will to power it.
Pfft, did you see him in the Finals? Way too much fear.

That link's not working right now although the headline at LAWeekly still points to it. The review was originally picked up from the Village Voice, though, and is online there.
Enforcement of these embargoes is generally selective - you've got to figure that the AICN guys who customarily suck up to studio summer movies are unimpressed by GL or at least one or two would be online over there.

The review embargo is suppose to last until Thursday, there will be a ton of reviews released that day.
Just was wondering if anyone wanted to start the film discussion and review thread? I was just going to wait until Friday to do it but those of you who are regular contributors to this thread would like to...feel free.
Well, unless one of us is supposed to see it in preview before Friday I think we might as well wait a day or two.
Not a great review, but a three out of five:
