You know what?
I TAKE IT ALL BACK.

I just read an extended review of X-Men First Class and have decided that the Green Lantern movie will be awesome by any concievable comparison and that Marvel has seriously jumped the shark from my "Marvel holds to the source material" viewpoint.


While I can see anyone's complaints about Transformers, the comparison with comics is not really valid- the comics have established a look and personality over hundreds of appearances, each artist bringing someting to the table without a radical redesign- whereas in Transformers they have rebooted the whole concept and look of each character so many times that one more is annoying but hardly suprising.
You read Hannu from a decade ago and from last month and he's still obviously very close to his first appearance- even accounting for today's higher standards of art, color, etc.
I cant tell one transformer from another any more!

I still maintain my gripes about some Lanterns though- Hannu is AWFUL- hell, his figure does not even have a ring! Hopefully he will have one onscreen. A perfect example of screwing with a character for no real reason.
Isamot and Parallax are completely unrecognisible.

But okay, Sinestro, for all his pink glowing, obviously CGI skin is still obviously Sinestro- as is Abin Sur and the rubber chicken lantern, Tomar Re.

I'm pretty harsh in my critique because I want it to be as great as the last few yeras of the comics have been- and that trailer I linked leans in that direction.
