I haven’t seen Captain America: The First Avenger yet, but I didn’t care if I spoiled myself a bit to watch the final scene. Which, as every comic book movie fan worth their salt should already know, is the trailer for the Avengers movie directed by Joss Motherfuckin’ Whedon.

Watch it here, if you don’t mind spoilers:

Damn. I am SO stoked. What do you think?

Oh man, oh man, oh man. The new Green Lantern trailer is out, and i’m supposed to write a nice filler paragraph here explaining how excited I am for the new movie, also how much I hate Hal Jordan’s costume because really, fuck that shit that costume sucks. Anyway here’s the part where I’ll try to do a random segue so I can actually finish writing and just get on to the video, because, really it’s that awesome. I haven’t had decent sleep for a week already so please forgive my meta blogging jokes.

Finally: HAL JORDAN/SENESTRO SWORDFIGHT! KILLOWOG TALKING! MORE OF THAT MYSTERIOUS YELLOW CLOUD!

What do YOU think?

The Green Lantern film starring Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan was on my most-anticipated films a couple of years back. However, by the time they showed  us a preview of that horrible, horrible costume, and with the very lackluster trailer, my anticipation for this film waned down to a barely-audible “meh.” Green Lantern’s a favorite character of mine and it feels like the filmmakers were doing their best to strip from the movie everything that made the comic so great.

And I felt that way, until I saw this 4-minute video showing footage from WonderCon. This short clip totally restored my faith in my the movie. I’ll let the footage speak for itself.

Opening in 3D and 2D theaters on June 17, the Martin Campbell-directed action adventure stars Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard, Mark Strong, Angela Bassett, Tim Robbins, Temuera Morrison, Jay O. Sanders, Taika Waititi, Jon Tenney and Geoffrey Rush.

The costume still sucks, though.

What do you think of this new footage?

Okay, I was going to write about the incredibly stupid publicity photos from the Spider-Man musical featuring music by Bono, Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark (come to think of it, the title is also incredibly retarded) but I just realized that there’s a better piece of news that just came out, and this is probably something we all can agree on to be incredibly awesome. That Spider-Man play will have to wait. You see, the first trailer for the upcoming Green Lantern movie starring Ryan Reynolds is out! I’ve been a huge GL fan since Sinestro Corps War, and seeing one of my favorite comic book characters will be on the big screen soon is a huge deal, really.

Check out the trailer and some of my thoughts after the jump. (continue reading…)

I don’t think that there’s anyone here who doesn’t like Grant Morrison’s All-Star Superman. The 12-issue miniseries was very, very close to perfect, giving us the idealized version of Superman and it showed us how everyone since after John Byrne got the character all wrong.

When DC announced that they are making an Original Animated Movie adaption of All-Star Superman, I was a little apprehensive even though Dwayne McDuffie was writing it. Don’t get me wrong – I am very, very excited to see an animated All-Star Superman movie, but there’s just way too many things to screw up with a near-perfect comic book.

Now we have the first teaser trailer for All-Star Superman, and even though I have a few gripes with it, which I will discuss later, it makes me all the more excited for the movie. Trailer after the jump!
