Yeah, I am confused why people keep stating that the CG looks bad (Ravenface and other TUG members). As compared to what? Avatar? Sure. Tron Legacy? Absolutely. Sucker Punch? Maybe. Iron Man 2? No way. Widge made a really good point on the last recorded TUG podcast recording and I agree with him. He stated, and I'm paraphrasing, that we all have such a high standard of CG these days that if something comes along that meets or doesn't exceed the bar then we turn our heads in disgust. From what I have seen, the CG in this movie is by far some of the best we have seen in today's live action movies. I think another reason we turn our heads in disgust of the CG in this movie is because there is so much of it. But there has to be as this is a Green Lantern movie set mostly in a fictional world and fictional universe that has to be pulled out of one of the most extreme mediums that is the comic book. There is no way this movie could have been done well with all the CG needed five years ago. I'm not making any judgement about this movie now, if I can help it. At first, yes, I judged the teaser trailer and cringed. Recent trailers give me more hope that this may be an entertaining movie. I know it will not be a blockbuster movie but I will reserve judgement of whether it is good or not after I have seen it when I see it opening weekend.
