Wow. I had that exact same thought. "I can't believe I'm actually seeing a Green Lantern movie! Good or bad, how cool is that?!?!" But now that I read that snippet below, I feel guilty and sad. I was wrong to feel that way. Seriously, they make a great point about supporting crap simply because we're familiar with a brand.

We should really be done talking about this -Summary - Bad movie didn't make moneybut this review was super funny, so I am linking to it. Don't want to read the whole thing? The excerpt sums it up -"Even if you’re a die-hard fan of the comics, I’m hesitant to say wait for it on Netflix. Which brings me to another point, Joey Esposito over at IGN Comics agrees this movie isn’t that good, but still thinks it’s awesome because fans are finally seeing a Green Lantern movie anyway. Are you kidding me? That’s how these studios win. When you just lie down and go, “At least I get to see some dickhead dressed up like my favorite superhero,” that’s how we end up with movies based on board games and basically anything with brand recognition, so just assume breakfast cereals are next."
