'Green Latern' finds early redemption with new Wondercon footage
The first trailer for "Green Lantern" was... well, crappy. The GGI looked cheap, plot seemed like an afterthought and Blake Lively struggled to deliver her solitary line.
Fortunately, it looks like Warner Bros. has spent a lot of time polishing it up, because the footage that debuted April 1 at San Francisco's Wondercon is nothing short of awesome.
An abridged clip of the new visuals is below (and streaming over at Apple). In addition to benefiting from the recently cast Geoffrey Rush's vocals (He only signed on to voice the computer-animated character Tomar-Re on Mar. 20), the new scenes have ample back story, awesome graphics and barely a moment of Lively's overacting.
Star Ryan Reynolds is obviously accounted for -- though his cartoonishly pulsating stomach muscles have taken a back seat since the trailer, in favor of hypnotic "Lantern" eyes.
According to multiple dispatches from the con, the clip drove people nuts. What do you think of it?

Was a big GL fan as a kid. Still not sold on the movie, even with the glowing muscles on Reynolds toned down, but this looks SO much better than the lousy first trailer. Will likely wait to see it until I hear from friends who've seen it.
So going to see this movie! Was planning on doing so even with the earlier trailer, but this is so much more awesome! June 17 can't come soon enough.
Now that the cut scene is over, can I start playing?
