As predicted Warner Brother’s Green Lantern topped the weekend box office with a less than impressive $52.6 million. Now you are probably asking yourself how that much money for an opening weekend is not considered impressive. However, Green Lantern is a $200 million film that is going to be hard pressed to make those dollars [...]

Box Office: GREEN LANTERN Kicks Off Friday With $21.6 Million
Defying less than stellar reviews, DC Comics and Warner Brothers should have a strong weekend performer with Green Lantern. Kicking off the weekend with $21.6 million (that includes the $3.4 million it made for Thursday midnights), the superhero film starring Ryan Reynolds should see a weekend total between $50-60 million. How do those numbers stack [...]
Movie Review: GREEN LANTERN
A movie based on the Green Lantern franchise has long been overdue. With huge comic book adaptation success in the past decade, both Marvel and DC Comics stories have been brought to the big screen. Some have soared while others have floundered. For every Spider-Man 2, there’s a Hulk. For every The Dark Knight, a [...]
Another THE MUPPETS Trailer Spoof – GREEN LANTERN
As you may recall, Disney‘s The Muppets has been coming out with some funny and ridiculous trailers, mostly poking fun at other movies from this summer. First, there was the one mocking The Hangover: Part II. Now, the next one that’s been released spoofs Ryan Reynold‘s Green Lantern film. It’s on par with the first [...]
New GREEN LANTERN Trailer is Perfect for Newcomers
We’ve been covering a lot of Green Lantern stuff the past few weeks, and as we inch towards the release date of June 17, my excitement has been growing. As someone with a cursory knowledge of the mythos, Green Lantern is showing itself to be a great adaptation of the story. However, there are a [...]
Brand New GREEN LANTERN Trailer
As we get closer to the release of Green Lantern, it’s becoming apparent it’s going to be a pretty big sci-fi flick. Traversing the universe with a ring that can create anything the wearer imagines is almost as fantastical as a story can be. I’ve had my reservations about Green Lantern, but there’s hope the [...]
Marvel Vs DC: New Comic Book Movie Images
Some new images and posters have emerged online courtesy of Bleeding Cool, Yahoo and MTV and they are all pretty sweet. From Green Lantern we have Sinestro and Kilowog character posters that would look great on my wall (Julia) and another image from X-Men: First Class and Captain America: The First Avenger. These movies [...]
Cover of the Week: Green Lantern Corps #59
Tyler Kirkham gives us a look into the future of Green Lantern. Hal Jordan, Kyle Rayner, Guy Gardner, and John Stewart have new looks in this issue of Green Lantern Corps that will raise some questions for fans. War of the Green Lanterns is the story line that is also continuing in regular Green Lantern [...]
New High-Res Images from GREEN LANTERN
This past weekend at WonderCon, Warner Brothers and DC unveiled 4 minutes from Green Lantern, the latest comic book adaptation to hit the big screen. Until recently we have seen very little marketing for this film as the first (and only) trailer debuted back in November. However, just in the last week we have seen [...]
Here’s Hoping GREEN LANTERN Will Save Comic Book Movies
As an amateur comic book reader and a huge movie guy, I often find myself siding with films as opposed to their source material when people ask which one is better. I am more comfortable with the movies than the comics, that’s just the way I am. However, as all people with one foot in [...]
First Official GREEN LANTERN Poster
Last week we mentioned a lack of marketing for Warner Brothers’ Green Lantern movie, and now it appears our wishes have been granted as we finally have an official one sheet movie poster for the film. Starring Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern, the film is due to arrive in theaters this summer. Up until recently [...]
4 Minutes of GREEN LANTERN Footage
Green Lantern Corps assemble! Okay, maybe that’s the wrong battle cry for the Corps, but I still feel like it fits here. Over the past two weeks fans and press alike have been shown up to eight minutes of this summers Green Lantern film and the hype has been great. Finally, those of us who [...]
Geoffrey Rush Voices Alien Tomar-Re in GREEN LANTERN
Academy Award nominated actor Geoffrey Rush is reportedly set to voice the alien Tomar-Re in DC’s Green Lantern movie. Hitting theaters this summer, Green Lantern stars Ryan Reynolds as the title character in Warner Brothers big screen adaptation of the DC comic book character. If you aren’t familiar with the Green Lantern world here is [...]
Cover of the Week: Brightest Day #22
Brightest Day #22 has such a great look to it. If I didn’t know what was going on in the series, I would still be terrified at what I am seeing on the cover. Ivan Reis draws the horrific Deathstorm clutching a White Lantern and with that death smile and the black smoke you know [...]
Cover of the Week: Green Lantern #63
I have a feeling that with the GREEN LANTERN movie coming up this summer that you all may start seeing more and more GL related covers. Gene Ha pencils this great cover with Krona “The Mad Guardian” sporting a predecessor to the Green Lantern power rings which is a powerful gauntlet of Will. I love [...]
Ryan Reynolds Talks GREEN LANTERN Costume; DEADPOOL Updates
Ryan Reynolds is one of Hollywood’s hottest commodities right now (I’m not referring to his looks, but that would also apply). He’s been around the past few years playing great comedic characters, but stretched his proverbial wings in the depressingly sad X-Men Origins: Wolverine. His pseudo-character, Deadpool, was one of the better things about the [...]
Cover of the Week: Green Lantern Emerald Warriors #7 Plus What The?
RODOLFO MIGLIARI depicts one of Fanboy Jeffs most feared situations and it’s not dinner with the in-laws. “Why did it have to be snakes?” The line made famous by Indiana Jones seems to be the way that our heroic Green Lanterns are feeling right at this moment. Migliari pulls all the stops in creating this [...]
Movie Trailer: BATTLE: LOS ANGELES
If aliens ever land on Earth and expect a warm Close Encounters of the Third Kind type of welcoming, they’ll find themselves at the brutal end of a US Predator Drone. Why? We all pretty much think aliens will want to kill us, and we’ll make first strike if we have to. Hey, freedom isn’t [...]
Fan Noise Episode 19: Socks For Christmas
Well, it’s time for the final Fan Noise episode of the year. The guys talk a bit of movies and a bit of Christmas. One of the most impressive Western films of our generation, True Grit, came out just before the holiday, and Roman and Jordan share their feelings about the Coen Brothers’ newest feature. [...]
10 Movies in 2011 That Might Suck
Let’s be honest folks; on Fanboyz.net, we typically give movies the benefit of the doubt. Yes, I will be the first to admit I have been hoodwinked by bad movies that looked good, but it’s usually unfair to judge a project before seeing it. Most comic and movie fans didn’t think Spider-Man 3 and X-Men [...]
