Did that first fiasco ruin the franchise or
can we expect to see Hal Jordan in the future.
Flash, Atom, Gotham, Green Arrow, Black Canary,Superman & Batman with Wonder Woman all have a new gig. Where's GL?

Haven't they already tagged a new GL in either "Dawn of Justice" or Justice League.

The movie kinda blew huge chunks no doubt.
But I don't get the hate for Ryan Reynolds in the movie. You could only do so much with that shitty script.

Not being a huge GL guy, can someone explain what the movie's shortcomings are?

The script is just terrible.

They just copied every superhero movie cliche and it seemed like they took 30 mins to write the script.

If they re-attempt Green Lantern, they need to spend a lot of time carefully considering the visuals, and craft the character accordingly.
GL is practically a genie (with green tint); anything he can imagine (and has the will to), he can do. That is an IMMENSE amount of power, and if done wrongly it's comically bad (giant Hotwheel cars, really???).
For a believable live-action GL, the ring's energy probably should look like greenish lightning with an impressive sound to it. I'd add that the character should look as though he's straining a little (bringing the will-power issue into play), with maybe a slight delay before the lightning forms a construct. The more impressive the construct, the greater the effort. Have him appear to be fighting the energy a little to keep it together.
A good start would be to examine several movie scenes: Yoda and Palpatine wielding Force-lightning, and how it seems to arc around a bit. Thor using lightning from his hammer- how he seems to summon it a second or so, and how he seems to fight it a bit.
For pure effects, go study the lightsaber scenes, listen to the sounds employed.
Another suggestion would be to keep the construct vague. You can determine whether the energy is containing or destroying, but leave intricately detailed (but glowing green) objects to the comic books. Go with pulsating energy suggestive of forms for the movie.
And for God's sake, write the character and story to appeal to adults. Play it straight. Kids will enjoy the magical effects; grownups will enjoy the "what would you do with this power" angle. Remember, if done straight, Green Lantern would be among the most powerful superheros around (for 24 hrs).

I felt bad for Renyolds in that one. Here was fine, script was brutally bad.
Other than RIPD he hasn't really had too many bad turns.

I think he's oung to be fantastic as dead pool. Again.

Personally I think they'd need to start fresh, like the first movie never happened.

I understand the script part, but to me, the look of it was just shitty. Something was just off.
Sorta like Star Wars II - the clone wars one. The movie sucked to high heaven but I can still watch it due to its visuals, which are fantastic in my opinion.

It looked like a cheap arse video game. Too much bad CGI. I don't know if they were in a rush to get it out for a release date or their reach exceeded their grasp.

Not just cheap cgi but silly cgi.

Agreed and the cgi suit was friggin awful.

Plus Blake Lively. She is a really really bad actress.

Yea I thought Reynolds actually did ok in the movie, imagine how bad IT COULD have sucked!

Yup.
The big bad was stupid.
The script bordered on ridiculous.
But Reynolds was fine in the role.
I can't wait to see what he can do with a good deadpool script.

When they do Green Lantern in the Justice League movie -- if Batman vs. Superman doesn't suck so bad that it kills all plans for this -- they ought to look at using John Stewart/Guy Gardner/Kyle Rayner. Just get away from Hal Jordan and that shitty movie.
