Green Lantern Movie Costume Controversy in a Box



For filming, Reynolds' actual costume that he wears on set is full of sensors, much like the suits that athletes wear when lending their on-field moves to video games. After the scenes are shot, the sensors allow for the costume to be added via post-production technology. The reveal of Reynolds' computer-created costume has garnered reactions that range from praise to saying the thing makes Reynolds look a little "silly."

Thus, begins the controversy over Ryan Reynold's Green Lantern costume for the much anticipated Summer 2011 superhero movie.  You can read the rest of the article at Yahoo.

Is this Firestorm pantaloons... firestorm all over again?

Comic book movies are not comic books.  Movies are a different medium from comic books, and the people involved in making movies have different ideas about the hows, whys, and whats of superheroes than comic book creators do.  Do I really have to say that?  All these comic book fan(atic)s need to get over themselves.  They don't call the shots in Hollywood; they barely do in the comic book industry.  Or is it that they just love to complain.

This one is great beast looks cool as well, more realistic, more like the beast. I like the costumes too.download Green Lantern movie
