I totally understand everyones opinions on not liking how they strayed from the comics, but you guys are taking this way to seriously. I personally think that this super advanced alien technology dumbed down to "a sphere, with cones and a handle" would be a terrible idea. Just as it would be to have Hal in a green and black jumpsuit that looks as though it was made by a human..
Also, we've BARELY seen any photos of the movie, and the ones that we have i am quite impressed with, such as Abin Sur's corpse. We've only seen a digital rendering of what Hals suit looks like but they even said that what we saw is NOT the final version of the suit.
Plus the Geoff Johns himself has had quite an overseer role in the production and creation of the movie. He has had nothing but amazing things to say, so i have faith that while this movie will not be pulled STRAIGHT out of the comics, that it will do justice to the character, franchise and fans.
I know that once a trailer is released, all the naysayers will be eating their hats for ever doubting the epicness of this movie. Frankly, i think the Jonah Hex comparison was uncalled for. That movie never had ANYTHING going for it.. Poor acting, poor set and prop design, lower budget, Megan fox (hot but terrible actress).
I really think CB fans really need to lighten up and be happy that these movies are even getting made.
