If the above statement is untrue, I swear I will eat my hat. The footage from Wondercon couldn't have been more impressive than what we had previously watched with slight disappointment during the Superbowl(and after, on Youtube, for us non-Americans). My singular complaint is now the look of Hal Jordan's mask, allegedly a fitting cover for his true identity, but really it seems like someone's went for his face with a green marker during an all-night drink and drugs bender(hardly the image any superhero would wish to project into the public consciousness. One thing also seems apparent in the trailer; Parallax in not simply a far off concept in the movie; in fact, it seems to be the very thing to grant Hector Hammond his swollen head, heightened awareness, creepy telekinesis and Carol Ferris obsession!
Anyway, having only witnessed 4 mins of absolutely thrilling and fun footage, it seems churlish to say much more until I get the chance to review the film proper sometime soon! Whatever happens, this movie will truly be an indelible part of this sumner's busiest season.Beware The Power
(2nd February 2012 Post-script: Shit. I still don't think it was as bad as the media made it out to be, but, boy, was I wrong. The only good thing to come from the movie's abysmal performance is I can use the incredibly inaccurate prediction of this post as an excuse for the lack of activity on my blog, rather than my laziness, which is the actual reason!)
