Another week, another Green Lantern trailer: this one in 3D. Well in theaters it's 3D, here it's just 2D (but with a decent amount of new footage).
Apparently the 3D effects for this trailer looked pretty spectacular in theaters. That makes me awfully happy, as I really want to see this early but don't want to settle for an inferior presentation. There is actually quite a bit of new footage here, even if we seem to be seeing much of the finale (including the apparent death of a major villain) right there in the trailer. There are a few new bits of Reynolds actually doing the whole superhero thing in costume, so that's a relief. Still, the actual 'Hal makes a glowing green car or a glowing green machine gun' scenes are going to be where dramatic credibility is lost (or absolutely affirmed). This one has just under a month to go, which means Warner has time for at least a half dozen more trailers. As always, we'll see...
