The problem with super hero movies is that directors wan't to get all artsy-fartsy and ignore the primary rule of super hero movies..... NOBODY DIES, NOT EVEN THE VILLIANS! The only people who stay dead in the comics is Uncle Ben and Bucky... and even they come back every now and again.
Tim Burton did a great job with the Batman films, but he pits batman against th joker in the very first film and kills him. It can only be downhill from there.
The did the same thing with the spiderman trilogy..... they start by killing off Green Goblin... ok that isn't too bad, but they Kill off Doc-Oc in the second! That's the end of the franchise right there! By the third one they are pulling in third stringers like Sandman.
I'm not impressed with the spiderman reboot. They just want more money and realize that the previous films killed off all the best villians.
As for the Green Lantern film.... it was actually pretty good in terms of treatment. The problem is that Hal Jordan is a fairly generic super-hero. The things that always make GL books interesting is "the core" and all the fantastical villians and epic wars they get into. So they face him up against a wispy cloud and have him do the final battle solo... brilliant! Let's make a Superman film in which supes fights a bunch of regular bank robbers next!
Personally I've never found many of the super-powered superheros to be all that interesting. The real heroes are the one's without any special powers, like batman and the punisher. I mean if you are invulnerable like Superman aren't your only two life choices being a hero or being a total ---meecrob--- for NOT being a hero when you have all that power?
The exception of course is the "god" super heros like Thor..... there's something interesting about taking a public domain character and stuffing him in a cape and tights.

Only thing I thought when I saw the trailer was, You ripped off Mirror's Edge!

I think it looks ok. I am also a huge Spider-Man fan. The suit looks a little too Ben Reilly to me, and Andrew Garfield reminds me of a Justin Beiber kinda kid. He doesn't strike me as a Peter Parker. And I hate that they are doing yet another origin story. But whatever. I will watch every comic movie..they are becoming very cliche, but I can't help but watch them anyway.
