Cassidy: Excellent post and very good points. I keep seeing the trailer getting ripped apart by fans but honestly I think the trailer could of been cut better, The suit which I guess is supposed to look energy based was made cgi since they wanted it too look alien and stand apart from other films, but I do agree it looks out of place.
They could have achieved that "otherworldly look" with a real costume and added digital effects, instead of an entirely digital costume. I'm honestly not sure what looks more out of place, the costume itself or Ryan Reynolds very real face next to that very fake costume.
Cassidy: Got no doubts about Ryan Reynolds being awesome as he usually is and I would add Chaos theory and Smoking Aces (especially the last 20 mins) to the list of this guy can act.
Ooh, good additions, I forgot about those, though I wouldn't necessarily call Smoking Aces a "dramatic" role for him, but it is definitely not comedy.
Cassidy: Also on related note have you seen the Green Lantern: First Flight movie?.
What self-respecting Green Lantern fan hasn't? I'd also recommend David Boreanaz's portrayal of Hal/GL in "Justice League: The New Frontier". It's more of a re-telling of the Silver Age origins of the character than First Flight was (it completely ignores the elements of Emerald Dawn that have been added to the origin), but it is an excellent representation of the character. Plus the movie has NPH as Barry Allen/The Flash, which is a fantastic piece of casting.
