Watch: Official "Green Lantern" trailer featuring Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively

There are pretty much two kinds of good superhero movies now: the brooding, ambitiously serious types like The Dark Knight and Watchmen, and the more popcorn-friendly yet still edgy types like the Iron Man series and the most recent Spider-Man franchise.
Judging from the trailer below, Green Lantern, which features Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, should probably be in the Iron Man category, but it also kind of wants to Dark Knight it up a little. We read and hear lines like, "The brightest day, the blackest night," and "In our darkest hour, there will be light." Or, in other words, "Take me seriously!"
But since you probably know more about this comic-book business than we do, you'll probably better know how seriously we should be taking this movie. Watch the trailer below and let us know!

Wow... so gay! And I say that in a good way.
Not to be a nerd, but the whole In Brightest Day thing is the Green Lantern oath and goes back to the character's beginnings. So you should probably read that as "we're trying to be relatively accurate in our portrayal of this fairly classic character." But good job doing a quick glance of the internet to make sure you knew what the hell you were talking about.
Also, this doesn't look very good.
Have these wholesome American heroes always been such philandering speed-junkies or is that a new thing?
Hal Jordan as a philandering speed junkie is a fairly honest take on the character. He really was a test pilot, and a former Air Force fly boy. But beyond that many argue that Hal originally had no personality. So cocky and speed-freakish can fit as well as anything else.
