Do not be fooled by the Green Lantern Extended Cut
It's not what you think. Stay away by all means.

For those of you hoping to see more of Oa and the Corps in the Extended Cut of Green Lantern I am sorry to say that you wont find it. The only thing extended is the opening where instead of going straight to Abin Sur after the awakening of Parallax we are treated to an 8 minute sequence of Hal Jordan, Carol Ferris and Hector Hammond as children. That is it.

All what this version extends is the epic failure that is Green Lantern by treading ground that was already covered in the theatrical release. Do the smart thing, save the $25 and buy Captain America: The First Avenger the week after this waste of film stinks up shelves October 18th

It sucked either way.

Just adds to the list of why we will not see a second GL film anytime soon!

It kind of makes sense. To throw in an Oa scene or something would likely cost a lot of money given the CG imagery that you'd have to create. Scenes like that 8-minute thing are probably relatively cheaper to throw in. And these days, you just HAVE to have some kind of bullshit extended cut, even if the director was already happy with the theatrical version (Exhibit A- Apologists crying for a director's cut of Singerman, even though Bryan Singer himself says the theatrical cut IS the director's cut!).

I enjoyed GL but I'm not so sure it's DVD-worthy... but Thor and Cap sure as hell are.
