I'm going to the movies with some friends in about an hour and we plan to just pick something once we get there. We will either watch Green Lantern, Super 8, X-Men, or Cars 2. None of us have seen any of them and we are interested in all of them. I want to know from the moviegoers of the myLot community which movie is better (no spoilers please).

I would choose the Green Lantern. My husband & I went to see the newest XMen movie about 2 weeks ago I think it was. It was good, but not as good as any of the others before it. I also thought it was a bit too long. At one point I couldn't wait any longer, I had to get up & use the rest room, but apparently I didn't miss anything much my husband said so that's saying a lot right there LOL.

Well I did end up seeing the Green Lantern and I liked it very much. It wasn't as good as Iron Man or the Incredible Hulk or the Spiderman movies but it was certainly better than how the critics described it. I think the critics were being overly cynical towards the film. It is a science fiction movie and it must be watched like a science fiction movie. You can't watch it thinking "This is stupid there's a guy in a green suit fighting a big stupid monster looking thing and there's a whole bunch of purple and red aliens". You can't look at it that way. You have to look at it like a science fiction movie. The shiny guy in a Green suit, you have to look at him and not think "Oh this is stupid Ryan Reynolds with a CGI-added green suit" but think "Oh that's Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern". You must take the movie and watch it for what it is. Because on the surface it looks like Star Trek with a bad plot. But if you let yourself watch it without any cynicism, you'll see a gem of a movie!

if you don't read or follow any graphic novels or comic books, you can go for x-men over green lantern, or you could go for Cars 2
Super 8 is ok too, but I've heard from a lot of people that they got pretty disappointed, so I guess it is up to you
and if you're not that much into movies or an avid watcher, someone who is passionate about the details, you can pretty much watch any of the mentioned films
