RS:Those are definitely my kind of action films, though – the ones that have lots of car chases and gunfire, as opposed to CGI robots punching each other. Today’s superhero films have very little about them that’s visceral.

MC:Oh, I agree with you, and one of the things in The Green Lantern that we’re doing is that when people get hit -- and Green Lantern gets hit in this – it hurts. In most superhero movies, they never are hurt. What you see in those movies is someone getting blasted a hundred yards into a brick wall and then they turn and shake their head and just go right back into the action. None of them ever seem to suffer because of it. That’s something where, I hope with The Green Lantern we’ll be able to make it slightly more real than it’s possibly been in some of the other superhero movies.
