Iffy on the PG-13 rating.
PG-13 I can live with. I mean we saw how well an R Rating worked for Watchmen. But... Blue skin... Um, have they not picked up a Lobo comic? Still, my favorite DC character getting a movie is cool news to me.
This sounds awesome! Oh, wait...

Nope, gonna suck.

I had a similar thought...I just can't see how they think he's blue....*shrug* I do like Guy Richie as a director, so maybe this will somehow turn out to be good.
The major reason this won't work well as a film is that Lobo is a parody of 90's comics, and we don't have a film equivalent of 90s comics for movie-goers to get the joke.
Well Talavar, he was a parody........but he was a parody a LOT of people never got....
and then they started to parody HIM.....

Rather like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Maybe they'll make Lobo a wise cracking, pizza-loving surfer wanna be.
Wow, high-budget movies. There's no telling what he'll do now that he's out of his contract with the she-devil!

so...do we still have any reason to care for that movie?
I'd rather see another Sherlock Holmes. That was a good movie.

Amen! I can't wait for another Sherlock movie.
I'd rather see a documentary on the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan than a movie about Lobo. It would be far more kid-friendly.
I'd rather even see a military training video about the dangers of venereal diseases. It would still be disgusting, but at least it would be educational...
