    Latino Review said it best in their script review...it should be ultra violent and set in space/on exotic planets..I don't have any problem with Ritchie directing, I'm very interested to see what he can do with a science fiction action film...my only issue is that we could see this becoming Terminator Salvation meets Masters of The Universe...a great looking movie that is held back by it's setting and rating mold....

    Damnation! I'd much rather have an adaption of The Last Czarnian (along with the hilarious backstory bits in text form that included Lobo's childhood, his killing of an entire planet, as well as him causing destruction at the All-Czarnia 9-Octave Chime-Haiku Festival) than this new story idea. Seriously... him on Earth? Ugh. The Last Czarnian had it all! Death and dismemberment at an opera, a spelling bee, and Lobo sawing the legs of his elderly grade school teacher! Does any of that sound like PG-13 material?

    The film should be hard R, and like Punisher: War Zone... over the top. While Lobo might fit within the comics code of PG-13, the character (yes, which is a knock on Wolverine and The Punisher), and the comic was all about over the top violence.

    Sorry WB. You're goin' about this all wrong.

    Oh, awesome. Akiva Goldsman. My favorite Producer. Of all time. Ever.

    Ritchie is great (when he's at his best), but this already sounds like the uncreatives will lord over it until its generic and meaningless. And Goldsman's presence usually signals as much.

    Can you imagine a PG-13 Snatch? or Lock, Stock?

    Another example of how big Hollywood STILL doesn't get it.

    What other icon of my past are they planning on basterdizing next?
