Green Lantern (2011)

In a nutshell... a little disappointing. sad.gif

The main culprit, storyline and character development.

Why the heck hire powerhouses like Peter Sarsgaard, Angela Bassett and Tim Robbins and DO absolutely NOTHING with them....

What they got right are

1) The costume (I know I know, many do NOT like and I have to add, it kinda work)
2) Green Lantern flight. They have made Superman and countless oter superheroes fly before. What is different. Green Lantern has a "Style" of flight (almost ballet, the best way I can describe) and they managed that
3) Making Green Lantern during flight, look really. In the last Superman movie, almost everytime Superman flew, he look CGI....
4) Planet Oa
5) The Green Lantern Corp
6) Sinestro

What they got wrong

1) There is ABSOLUTELY NOT chemistry between Blake Lively and Ryan Reynold. Who would have THUNK!!!! They are both attractive people... Blake Lively reminds me of a much younger Lara Flynn Boyle, with a dash more weight!! tongue.gif She just never got into the role...
2) After a great 1st act, the 2nd and 3rd act went steadily downhill...

There is also an anomaly in the movie....

If you decide to only one superhero movie this year, I actually recommend X-Men First Class rather then this... Shame, I LOVE DC Heroes... I really do...

Funny that I like MARVEL heroes ... but prefer GL more than X-Men...

maybe the more you know/invested in the characters in the comics, the more part particular you are on how they portray it in the movies.

Actually... despite of everything - did Guy Gardner appear in the movie?hmm.gif

It wasn't irritating in the comic book. In the movie, every time he puts the mask on, and his eyes turn milky white, I thought I was watching a ZOMBIE movie!!!!!!! laugh.gif

I know this isn't the movie exactly, and have to add, it is VERY enjoyable (more so, compared to the movie)

Nice to see the Green Lantern Corp working together
