Green Lantern (2011)

In a nutshell... a little disappointing.

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!! 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...

My Two Sen

RUBBISH. hated it

not so bad la...
ok ok... but among the 3 superheroes movie this year, X-men:1st Class > Thor > Green Lantern

love the starting jet fighter scenes... w00t!
hate the villain fights.... too meh and ends too fast

there's so much potential for Hector to explore, but yet...
as for parallax... so bad ass in the beginning, but at the end again

Nice starting, but bad ending
but Carol is hawt in there

but I guess they already decided that the next sequel will be Hal vs Sinestro with yellow ring
