OK, i know that most everyone has seen the green lantern movie, and that everyone dislikes it for one reason or another. i just wanted to kind of address the subject, and hear everyone's thoughts, and to also share my own. i recently saw this movie for the first time about a week ago, and personally thought it was a good movie, but maybe that's for the following reasons:
1. I don't really read to much DC at all, maybe a few issues here and there, so i don't have a love for the character like all of the DC fans.
2. The CGI was pretty dang good, and i really liked Sinestro. (I'm a sucker for great CGI)
3. The story wasn't that bad, but then again i don't really know the whole story of Hal Jordan.
4. Parallax looked pretty cool, and the fight scene with GL was awesome. (despite the cheesy CHEESY movements while creating the constructs, like the catapult and Gatling gun and the horrendous belly flop.)
5. I love every CBM, and i probably always will.
Now saying those things, i want to say the things i didn't like this movie for:
1. Ryan Reynolds, not my favorite actor. hes not super hero material.
2. the love story kind of brought down the movie, and it was just sort of cheesy.
Mark Strong was probably my favorite part about the whole film, he's an amazing actor and he is very talented. i don't really know the story of Sinestro either, so maybe that's why i like the film adaptation of him so much. They made all of the characters look a lot like the comic book characters as well. the post credit scene was pretty cool to, i liked how he put on the yellow ring, maybe in the next film there will be the Sinestro corps?
well personally i thought it was a good CBM, probably not the best by far. but to me it wasn't the worst either, it was certainly not as bad as everyone says it is.
that's my opinion on GL, and i would kind of like to hear what everyone has to think about it.
thanks for reading, ill post later.
