Green Lantern is 2011 superhero movie based on the DC Comics character in the 1960's for Hal Jordan. The movie was directed by Martin Campbell who did 2 of my favorite 007 movies Casino Royale,Golden Eye and I like The Mask of Zorro. This was his first Sci-Fi or CGI movie he made which I can't really blame him for it but he did good jobs on the action scenes which some might not agree with me.
I been a Green Lantern fan since I was 7 within 10 years later I finally get a live action movie for it. I heard the news that Ryan Reynolds was cast as Hal Jordan people complaining he wasn't right for the role oh this guy should of got it, etc.I was "1" of those people thinking Ryan Reynolds would do a great job even though he's DEADPOOL.
The plot was ok I didn't mind it already knew Parollax was going to be the main villain right away, suspected Carol Ferris finding out Hal is Green Lantern in the movie. I sort of thought some parts were going to happen but I liked how Hal had to face some of his fears like thinking how he acts is going to cause him to end up dead like his father.
Wondering why Abin Sur chose him. Saying "All GREEN LANTERN'S are suppose to be fearless that's not me" soon realizes that he's chosen because he has the WILL POWER to overcome fear itself. I liked what happened during the credits like when Sinestro took the yellow ring and put it on seeing he has fallen from grace.
The CGI and characters, acting weren't that bad to be honest. The CGI was great on Tomar-Re, Killowog, Sinestro, Hal Jordan suit was pretty good like he asked Tomar how come his suit isn't tights he says "The ring is made out of the Green energy of WILLPOWER" which makes sense. Also Hal Jordan didn't have the white gloves which is a YES!!!! To me.
I HATE the fact the mask needed to CGI seriously WB. From other people review of GL they're complaining how the suit looked like what I said earlier about the suit, how Tomar-Re looked in the movie.
It's because when Tomar first appeared in DC he had a shorter beak/snout and smaller mohawk thing.
Killowag why are people complaining about him saying "Why is Killowog orange he should be pink not orange" that's because he first appeared Orange then turned pink after the Crisis on Infinite Earths I just proved my point so stop hating haters.
The CGI was EPIC on OA I liked the scenes when Hal was on Oa really good CGI
The acting was pretty good Ryan Reynolds did 1 of the best acting in the movie as Hal Jordan/Green Lantern. How he acts in the movie suits Hal Jordan to be honest and I don't care I still liked the movie.
I still think Blake Lively is TOO YOUNG, SERIOUSLY a 23 year old as Carol Ferris Reynolds is 34 for God Sakes but still did an ok job as her.
Tamuera Morrison was good as Abin Sur I wanted Arnold Vosloo as him but voiced him on Emreld Knights which is ok to me. Still Morrison suited the character really well even though he was on the movie for like 10 minutes
Mark Strong was AWESOME as Sinestro just wished he had a bigger role he was badass when he had that fight scene with Hal.Can't wait to see him fight Hal again wearing the SINESTRO Corps. uniform.
Michael Clarke Duncan was AWESOME as Killowog I originally wanted him as Killowag always thought he would the would voice and he did he was badass and funny as KILLOWOG. THANK GOD he said "POOZER" in the movie.
Geoffrey Rush was also AWESOME as Tomar-Re I first thought Tamuera Morrison was going to voice Tomar but when I heard Rush voice Tomar-Re I was like "YES".
But Peter Sassgard on the other hand as Hector Hammoud he was pretty good but wished he had better dialouge and not making him look like he had nut sack forehead again and try not to sound like Hades from Clash of the Titans on his parts of the film
Out of 5 Stars I will give Green Lantern
4/5 why simple
1st Star- Great CGI explaining why Hal's suit looks like that in the movie
2nd Star- Great acting from RR,TM,MCD,GR,MS and good fight scenes
3rd Star- Killowog said "POOZER"a few times ,Sinestro owning Hal on OA
4th Star- Forming of the yellow ring and what Sinestro did later during the credits
