No Evil Shall Escape My Sight,
Let Those Who Worship Evil's Might,
Beware My Power, Green Lantern's Light!
It ain't easy being green... Green Lantern... was decent. I went to see with my ex-officemates they other day.. just to reward myself after my first ever final year project presentation...
I didn't read the comic book series before.. so I'm sure by the end of the review a lot 'Lanterns' gonna be somewhat piss.. hahahaha
Well first of all.. I love the concept of Green Lantern.. with willpower, you can turn your imagination into reality and use your will power to protect the universe... pretty decent concept for a superhero.. the core of the concept just blew me away.. because usually superheroes then to have super powers that were caused by something else for example spiderman who got bitten by a spider... Event though Batman doesn't have super power, He has all his gadgets and weapon to fight evil... but not Green Lantern.. all you got is a ring that conveys your imagination into something physical and workable based on your willpower... if your willpower is not strong enough, your imagination will not be strong as well... pretty deep stuff huh...
When we talked about imagination.. we tend to say that the weirder the imagination is, the better.. and that's where the story lacks... The Protagonist only imagine all the things that are already common.. like sword to fight.. armour to deflect bullets... a race car and a track to block a hellicopter from crashing into a crowd of people *laughs* I wish he could imagine something out of the norm.. something that we the audience have never seen before.. but I guess he's only human.. *giggles*
In terms of story telling... I think there's too much to show in so little time until you forgot about some part of the plot.. that's my opinion... The film didn't show a lot of scene of the Green lanterns' planet... which was kinda sad considering I love how they create the planet... but the dialogue was nice.. it has some charming moments.. For VFX... top notch dude... you won't regret watching all those effects..
As for casting... well what can I say.. I am a huge fan of Ryan Reynolds.. and Blake Lively *gasp for air* was a bombshell in the movie...
If you're a big superheroes fan.. then you're gonna love watching this one... especially the kids... But right now, Thor is the superhero movie for me...
well there you have it.. pretty pissed aren't you.. haha..
