Green Lantern (2011)

The guy with the giant head wasn't too bad.

Raynolds was a complete ******* though. That parody was right.

Yeah, he was good.

I really don't understand why people hate this movie so much. I mean, it's the entire premise that is so dumb, but I didn't think it was poorly done at all (aside from some questionable CGI). Is it the character that everyone hates? Cuz that I can totally understand.. lol

The premise is actually pretty good; it just wasn't carried over as well as it could have been. It can be a bit "meta" though.

I mean, I'm not familiar with the comics at all... so what do you mean it wasn't carried over well?

Parallax in general wasn't really handled well in my opinion. I also felt that they could have just had Hector Hammond as the bad guy, but they tried to do too much at the same time.

What was Parallax?

I mean, he was really the only villain, right? Or you mean instead of having the big cosmic fear cloud thing, too? lol

i was going to watch green lantern but people keep trashing it, just want to know if it's really worth going to watch.

it was okay,nothing great but nothing terrible either IMO.

I guess I just don't usually go along with the critics. I thought Captain America sucked, which got pretty good reviews. But I actually liked this for what it was. I think the direction has a lot to do with it. Captain America had a shitty director. While Martin Campbell is the same guy who did Casino Royale, which was a masterpiece.

Of course Fox makes movies:

Many Foxs do!

I thought Marvel kind of partnered with a larger studio or something...? Marvel isn't its own studio entity, is it?

Mm.. thumbsup

Too bad it's from a Micheal Bay craptastrophe that I will never watch again. yucky

I don't really know who they tried to cater for the Green Lantern movie.

As far as superhero movies go, kids found it boring & adults thought it was ridiculous.

X-Men First Class wasn't released by Marvel Studios. It was Marvel under their old agreement with the studios as a co-producer. It was notable in my opinion as the first such film since Spider Man 2 in 2004 to be really great.

Marvel Studios is different, since they finance the films themselves and have all the creative control. They have done all that with the six films in the Avengers series, including Avengers this May. And all the films (Iron Man 1 & 2, The Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America) have been good to awesome.

Back to Green Lantern - it was a mess and misfire, and blame shouldn't be heaped on Ryan Reynolds. Blame the filmmakers for their bad conceptions of Parallax, the Lantern powers and a disjointed narrative.

Cept Green Lantern was'nt no masterpiece compared to Casino Royale and Goldeneye.

Green Lantern sucked.
