green lantern movieby sdroa jists 01/07/2012, 2:50am PST
it's pretty good actually. it's no dark knight of course, I wouldn't even say it was iron man, but it's close to iron man
I never read any of the green lantern comics (I hear they are fucking shit) but one thing I had heard of was that apparently his main weakness is the color yellow. no, not the yellow power of fear (haha? get it?)
but just any yellow object could be used to defeat the green lantern in the comics, so he would get beaten by a villain of the week wielding a yellow oar or some stupid shit, or oh no this common criminal has a yellow fire hydrant....... instead of a red one like they always are. but wait it gets dumber, isn't the color green a combination of the primary colors blue and yellow? fuck the comics, comic books are for morons
anyway the movie wisely strays from the source material, and it also does a bunch of other things right while also giving hal jordan some personality (again unlike the comics), giving us some really incredible visuals, setting up likeable and believable side characters, and also giving us a big scary world eating monster. too bad this movie bombed because it deserves a sequel a shitillion times more than the fucking terrible fantastic 4 movies
