WHY I DON'T LIKE GREEN LANTERN


The problem I have with Green Lantern is the ring. When he puts the ring on he becomes a demigod, when he takes it off he's a nobody. Take away his ring, you take away the Green Lantern.

He's still a badass pilot.

True.

I REALLY REALLY HOPE THE RING IS NOT YOUR ONLY PROBLEM WITH THIS "MOVIE".

I'll freely admit I wasn't impressed by the special effects. They looked "unpleasant", if you get my drift.

No it's pretty garish, I agree. The director Martin Campbell has actually done some stellar movies prior to Green Lantern (GoldenEye; Mask of Zorro; Casino Royale). But he admitted he wasn't used to CGI effects heavy blockbusters like that. Keep in mind this movie cost $200 million. But evidently, a movie that expensive can still look like shit if the director and crew don't know what they're doing.

Also consider that the script is garbage and needed a lot of work

reply

Well they had a bunch of writers just chucking everything into the script and it shows. Amusingly a lot of them went on to do the Arrowverse shows.

That was the point. But more to the point, Green Lantern has one thing in common with Thor. They both must be worthy to wield their respective weapons.
