Ever been to a movie and feel like walking out and trashing the director yet couldn't cause you spent a buckload for the ticket just because of the 3D moniker ?? Green Loontern would perfectly fit the bill in this case . Honestly after watching tons of Vijaykanth and Vijay movies sink at the box office i thought no one else would release movies with zero imagination , plot or acting skills. But fear not , now Hollywood joins the legion of stupid film makers . An occasional spiderman or Harry Potter can be tolerated . Green Loontern takes the loyalty of comic book fan base to the extreme and shreds apart the story. Kiilowog , Sinestro all could have played a fantastic role .Killowog was the epitome of monstrosity and coolness. Sinestro, with his ability and character could have been given a better role where he becomes the villain at least helping create a base for a sequel . Do they use it to their advantage ? No . Heck , its easier for then to have a single hero , an arrogant machoistic guy , give him powers he doesnt know how to use , give an inspirational speech and saves the day at the end with the girlfriend in one hand and the villain at his feet. Surely an evil power capable of devouring planets in minutes could survive the heat of a sun AND defeat a single green lantern . Instead he bowls over like a twig in a Hurricane . The heroine is safe and sound and Oa is totally undamaged . Give me a break . Not even cheesy one liners can save the movie.
I am superhero sci-fi movie freak . I love superhero movies and after a taste of Nolan's dark knight movies every other superhero seems comical on-screen like a joker .Granted not all movies have a story as complex as batman's and not all directors capable of twisting the mind like Nolan , but still they could have just made something different .
At then end what might have been a fun , cool movie just fizzles out . Not even the Green Lantern Corps could have saved this movie from certain doom . Next time you wanna kill a supervillain forget Low Orbit Ion cannons or laser rifles . A Blu-Ray of this movie will do that ten times over.
in times when comic book movies are becoming superior with those like sin city, dark knight and iron man. this movie just brings everything down
