Green Lantern…. yawn

Sunday, June 19th, 2011

So I was all excited to see this movie. because really, it’s Green Lantern, he can imagine anything he wants and instantly make it. How can they screw it up?

Well they screwed it up. This turd of a movie was so boring that by the end there was a guy sitting behind me snoring through the action scenes. It was THAT boring. I think the move spent 80 minutes building up towards maybe 20 minutes of action.

Normally I am all for character development and building up a story. I loved how the first hour of The Matrix was character development and build up. But even though it was slow it was still INTERESTING. The whole first 80 minutes of Green Lantern was basically Hal Jordan getting over his stupid failings in life so he could spend the last 20 minutes fighting a monster. in addition to Hal Jordan hating himself the writers also attempted to create complex character interactions and back stories and failed miserably creating a boring and stupid story. gah..

And as if that wasn’t bad enough, the action scene at the end was VERY predictable. As soon as it started I turned to my left and said “Crystal, He is gonna….” Left that out JUST in case you want to see the movie after reading this.

So anyways here is my one sentence review of the movie. While the special effects were cool, the movie was AMAZINGLY boring with a really stupid story line.

This is one time where I agree with the super low Rotten Tomatoes rating.

Gah! The Fantastic Four movies were horrible hot messes but at least they were not BORING! ugh…
