green lanturd

I ain't spending money on this thing... saw the bootleg. Mediocre episode of superman tas at best I'd say... definitely needed a few more drafts. Kids may eat it up, cuz they're simple minded, but if you possess even a gloop of intelligence don't go expecting to be intellectually challenged. It's not that movie. They might as well have made the jack black movie judging how this turned out... Its biggest crime is that it should have been so easy to get this right, but the movie seems to go out of its way to miss the target. First of all, the world is not set up well, nor is hal jordan's character. Its hard to figure out why hal's such a scaredy cat yet is an accomplished pilot. We spend forever on his drama with his girlfriend who sucks and doesn't matter at all. The only parts that work are the green lantern parts. If somehow the filmmakers made it a story about a guy who is a hero without the ring, therefore earns the right to have it, yeah... that'd be good, but it's left really vague as to why the ring chose hal of all people except for the fact that he looks like a muscled up superhero from the start so it's hard to buy all that "oh my life is so hard" crap throughout the movie. good grief...

really it's like the story of a jock high school player with plenty of girlfriends and it focuses on his fear of cockroaches or something... fuck you harry knowels, grow some standards.
