8/31/2023 0 Comments Green lantern 2011 extended cut![]() That movie was just metal hitting other metal. But the Transformers movie, because I had no idea what was going on, completely alienated me with its use of CG. I was in the right place at the right time and I still never got into it. I never cared for Transformers when I was a kid. ![]() It kind of is the same issue that Transformers has. But when everything is just a CG mess, why would anyone want to get involved in the story. But this movie is littered with garbage that just asks the audience to not try and relate to the characters. It's because you live a life where you think toe shoes somehow improve your life. It's not just because I want you to keep reading. It's just that the mask looks.bad? Also, it looks like he's wearing toe shoes. I don't mind the suit made out of green, glowing muscles. It's the mask and the feet that really bother me more than anything else. I can't take him seriously in the suit for the entire film, which is a huge detriment considering that the movie wants us to follow the adventures of the titular character. We needed more Last Starfighter and less Avatar. I think the movie could have really tapped that idea better. The odd thing is that, as space-opera-y as the Green Lantern stories get, they work because Hal Jordan is so human. "Alien" became synonymous with computer generated imagery. We knew that this movie was going to be all CG. We were told that the images were not the final product. Then, the pictures came out and everyone wanted to throw up. I even remember that they were hesitant to release the Green Lantern suit pictures because it was supposed to look so strange and alien. The answer to that is to turn to CG to answer those problems. There was the natural instinct to make the alien worlds look beyond imagination. The landscape of Green Lantern is bizarre. (That sentence sucked, but I'm sticking by it.) That thing is a CG mess. If I have twenty things that didn't really work, I want to be able to say it's one thing. They even got Martin Campbell, the guy who did GoldenEye and Casino Royale to direct this movie. The movie ended up adapting a lot of that stuff. I don't know what the heck happened there. Okay, everything except for that last arc. Geoff Johns was writing probably the best run that Green Lantern had ever seen. Also, around the time of the Green Lantern movie, the Green Lantern comic books were crushing it. I don't respect those studio fears, but I get them. Yeah, I would have put more eggs in a Wonder Woman basket, but I also know the studio fears. If you were parroting the MCU, what a great place to begin? Green Lantern doesn't have the investment of a Superman or a Batman. They also know what an arc reactor is.) It made sense to start here. (Side note: Is it weird that lots of people know who Pepper Potts is. People knew the name "Green Lantern" and "Iron Man", but without the films to explain the plot, there was probably very little to explain the nitty gritty details. Structurally, Green Lantern kind of reads like Iron Man. Despite the fact that Man of Steel was the foundational piece of the DCeU, it really was supposed to be Green Lantern. But Green Lantern came out, Man of Steel was just starting to shoot. It's not great, and I'll be getting into that. The weird thing is that Green Lantern isn't that bad. Ryan Reynolds has not made his feelings about Green Lantern a secret. Sometime in the next few weeks, I'll be watching Deadpool. I feel like I hit an accidental theme lately of movies that everyone hates, but I kind of like. I never thought I would get to the day that I revisited Green Lantern​. Why would I watch it again? Well, those movies get buried. I love that movie so much, I buy it when it comes out. See, there are some movies that I rent or watch in the theater. That's for the self-cred, you see? But my goal is to watch everything that I own. If I'm being dangerous, I'll throw in a LaserDisc. It's not that I get THAT many movies for my birthday or Christmas.) I whittle away from my main pile, and then start cycling through categories. (I tend to get distracted from this pile. That's usually for the six months following my birthday. Sometimes, I have a big stack on my coffee table of movies that I own, but haven't seen. I love telling my few readers about my process for how I do these reviews. It's more naked than normal clothing, but not really? Regardless, PG-13. Also, while I suppose that this shouldn't be put into this context, his outfit is a mental projection, making it exactly the same size as him. You also see him in some alien space underwear. But it's also PG-13 because Hal Jordan sleeps around. While watching it, I realized that there would have been some pretty messed up stuff that could be seen as pretty scary. This is pre- Man of Steel, so the definition of dark should be put into context. I guess if the bad guy is fear, the point is to make him a little bit scary.
