Green Lantern

I also got to see Green Lantern. Two movies in two states. For free. Boo-yah.

Anyway, I know this movie didn't get the best reviews. What comic book movie does? People need to remember, this is a comic book movie. It is a DC, like Batman and Superman, but lesser well known. It has all the great elements of a Comic book movie, like his dad died, he's reluctant (even quiting at one point), he has a girlfriend that knows his secret identity only later to become endanger so that he has to rescue her. Ok, slightly predictable, but again COMIC BOOK MOVIE.

The movie is funny, but do we expect any less from Ryan Renolds? And Michael Duncan Clarke voices an alien. You gotta love him. It also had some random chick who was a good actress (unlike Natalie Portman. See Thor.). And we finally got to see what came of Andy Dufrane after he escaped from prison, and bore a son who turned into an evil scientist.

The CGI, well, it looked awful on the Green Lantern costume itself, but everything else was great. So if you're nerdy like me, enjoy this movie. If you're not nerdy and/or have no taste, I think Hangover 2 is still in theaters. Please excuse me while I try to remove this shiver from my spine.
