The Green Lantern is a bad movie. The thing is it was sort of watchable too. But the biggest gripe I had with the whole movie was there was little to no development. Everything was poorly developed, the characters, the plot (not as in, it didn't have a plot, but it was soo poorly carried through), and the setting. I literally felt like every relationship and event that happen had to be told to me, by literally saying it or by crappy misplaced dialogue, instead of actually showing it to me. And on top of that the exposition and explaining went from "that just wasn't needed" to "what the hell does that have to do with anything??... oh I guess I see it..." Sometimes I came away feeling like that and I know most of the Green lantern story and what I'm suppose to be seeing, So people who know nothing must have just been lost.
I dunno how to do the spoiler thingy so I'm just throwing up here, SPOILERS! SPOILERS!!!! LOOK AWAY AT THE REST OF THE POST IF YOU DON'T WANT SPOILERS!!!!Okay, so the Sinestro plot line. DC was definitely trying really hard to be like marvel with their movies and big reveals at the end after the credits, but the evil Sinestro reveal was empty. There was literally no reasonable build up to why he would turn into a yellow lantern. I think they were trying to play off the fact he said fear 30 times while training Hal, but it wasn't even put in the right light as he was actually saying Green lanterns can't have fear and you're (Hal) afraid. The thing is Sinestro was right, Hal did have to get rid of his fear. But wait Dark Choclate, what about the scene in which Sinestro suggests to the guardians making a yellow ring? Oh you mean the scene that made no sense?? Why would, the guardians, the creators of the universe basically, ever think that fighting the embodiment of fear, a being who is literally suppose represent and be fear itself, would ever think that allowing themselves to succumb to the power of fear and fight fear with fear would work? That basically defeats the purpose of fighting paralax if you're basically joining up with him. I dont remember if this happened in the comics but I get the idea. Oh paralax is so evil and powerful we are basically left with no choice. Except the movie never actually reached that point of desperation. They have a whole fucking lantern core, and you're trying to tell me the creators of the universe can't beat it? let it alone try to with more than 6 people?? And then you're gonna tell me ONLY two individual people in their respective occasions can beat it? The taste of it all and the lack of framing just comes off as sour in your mouth and back to Sinestro, I never felt like he was evil or desperate in the movie. If you wanna prove he's a bad guy then show us why and how. And at this point I just don't care cause its just feels like they'd give us more shitty exposition to figure it out.
