Hokay so, the pictures are delayed another day because I went and saw the Green Lantern Movie. To start things off, Ryan Reynolds plays the exact same character in every movie. Conveniently it is one that I love. He is such a douche bag all the time, it is just hilarious to me. So Green Lantern in a nutshell = Space Police defend the galaxy with shiny green rings that harness the power of Will. Their mortal enemy is the Yellow guy who lives on fear. Ryan Reynolds becomes first human "Lantern" with much humbug from other Lanterns. Yellow guy attacks Earth after pawning Lantern Commando Squad. Ryan Reynolds and his girl friend shoot a missile or two at Yellow guy, fly into space and push fear guy into the sun. End.
Beyond the improbability of Intergalactic Space Police with shiny Will-power rings, the movie has some questionable moments. I am not being crazy or anything, what I mean is that there are parts of the film that just don't make sense. My High school film teacher always told me that when watching a film one has to suspend our disbelief. So we accept space police, Will vs Fear battle and rings of power. But then things get a tad ridiculous. So in a key moment in the film the Yellow Fear guy attacks Ryan and Blake (love interest) in some airplane hanger. Ryan is with out his ring and therefore powerless. As the yellow guy begins to such Ryan's soul out dementor style. Blake makes a clutch play and jumps on the computer and has the Fighter plane / Robot Drone launch two sidewinder rockets into the yellow guy. He screams in pain and recoils from the hanger. Logical? Well, this Yellow guy is the physical representation of fear. It has devoured the souls of billions of lifeforms, consumed whole planets and assimilated all of it into itself, growing ever stronger. The Elite group of Green Lanterns could not even phase it with their strongest ring pew pew pews. THAT'S COOL WE WILL JUST SHOOT A MISSILE AT IT. Later Ryan throws a gas tanker at it and blows it up in the things face. Again causing it noticeable pain and anguish. Like what the hell. You have a crazy cool idea about using ones strong will as a weapon and then resort to throwing a truck full of gas at it. How could a small explosion hurt a giant ethereal cloud of fear and dead souls, that is capable of intergalactic travel and originates from one of the most ancient and immortal beings in the entire galaxy? Hal, the cocky fighter pilot...that's how.
