That's pretty much impossible.
It shouldn't have been made, not like that. Did they read that script before filming it? I have to really wonder. It's atrocious.
It's not perfect or great, but atrocious I feel is an overstatement.
Hal's flashback featuring his father reminded me of the flashback sequences in Airplane!. In fact Hal's character is almost identical to Airplane!'s main character.
I don't see it, but if you say so.
There is no chemistry between Blake and Ryan onscreen, it's like watching two people who just had an awkward one night stand.
Things were supposed to be awkward between them at first.
And there was plenty of chemistry, they are a real couple after all.
There is literally no emotional center to the movie either.
Hal's doubt, his unwillingness to be open about having such doubts, his getting over that and being open about the doubts and fears, then finally overcoming them.
For the reasons they said. The bravery thing, the overcoming fear thing.
Because he's a d***? They did a good job establishing he's a d*** who leans on his friends,
When does he lean on his friends? And what does he do that's dicklike? Destroys the planes? While doing the job he was told to do?
and his grand catharsis is where? It never happens. He just snaps in and out of emotional states with no transition whatsoever.
Yeah... There's nothing in the movie pushing Hal to overcome the doubts about himself... Besides the gigantic monster eating his planet and not having any help in the matter. Hal's been skating by his entire life, but with Hector and Parallax he was the only that could do anything, he had to step up. They said Hal had the power to overcome fear, this movie was about him doing just that. To protect Carol, his family, his friends, everyone.
All the relationships felt like that. I never once gave a sh**. An ocean liner could've fallen from the sky and killed every character with zero emotional impact.
Fair enough. But I think if that happened the only emotion present would be confusion anyway.
Fun??? Unless I can picture myself having "fun" with those characters I cannot have "fun" watching them.
OK then.
If I had to spend two minutes with any of those one dimensional caricatures in real life, I'd be forced to hang myself.
Kind of... Over-dramatic.
While you can argue the quality of the details you said were missing, they were definitely there. Different strokes for different folks, so whatever. I enjoy chatting about things I love on here, unfortunately when it comes to Green Lantern it's always defending it. I love it, I'll always love it. My close circle of friends all enjoyed it too, so I have no reason to complain.
