Green Lantern

Green Lantern

In the new film, Green Lantern, yellow is the color of fear. Green is the color becomes.

So, what color of boredom?

Well, green and yellow is a good start.

This is the third film in the summer comic, but hardly the last. I know that the need to view the current list of options, so readers know where something in the ranks. Because in reality - most of these films can not really fault any scale, except that: Well, it was better than the last?

But no need to do that, because Green Lantern is the least interesting and the actor responded to date. Thor and with much less - and must not even speak the same sentence as the X-Men: First Class.

Green Lantern is suffering from a terminal case of the original OSI, the disease infects the superhero movies need to explain the origin of a character. These films tend to putter around the majority of films just waiting to see the main character is called the hero in themselves. Yes, certainly, it was chosen for one reason or another - but do not really believe it until it was almost too late. Almost.

At this point, but it is too late for the general public. In the case of Green Lantern, you get an hour and 45 minutes of foreplay, then 15 minutes of action. Of course, there are times that threatens the pleasure at first - but the film by Martin Campbell (from a screenplay by four authors in Dawson Creek by Greg Berlanti) never threaten to pop his cork for good.
