The green light investment was close to 200 million, and an announcement of more than 100 million was added. This sale directly caused the Justice League plan to be postponed again. Although the stories of the super comic heroes are actually the same, the green light is indeed self-defeating. What age is it, and the script can still be written in such a shabby way. This has nothing to do with how influential the comics are and whether the screenwriters dare to let go of their hands and feet, although it may be that DC is not as experienced in controlling as magical. But the general rhythm of the finished product, I think anyone with a discerning eye can see it before the shooting starts. Compared with similar works, its "emptiness" and "boring" have refreshed the lower limit.
It's not clear how detailed the original setting is, but the big background of the Green Lantern Corps has an obvious feature—that is, it has nothing to do with the earth. So no matter what you do with the great pressure from the evil in the background, it is often half the result with half the effort in the human audience.
Of course, this is not the biggest trouble. After all, fantasy themes, as long as you can make this kind of pressure reverse one after another, it's OK. The villain in "Reunion" is very simple. I found a spokesperson. Although I got a little bit in the second stage, but it is popular... By the way, "Thor" is also an alien story, so the editor is willing to spend nearly one-third of the time. Tell me what is going on in this family.
The fact that there were three or four Green Lanterns as cannon fodder in the opening scene is a spectacle (well, it's not surprising), and the audience doesn't think the story has begun.
Then began to talk about the green light when Hal Jordan was a child, about three or four scenes, mainly for the halo of his father and the shadow of his father's death in front of him.
Then cut back to the planetary environment, Abinsu was attacked and fled to the earth. As before, everyone doesn't know this person, and it has nothing to do with us whether you die or not. I care about what you lost. Including Guan Gong chatting with the boss later, "This is not easy to handle", the same is true.
In fact, the way to break it is also easy. It is to arrange a secondary line to talk about how the yellow energy erodes the earth little by little. Some obvious things have appeared in other places, but other people did not realize the seriousness of strange things. Vulgar, or vulgar. Disaster movies do this, and Transformers do the same. But you can at least put the unsuspecting "something going to happen!" question to the realm of "what's going to happen?"
When I look back at how Hal grew up, he was still a pilot, with unruly personality and unruly behavior. He woke up from a girl's arms at the beginning, found that he was late, and hurried away in flames. The big field of flying exercises further strengthened his personality. Just make an appearance, it's this kind of big battle. When I saw this place back then, an unclear premonition arose in my heart, "Such money can be ruined, it's not a good attitude."
In fact, there is nothing new in single-scenario investment upgrades, but there is nothing new in these designs. Compare what Kirk of the 09 version of Star Trek did? Did he stole (unsure) the car when he was a teenager and ran wild on the road until he drove to the edge of a cliff. His unremovable depression and even self-destructive tendency came out, in order to become a man of great quality in the future? People hit the ground. Of course, there are also scenes of waking up with girls (with long tails). Young Americans have the basis of life. Don't discriminate against others.
Because the flight exercise was too arrogant, it resulted in a result that no one wanted to see. Anyway, everyone was unhappy with him. The ambiguous girlfriend was unhappy, and went to the beach in a depressed mood. Can be regarded as finishing the appearance. In the rhythm where everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they took the ring and studied it under cover. From here, there are two lines. On the one hand, Hal accepts the new world view and begins short-term training in the Green Lantern Corps. On the other hand, human scientists study the body of Abinsu, which causes the yellow substance infestation. This is all normal writing, it's not a big mistake. It's still an old question. The audience knows so much more than the characters. They can't wait for your speed.
On the planet of the Green Light Concentration Camp, I don’t know how much money was spent on those bizarre scenes, but they did not give people a particularly good feeling. The alien planets are always that kind of rock structure, and this is nothing more than a difference in light effects. My guess is that the comic design at the time was more about emphasizing a special aesthetic feature, and this directly led to the fact that the movie had a lot of special effects, but the audience did not feel too shocked. Translucent, always giving people a cheap effect... this is no way. As one of the movies with the most special effects of the year, Hal's green light blindfold has never been physical. I think how troublesome it is, but does anyone care about you? There is no texture when it is close-up.
Green light energy requires willpower and the courage to fight fear, which Hal has been owed. Then Hal himself was somehow pulled into this group of alien creatures, and he had to slowly understand everything that the family members did not see. He was not the kind of kid who wanted to be a superman with a cloak since he was a child, even if he was, he needs to adapt in a short time. Therefore, whether it is the suppression of technology or the despise of personality, it is a more natural development. Finally, the two layers of pressure that have been laid since childhood have made the first simple meeting here.
And now it's 57 minutes... it's almost halfway through.
Is there such a thing?
I won’t say anything later. Traditional masked heroes always have a few things that must be played. They don’t work when their abilities fail. They have to show up in a crisis. They don’t recognize them when they wear the masks, superheroes and ordinary people. The choice between identities, and save the cat... No, save his girlfriend. Of course, because there is too little time, these are all done with a very shrinking effect. But note that the money for the scene is smashed, and the show has to be shown, leaving less time for storytelling. Then the drama tension that should be in these parts is greatly reduced, and it seems that it is better not to talk about it. The energy of the green light comes from the outside, and he is too lazy to talk about things like this, so he has to save it for the next episode... The
result is boredom.
Extremely boring. He didn't even expect him to have a fight or a serve.
What is the external crisis? It is that the infected scientist becomes a big monster. Apart from touching others to read his memory, he has a tendency to be unable to take care of himself... and not to talk about the outermost layer, this big villain actually has no clear demands of his own. Even if you shy face and say, "My big forehead is the future trend of human aesthetics." For this role, the movie took nearly 20 minutes to make a transition, and even the details of ordinary people’s efforts to save him were taken into account, but in the end his fate was abandoned by the ring (playing without even reading the manual) ), and then directly squeezed dry by the boss. If the original work is very complicated, the simplification here is a bit pointless.
The internal crisis and the theme are intertwined, that is, overcoming fear, whether it is green energy, or the ring, the source is willpower. This should be the most important point of the green light works. Hal was the first person who dared to say to the leader "I just didn't have the courage". According to Ah Q's theory, this is also quite courageous... But because of the serious lack of details in character creation, the restraint of his father cannot overwhelm the idea. The reason for rising is also vague, causing the character's arc to be entirely the moon on the day of the total lunar eclipse. At the end of the bridge section, there is no problem with the creative connection between the appearance and the flying of the plane. Anyway, it became a slogan.
Recall that the US team said to Tony Stark, "You are the one who won't sacrifice for others", and the fear that came up in Iron Man's heart when he flew into another dimension with a bomb alone.
Borrowing money is also better than icing on the cake, let alone sacrifice.
Anyway, Martin Campbell has been so scourge that no good works can be seen...
