The day is bright, the night is vast, the green light is always bright, and the light is eternal

In fact, it's not that bad. I kept my expectations to a minimum because of various statements, but I thought it was okay. Three stars is too low and four stars are really hard to convince myself that 6.5 or 7 is a fair score. I can't blame the director for focusing on special effects. A film like Green Lantern really needs a lot of special effects to support it. A few obvious problems to mention: 1. I can't see the growth process of the character, and Hal has changed after a few words or a cutscene, which is unconvincing. 2. The problem of casting. RR is a good actor, which can also be seen in his future development, but his temperament is very inconsistent with Hal, and he can't be blamed entirely, this is his style. 3. The main thing is that the script is not good, it is too weak. At the beginning, I gave Hal a childhood tragedy (basically, it was based on the original book, I really didn't really read the green light), it was actually good, but it was not enough when Hal started the test flight. What's more, his dual identities are basically useless. Since he got the ring, his real life and career have been forgotten by the screenwriter. The family members who have appeared once have become soy saucers, and he has never tried to be a pilot again. Warners originally wanted to start with this movie universe, Waller's appearance gave me that feeling, but it doesn't look like it after that. It can be seen that the later superhero films have elements similar to this one, including "Doctor Strange", "Thunder Shazam" and "Silver Guardian 2". Not to say that this had any influence on later films, but to mention it objectively. Blake Lively looks pretty good here.

The day is bright, the night is vast, and there is nothing to hide. The villains are traitors, afraid of my divine light, the green light is ever-bright, the light of all ages!

Green Lantern quotes

  • Sinestro: You reek of fear, Hal Jordan. Abin Sur was a great warrior. My mentor. My friend. You insult his memory by wearing his ring.

  • Hal Jordan: I'm done. He's right, I'm only human. We're not ready to defend the universe. Up until a few days ago, we thought we were the only ones IN the universe.

    Tomar-Re: The ring chose you. It wouldn't have done so if it hadn't seen something in you.

    Hal Jordan: Oh, yeah?

    Tomar-Re: Something you yourself don't yet see. The ring never makes a mistake.

    Hal Jordan: This time it did.
