First of all, let’s talk about the male protagonist. As the protagonist of a superhero movie, he can be said to have no personal charm. Green Lantern’s ability comes from belief, but I don’t know if the director of this movie is lacking in his mind and will. This kind of illusory thing is not expressed through the male protagonist's inner world at all. There is no convincing reason for the male protagonist to go from fear to conquering fear. The second is the character of the male protagonist. The leader of the Green Lantern Corps criticized his character as self-willed, stubborn, and arrogant, but he can overcome fear. It is a very magical logic. The narration that appeared at the end of the film review gave the reason, Because he is human. How does this involve human nature again? I don't know what it means.
The second is the issue of the supporting roles in the film, including the heroine. The heroine has absolutely no role in this film. She appeared in the male protagonist when he was a child, and when he grew up, they got together. Is it a matter of subtitles? I don't understand at all what she meant when she encouraged the male lead. Anyway, when she encouraged her casually, the male lead cheered up. Secondly, the Green Lantern Corps, the director chose a few main characters or a few supporting characters who are very important in the comics to train the male protagonist, but to be honest, why do these people have no brains to train the male protagonist? There is a scene we can see The leader of the green light took a few men to challenge the parallax monster, but the group was destroyed. The leader came back in despair and asked the guardians to build a yellow light ring. Do you need more people to brush? Completely mindless, you may say why I decided that the parallax monster is a monster that can be defeated by the number of people. Isn't he able to recover blood by sucking the essence of people? It's very simple. When the parallax monster reached the earth, the heroine used to take a plane. The missile blew him up, and it turned out that it could cause damage to him. Then the missile group would solve the problem directly. In this film, the human government did nothing, and then I don't understand those aliens who think that human beings are just This kind of primordial species, but human technology has caused damage to this kind of parallax monster that you aliens can't handle. Why do you have such a sense of superiority? After all, the Green Lantern Corps was completely sent when they faced the parallax monster. In the end I found out that the Green Lantern Corps is a bunch of humanoid self-propelled light bulbs, because they like to shoot energy into the sky, even if it's useless.
Then there are the villains. There are two main villains in this film, one is a doctor who has a crush on the heroine, and the other is a parallax monster from an alien planet. I have to use other people's complaints here. Except that the doctor looked ugly after being controlled by fear and acted stupidly, there is no place like a villain. As a doctor and teacher, he did a good job. Of course, he used The superpower beat up the student, but that was because he could hear the voices of others, it was okay to be scolded by others, and it was no wonder that he would break out when scolded by his own students. From another point of view, this story is the story of a conscientious people's teacher who unfortunately contracted a virus and committed evil, and was hanged and beaten by a young man who was an idiot but with a good character. I burst out laughing when I saw this. It is true that the character of this story is very problematic. Why is it that a conscientious and unpretentious person is trampled by a lucky idiot? The thinking of the American emperor is also incomprehensible. How can values that are not advocating hard work be sought after. Another villain, the Parallax, I'm going to complain about the American government. This villain is a microcosm of them. The Parallax was originally the guardian of the universe, but he wanted to develop power other than the power of will, and finally fell under the control of fear. , which is also the most common routine in American movies about the source of disasters in movies, complaining that their own government likes to master things beyond its own capabilities, and it ends up hurting others and itself. I want to applaud you here.
Finally, there is the issue of the length of the movie. The first 15 minutes of this movie are spent in meaningless places. The first is the resurrection of the parallax monster. The story of the plane crash. What is the routine for the villains of common American superhero movies? Be mysterious, be domineering, so they don't talk much when they appear, but they have the momentum of the superior, the lights are very dark, it can save electricity bills, and you can't see what the villain is, it makes you afraid and can increase the sense of mystery . But I'm curious if this director is making a movie for the first time. It's three long and stinky things, and the biggest flaw is the one when the male protagonist was young. He talked for about 10 minutes, and then the male protagonist became When I was flying a one-on-two, the male protagonist recalled the scene of killing his father when he was a child. The important points are all there. What was the first 10 minutes for? You can finish it simply, brother, why not To put it for such a long time? When the audience is mentally handicapped? Later, I looked at the director, Damn Martin Campbell, the one who shot 007 Golden Eye, how come there are so many different levels before and after, it may be the first time to make a superhero movie, but can you take a look at others before shooting How is it? Can you not just follow your own way? The film also spent 10 minutes introducing the Green Lantern Corps, and it was useless. The most unbearable thing is that even the image of the Green Lantern who gave the ring to the male protagonist has not deepened. His existence is completely to give the male protagonist equipment, not like Spiderman's uncle peter great power comes, greatresponsibility, nor like Iron Man's scientist who was kidnapped prevented Iron Man from going the way of War Machine. What does it mean? It means that this person, as the inheritor of the protagonist's ability or spirit, did not play a role in conveying the core spirit of the film, then this Characters fail in superhero movies. The male protagonist can directly pick up equipment in the wild and then fight monsters. This person has no substantial impact on the plot. And a large part of this film is boring because the plot is not compact, and many places are procrastinated and meaningless.
In the end, there is the problem of setting. In fact, Green Lantern's ability is very interesting, and it is very suitable for special effects for American commercial films, but it is a pity that the director did not spend this setting on the edge, but made this ability fancy and fancy. It is not practical, because the male protagonist finally won the parallax monster not by the power of the green light, but by Newton's assists. This is also a common routine. The method of the male protagonist to defeat the villain is often hidden in the process of the protagonist's ability to cultivate his own abilities. See Kung Fu Panda. But Green Lantern is also a failure in this place. The director wants to play this routine, but it is obviously not working. The hint to defeat the villain appears in the process of the male protagonist and other Green Lanterns fighting, but this does not cause the male protagonist to think deeply, or To say that it did not attract the attention of the audience is the disadvantage of not describing the mood changes. The plot is clueless, the characters are not deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the behavior of the characters is even more inexplicable.
This film has the ambition to create a parallel universe like Marvel, but it is obvious that this ambition is not huge enough. In the end, the film that could have been the beginning of the DC universe was scrapped. Everyone can see how Ryan Reynolds is doing this year. Shi has gained a large number of fans, and it seems that Green Lantern will only become black history.
