May i suggest you see it in more expensive 3D and pay for 6 friends to go? That would be my helpful suggestion.

Green Lantern looks terrible, and I\’m sure your review is correct about that, but that rant made no sense whatsover.

In The Dark Knight, he didn\’t even try to stop one instance of child abuse! The \”modern day superhero\” is totally invalid!

They shat harder on Thor all year and then gave it a more than positive review.

Oh, it does? Okay, then. Why you mad?

Also, Batman isn\’t a \”space cop\” traveling the cosmos fighting \”evil.\” The comparison is invalid. The problem is that these films flatter a less complex notion of \”evil\” or \”villainy\” that only compliments the morons in the audience with no real life experience. That after so many superhero pictures, this is the most egregious in this area is a pretty cynical attempt to insult the audience (many of which may deserve it, but still).

This movie makes you ask these questions and doesn\’t answer them whatsoever, and is about nothing else aside from one good looking jerk learning to not be a good looking jerk thanks to superpowers. Nothing else.

That qualifies as \”boring,\” I believe.

@Tom. Most of us thought Thor looked silly and then were somewhat pleasantly surprised (I kind of hated it to be honest, silly and forgettable as shit). What we do, what most blogs do is give our opinion of what something looks like in advance and then give a fair and balanced review when the time comes. So yeah, things will either: end up being exactly what they look like (great, shit, whatever the case may be) and or will surprise.

This applies for most film blogs. Or at least the ones that aren\’t afraid to say what they honestly think up front. Someone like Jeff Wells does this all the time.

Who gives a shit? Twilight was also true to its source material. CONGRATULATIONS CATHERINE HARDWICKE.

I\’m all for being cynical dude, but come on…you\’re basically saying we can\’t enjoy fantasy movies that don\’t address real-world evils/issues? I get hating the movie, but the notion that a movie with a \”space cop traveling the cosmos\” has to battle world hunger issues is pretty inane.

The Batman comparison is valid, if not more-so, because his world is much more realistic, and as you point out, there are much bigger fish to fry than local criminals and personal acquaintances.

With Bruce Wayne\’s extreme weath, would you rather Batman Begins show him donating money to Darfur or using that money to spearhead cancer research instead of running around training with ninjas?

The film has enough dead spots and airy moments that you find yourself asking, Seriously… he \”fights evil\” but HOW does he do that? What IS evil? The movie answers that question as \”floating ball of yellow.\”

Duh

Surely top place has got to be XMen: First Class. 2nd place and deserved is Thor and 3rd at the bottom is Green Lantern which to be frank was expected from the get-go.

Only one left for the summer is Captain America. Where do we think that will go?

Place your bets folks!
