Green Lantern movie and a little rant about theaters.

Last night I got a chance to see the new Green Lantern movie. I have always been huge on DC comics, and GL was one of my favorites comics. I like the Kyle Rayner's take on the GL in the comics. Anyways I was very skeptical on seeing this movie. After seeing the first trailer I was completely underwhelmed, it was the CGI for me. I love the look of the costume because I knew spandex was going to be way out of the answer for the movie. Anyways, I saw the movie and here to give a brief review on what I like and disliked about the movie. I am not going to give anything away, but if you know your GL some of the this stuff should be a no brainer.

Spot on. 

First off I really like the execution of the comics to film. Plenty comic movies do it good and bad. This one did it pretty damn well. They really did pay a lot of attention to characters. Especially to GL Corps members. Kilowog (voiced by Micheal Clarke Duncan), almost reminiscent to his comic counterpart and it was like he jumped off the pages (also a treat when he said poozer ^.^). Same with Sinestro (played by Mark Strong), he was the best part of casting in this film. Just dead on accurate. But without giving too much away I felt like the way his home world situation was never really talked about (guess they will save it for the sequel). Tomar Re was the one I was most concerned with after seeing screen shots of him. But I have to admit he was fantastic on the big screen. The Guardians looked awesome and they made them better looking than I thought. Carol Ferris is not going to become Star Sapphire but it was nice to see that nodded at the name in the jet fighter sequence. I felt her acting was flat and not all that well portrayed in the film. Hector Hammond felt a little bland for my taste, I mean there not many serious villians on earth for GL. I thought it was a great choice either way. Parallax kind of had me grinding my teeth, not because he was not accurate.It was the way he reminded me of the way Galactus looked in the second Fantastic Four movie. But he still was terrifying (Parallax). The movie was well executed.

Maybe...

Now for a one last nick pick. The casting for Hal Jordan, which was portrayed by Ryan Reynolds (hawt!!!). He was some-what good on some characteristics and others I thought he was not taking the characters serious enough. But that is just the fan boy in me. I rather have him play someone like Guy Gardner or Kyle Rayner. But other than that I was happy to see one of DC's biggest hero make it to the big screen. Now we need a Firestorm movie.....but  probably will never happen.

Now to something that I been wanting to talk about this for awhile. Perfect chance now after dealing with this in GL.  I know plenty of people out there run into this at the theaters too. It is people who will not shut the hell up, you spend a lot of money to see a movie and of course someone will try and ruin the experience for you. The reason why I wait for things to come to DVD or Blu-ray. What drives people to start talking loud as crap and thinks the movie is going to talk back. I understand when you are at a house with friends watching a movie and discuss the scenes and laughable mishaps, but when in a theater watching movies with people who paid as much and more for drinks and food (suckers, what a purse was invented for or the fancy term satchel ^.^) you should at least shut up. Its cool if you are like the only person with a friend  in the theater but that is a rarity I only experienced once. I had my moment where I snapped a person, especially some women smacking gum like a cow eating grass. Worst of all the people who strike up random conversation with you, they talk about seeing the movie already and spoiling funny lines or critical moments. Another, is people who try to imitate funny lines or one liners. It is just why do some people who enjoy the movie experience get it ruined by people who have nothing else to do. In this day and age money on movie tickets are becoming more and more pricier. Telling a security officer does not crap around our theaters. They come in and the people that were being loud finally shut up, but as soon as they leave "Guess what?". THEY GO RIGHT BACK TO TALKING!!! I could ramble on about this but I am sure you have experienced the same. So I am going to leave you with this video (still trying to figure out how to place video in proper places). That should keep you laughing and thinking about this about people in theaters that won't shut up.
