N°1 Ryan
Reynolds
Ryan
Reynolds portrayed Hal Jordan and Green Lantern beautifully. I think that
replacing him with another actor for the role of Green lantern would be a
terrible mistake because he, in my opinion, did a really good job in bringing
the character to life. We can all agree that among all the mistakes that the
screenwriter and the director made, hiring Ryan Reynolds t play Hal wasn’t one
of them.
N°2 Sense
of Humor
The movie
deviated from the DC movie style. Adding humor to a superhero movie looked to
be the secret ingredient of Marvel success so it came as no surprise that DC
decided to head toward that same direction but nevertheless the movie
maintained in some parts a darker tone similar to the Dark Knight movies and
the Man of Steel movie and that is a perfect balance in my opinion for the
character of Hal Jordan. A future justice league team will need a funny guy
similar to Tony Stark in the Avengers and I see no better DC character to play
that role than Hal Jordan.
N°3 The world they created can co-exist with the world
created by Zack Snyder
Unlike the
Dark Knight trilogy that told the story of Batman in a magic free world, he Green Lantern movie can perfectly
coexist in the same universe of the Man of steel since both movies have
introduced aliens.
N°4 Mark
Strong as Sinestro
Mark strong
is an amazing actor. His performance as Sinestro was good and many thought that
it was the best part of the movie. Some speculators even suggested to reboot
the whole franchise but to keep Mark Strong as Sinestro. I can see why the
screenwriters decide to make him the villain in the sequel and not in the first
film, he is presented as the leader of the Green Lantern core until he decides
to exploit the power of the yellow ring in the post credit scene of the movie.
N° 5 Score
DC has
always had in their superhero movies great scores and Green Lantern is no
exception. James Newton Howard gave us an awesome soundtrack that made the
movie better. If by any chance you do not remember what I am talking about
check out the link below:
Overall the
movie wasn’t as epic as some other DC or Marvel movies but it wasn’t that bad
either. If we compare it to the awful movie that was Thor: The Dark World where
there was a joke ever other minute then Green Lantern doesn’t look that bad.
WB/DC here have a great chance to show everyone that despite the Box Office
flop they are prepared to give it a second chance maybe by having Sinestro show
up in the Batman vs Superman post credit scene and therefore tie in the GL
movie in their cinematic universe and bringing Ryan Reynolds back for the JLA
movie. In fact, we look closely at the cinematic universe that DC is trying to
establish then we’ll see that they haven’t introduced any member of the JLA yet
apart from Superman and by bringing back Reynolds as Green Lantern they would
give the average movie goers a sense of continuity that they haven’t been able
to provide so far.
