Most people who have seen Green Lantern (2011) thought it was just ehhhh, if not bland and boring. I guess to them there's just one too many superhero movies. Personally, I thought it wasn't all that bad. For one, I like that they portrayed the multiplicity of the universe, and the Earth being one of the youngest ones. The depiction that we humans are mere fledglings, still learning about the world (and the universe, on a bigger scheme of things) in which we inhabit is a humble acknowledgement, and it fits my idea of the universe.
The movie's theme revolves around the power of will vs. the power of fear - something which I think is quite true. Look around us. Politicians instill fear in the people, and make them do certain things (or not do anything). That's exploitation of fear, and it's only when we're aware of it can we prevent ourselves from being manipulated. Will is also another powerful force that's been underutilized. Perhaps that's a good thing in a way… I mean, imagine if there's someone out there whose will is to destroy the world. That'd be some disaster we're going to have to endure! :P
And then of course, there's Ryan Reynolds! :D Nothing compared to the Fassbender guy in X-Men: First Class, but still an eye candy! :) That's bout it, my dua sen on the last movie I've seen. Looking forward to HP! The last one of the entire series! Wish I had the time to reread all the books again. Oh well, some other time perhaps.
