Green Lantern (Movie Review by Anders Wotzke)

[ignominni]

I usually gauge reviews by whether or not the review was SO GOOD it made me want to rewatch the movie, even if it was a shitty movie, and yours did make me want to rewatch Green Lantern....with cupcakes and booze. :-) Awesome review.

[Tirel]

I actually loved the movie, the effects more than plot mayhaps, but this review still made me subscribe.

[Atheneastro]

1:54 Ha, ha, ha! Captain Ribena!

[fvillag1]

Hey idiot Mr. Rush who played Tomar Re wanted to give whoever is not familiar with the Green Lantern story sort of an introduction.

So anyone can get it.

MORON.

[classicalmusic220]

i love your review but to me this movie sucks and to me the worst movie of the year because i love the comics!

[APE992]

ADHD camera work.

[TheClapperBored]

Good review. Shit film.

[amymelissa89]

I love watching your video reviews Anders - they always make me smile =)

Keep up the good work!

[cutprintreview]

@amymelissa89 thanks amy!

[jubri88]

if I had a ring like that I would throw it into the Cracks of Doom as soon as possible, magical rings are not to be trusted! every little hobbit in their right mind knows that... wait, what? wrong film? oh I guess I haven't seen it then, I'll watch the review a couple more times instead

[cutprintreview]

@jubri88 haha good call! Green Lantern could have done with a crack of Doom, or at least have the decency to hurtle itself into one...

[ttaryn]

Your skits never fail to make my day!

ilu :D

[cutprintreview]

@ttaryn and comments like that make mine :)

[mwaa2009]

Hehe you just keep getting better Anders. And cup cakes mmmm....some people get all the perks :(

[cutprintreview]

@mwaa2009 thanks! Not much money in film reviewing, so I'll take what perks I can get!

Try not to be a douche when reviewing movies. If u are trying to be funny, make yourself likable and not a person who does not appreciates anything.

[cutprintreview]

@crazycrazyppl I call it like I see it. The last thing YouTube needs is another person who likes everything and sugar coats any negativity out of fear of getting haters and dislikes. That defeats the purpose of movie criticism. If we just lay down and accept every crappy and soulless CGI mess Hollywood churns out, we'll never truly appreciate the occasional gem.

So if I don't like a movie, you'll know about it. That doesn't mean I think my opinion is law, but you can bet on it being honest.

[crazycrazyppl]

@cutprintreview By no means am I saying that this movie is good. Oh gawd it was awful! I've seen your other reviews and this is just my opinion of how I see you. I'm not criticizing your opinion at all. For example, you might say the move was filled with bad acting (like you said about the leads in HP and some in Apes), but when I see the movie I did't see anything bad at all. The dialogue was spot on and no character bothered me. Watch "The Mystical Adventures of Billy Owens" for bad acting.

[cutprintreview]

@crazycrazyppl Well, Apes was less bad acting than it was bland characters. And I stand by the Potter trio being wooden. But still, I appreciate the considered reply. I realise my snarky sense of humour isn't going to please everyone, but I don't think I'm a person who doesn't appreciate everything. X-men: First Class, Insidious, Harry Potter, The Beaver, Super 8, Troll Hunter and Tree of Life.... all movies I gave mostly positive reviews to.

[reubsolomon]

@crazycrazyppl shhhhhh

[shanaekt]

omfg i love your reviews u should do tons of them!!!

the leprecorn killed me

[theFLICKpick]

Ha, A helicopter and a hot wheels track its sad but true, some quippy one liners in this vid. Dodgy Indian food we Americans dont use the term "Dodgy" we just say shity. Nice review pal and I agree with everything u say. The funny thing is I still gave this messy slop of a movie a positive review....Not sure why.

[BigOMovieReviews]

Dude you are hilarious

[redrobin948]

good review, very funny.

[AlanGunn97]

Um, did you just call Justin Bieber an alien parasite hellbent on destroying the good in the universe? You're a genius!!

[cutprintreview]

@AlanGunn97 I might have.. ;)

[shiftydevil623]

huh...

people thought this man was funny? Must be a europeon thing.

[StuffedBurritoEnt]

Jesus Christ, hahaha that was funny. I'm not gonna lie, this is the first video I've seen of you. All my friends on Youtube seem to love you and I'm just barely finding out about you. I feel so ashamed. Great stuff. I think you made me dislike the film even more now, haha!

[thefrickenfilmcritic]

HAHAHA! Free booze and cupcakes? Wouldn't that make every film better?

[cutprintreview]

@thefrickenfilmcritic It almost did! The things studios will do for a good review... they need to do more often IMO.

[justbeingme232]

@cutprintreview can you review the scream movies?? or the the shining? :D because that whould be awesome(i love talking about horror movies!) also any thoughts on final destination 5? c:

[cutprintreview]

@justbeingme232 The Shining is one of my all time faves, so there might be a chance to review that down the track! I'll definitely try and review Final Destination 5 -- the series is one of my guilty pleasures! -- but it's not out in Australia yet. Sigh...

[BambuProductions]

You make good points but overall I enjoyed it the movie. i needed silly fun and that's what I got! It ain't all that terrible it's just kinda childlish .Critics are over-bashing this movie, in my opinion.

[CaliCriticReviews]

Brilliant review man! I also thought this film was very silly and stupid.

[batb1987]

You're really funny. Good thing i subscribed.

[cutprintreview]

@batb1987 Thanks :)

[cweffer]

Hey i'm Australian too, and it sucks we get some movies so late, for you it's even worse because you don't get as much views in those particular reviews :/ i love your reviews anyway :D

[BenGriffithsReviews]

@cweffer We got Thor early though. And Harry Potter.

[cutprintreview]

@BenGriffithsReviews Yeah, if it's released the same week in both AU and US, we technically get it two days earlier because of time difference and the fact that out movies come out on Thursday, while theirs come out on Friday.

[cutprintreview]

@cweffer Yeah, it's a shame because I does hamper my views. Also, it makes it hard to see a movie without heavy preconceptions from all the American reviewers. Still, this summer we got most major movies in sync, so it's hard to complain too much! Thanks for the comment :)

[SomethingAboutMovies]

Hahaha I loved this review! Your videos are always so entertaining and you made some really good points about the movie. And I'm so jealous about the free booze and cupcakes.

[cutprintreview]

@SomethingAboutMovies Thanks! Informing whilst Entertaining...that's basically my mantra! The free booze and cupcakes certainly softened the blow of the average movie.

[mroussow893]

cutprintreview sir, your favourite film of the year?



[moovieman222]

awesome review, I did not like this movie

[ShipperWar]

I feel like people are always just judging me when they dislike this film, since I actually really liked it. *hangs head in shame*

[cutprintreview]

@ShipperWar Never be ashamed to have a different opinion. As long as you can articulate WHY you believe differently, it's an opinion worth having!

[icemanlj2k7]

i didnt hate green lantern. it wasnt particularly good...but it wasnt terrible

[ShipperWar]

First.
