Does Arisia Rrab talk much in this movie?

[NecroVMX]

@Deanmo23 no, she really didn't have many lines at all.

I like the version of Sinestro in this film. He is a character like Magneto. He honestly doesn't consider himself to be "evil" so why would he be portrayed like he is? He sees the Guardians as the true enimies and he is going to be the one to set every right nomatter what he has to do to achieve that.. That makes his character alot more interesting rather then him being potrayed as the sterotypical "evil" bad guy cuz thats just fucking lame.

[NecroVMX]

@ryano2099 you're absolutely right, in the books lately sinestro is practically a good guy.

Look - i appreciate you reviewing it, but it is a poor review if you tell the viewer what happens in the film - "you can pretty much guess what happens..." and then you say. I had to stop watching. Where's your spoiler alert?

[NecroVMX]

@Pipehitting SPOILER ALERTS! JESUS DIES, KING KONG GETS SHOT, GREEN LANTERN WINS, THERE'S NO SANTA CLAUS, BATMAN BEATS UP THE JOKER AND YOUR MOM'S A WHORE.

Hope you didn't accidentally read that, it might spoil important shit for you.

I liked it, i think the fast past, get hals past out of the way and leap into the action was much better than the live action movie, now lets see what happens when Carol turns into star sapphire and her and hal have a lovers quarell,  i hope they do it like batman returns. they don't know who the other is till something is said and each as that "oh s*&t" look on thier faces. now that would be cool.

This movie is a 100 times better than the live action movie. Nuff said.

When you said the artwork could be strange with Sinestro and the Yellow power battery, I also found another art problem. Sinestro's ring had the green lantern symbol. It should have the parralax symbol. Subscribe to my channel if you want

@Pipehitting I believe the best reviews have to include spoilers, then how else can you truly analyze and discuss a film, if you are watching this review, it is safe to assume you have seen the film

[helrod]

This is far better than the live action movie will be.

just seeing the trailer for that thing made me a little embarrassed to be a lantern fan.

[preacherZer0]

8 out of 10 pretty much nails it.

Y'know what bugged me in this movie... no individual power battery for each ring.

I guess they felt it over complicated things or whatever, but for me it's an iconic part of the GL mythos. "power level 86.3%" etc.

All in all still pretty decent and the punch up between hal and sinestro above the planet was very nicely done, with the green and yellow energy flaring with each punch.

[RandomAnonamo]

For the most part, I agree. I liked how they did Sinestro. He not evil. He just wants order. Fear brings that order, and he wields it masterfully.
