Review: Green Lantern

The Green Lantern is about the Green Lantern Corps that exists in a universe as protectors of peace and justice. A brotherhood of warriors formed by the different races from entire universe sworn to keep intergalactic order.



Each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected for the Corps: Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds).



Hal is a gifted and egoistic test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. Especially their replacement leader, Sinestro (Mark Strong), after Abin Sur (Temuera Morrison) was eventually killed by Parallax, didn't have faith in Hal Jordan.



But Hal is clearly the missing piece to the puzzle and along with his determination and willpower. With the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris (Blake Lively), Hal quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears.



P/S: Blake Lively as Carol Ferris is hot!

Hal then proves that he is not only the key to defeating Parallax, he also become the greatest Green Lantern of all.



When Hal discovered his new Green Lantern powers and traveled through the universe to the Green Lantern Corps' headquarters, Sinestro wasn't convinced by Hal and was determined that he was useless to the group.

Hal eventually went back to Earth, became a hero when he prevented an accident caused by a nemesis Hector Hammond (Peter Sarsgaard).



Hector, who dissected Abin Sur's body after being retrieved by the Government agents, obtained Parallax's power which was left on the injured part of Abin Sur's body. His dad tried to save him from it but Hector killed his dad.

Hector loved Carol as well, and was jealous at Hal for being so close to her. He wanted to kill both Carol and Hal but was deceived when Hal offered the Green Lantern ring to him. Hector managed to used its power but as mentioned, the ring picks its successors - it's not obtained.

Parallax then finally reached Earth and killed Hector by sucking out his soul for failing to adhere to his command - which was to eliminate Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern that possesses Abin Sur's ring.



The Parallax then started to kill the humans on Earth but was distracted by Hal and proceeded to space for a fight. Hal eventually led the Parallax to the sun and Parallax was killed because of the sun's heat.

Honestly, Parallax died too easily. I was expecting more actions between the whole Green Lantern Corp and the Parallax, but it was just an one-on-one battle which ended prematurely, somehow.

Overall, the movie was just okay. Cool Green Lantern outfit. Handsome Ryan Reynolds. Hot chick (Blake Lively obviously!). But the bad guy died too too easily. Simple storyline, nothing mind-boggling. An ordinary superhero movie.

The lesson of the movie was "It's alright to be afraid, but have the courage to face that fear!"

Noobie Rating: 5/10 (Watch it if there's no other better movies)

Review: Thor

Thor is about the warrior Thor (Chris Hemsworth) being cast out of the fantastic realm of Asgard by his father Odin (Anthony Hopkins) for his arrogance and sent to Earth to live among humans.



Falling in love with scientist Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), she teaches Thor much-needed lessons and his new-found strength comes into play as a villain from his homeland sends dark forces toward Earth.



Being banished by his father Odin, Thor ended up on Earth and met a team of scientists that consists of Jane Foster, Darcy Lewis (Kat Dennings) and Erik Selvig (Stellan Skarsgård). They eventually assisted Thor while he was wandering around.

Thor's nemesis (also formerly known as his brother) Loki took over the realm of Asgard after Thor's banishment as king, while Odin was terribly ill. Trying his best to prevent Thor from returning and wanting to be the ruler, he tried his best to destroy Thor himself.



Eventually, it's revealed that Loki was actually the son of King Laufey, the leader of the Frost Giants from Jötunheim. Odin picked and kept him as his other "son" while he was still a baby. Surprisingly, Loki betrayed King Laufey as well in order to prove to Odin that he is a better son than Thor.

Thor's mum was glad, but that didn't last long.



Thor survived on Earth, especially with his talented fighting skills. When he wanted to redeem back his Mjollnir hammer from the dirt, he was caught and captured by Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg) and his men from SHIELD.

Later on, Jane managed to free Thor and as Loki got more restless, he sent down the Destroyer to destroy Thor and his comrade friends who came down to Earth to search for him.



A fight ensued and eventually Thor was successful. The funny thing was the men from SHIELD thought the Destroyer is another creation of Tony Stark, the Iron Man. But they were so wrong as the Destroyer started attacking them.

Anyway, Thor successfully regained his power and the Mjollnir hammer returned to him. Dressed up in his usual heroic attire and feeling so much powerful again, he and his comrades returned to Asgard to find Loki and his father.

Thor fought with Loki and eventually, yes Loki lost and he sort of "suicide".



Overall, the movie was filled with good actions and a little suspense. To add on to that, it has several jokes and humor included throughout the show, which made it entirely entertaining and catchy.

Chris Hemsworth definitely suits the Thor character. Strong and masculine, that's what it takes to be the king of Asgard. Tom Hiddleston's Loki was naturally a villain, although he was somewhat the good guy/brother in the beginning.

Natalie Portman did it again by performing well as Jane Foster. Intelligent and smart for a scientist and she portrays herself as a determined lady - which could have been why Thor fell in love with her. At the end of the show, Thor promised to return to Earth after returning to Asgard but since the Bifrost Portal was destroyed, he could only look from above.

The storyline was pretty ordinary and mediocre, but somehow there is a certain spark that comes with it - making it quite a nice movie after all. Remember to stay back to watch the "Easter Egg" after the credits.

Noobie Rating: 7/10 (Another masterpiece leading to The Avengers in 2012)
