I am really hoping they don’t mess this movie up. Growing up, Green Lantern was one of my favorite super heroes. He was one of the “other guys” that most people didn’t talk about. Batman was always my first but Lantern fell second. He has a fun personality and righteous power and ability to adventure between worlds.
I like Ryan Reynolds as an actor, but so far I haven’t been able to picture him as Green Lantern. I will make my official judgement after I see the movie.  I have been waiting awhile for this movie to make it’s debut. I knew they wouldn’t be able to hold out on it. It took them forever to finally get around to making it, so let’s hope the wait was worth it…because of this movie turns out to be as fun as watching some lame ass Dragon Ball movie….I will be mad đŸ™‚
Kick-Ass, the movie (2010)
This movie is nothing less than amazing for it’s genre type. The movie leaves you laughing from start to finish, and at parts…possibly even applauding (despite your age). I don’t know what is so entertaining about a little girl with a gun bringing bad guys to their knees…but it makes me want to go out and train my little step sis how to kick some rear (not that she isn’t perfect the way she is).
This movie offers a little fun for everyone. The younger crowd will simply think it awesome, and the older crowd may be brought back to their younger days and what it feels like to enjoy a tongue-and-cheek super hero presentation. It’s isn’t realistic, yet it isn’t too over-board. It finds a nice happy place in the middle. The audience I watched it in…grunted, laughed, applauded, burst out with comments like “OH HELL YA!!!” and started socializing with each other after the movie to talk about it amongst each other. You would think you’re at some kind of social movie convention.
So I say, get in your cars, trucks, bikes, skateboards, blades, running shoes, parachutes, power wheels, teleporters…whatever it takes…and get down to your local theater and give this movie a watch! Do it quick before Kick-Ass comes for YOU! And….tell your friends.
The movie obviously contains some language (as if the title doesn’t give that away), so that is something that should be noted (if you plan on bringing your kids).
