    Just saw Green Lantern the Extended Cut.

    There are two options:

    a) As I've got older, I slowly stopped enjoying simple yet entertaining things, which would be contradictory to my latest tendencies of getting more into comic books, pulp fiction and cheap exploitation movies.

    b) This was just an overpoduced, yet somehow boring flick filled with amateurish filmmaking mistakes, like the flashback to a scene which happened like 15 minutes ago, pointless cutaways and jump-cuts and of course the giant headed Reynolds when he confronts the Guardians (the quality of CGI is like a rollercoaster throughout the whole movie).

    What a waste...

    @joshmightbe: The mods decide. I hoped someone will enlighten me that the theatrical version, which I haven't seen, is actually better or at least bearable.

    @Bobzenub: It'd be great if you were high but if you're not into that then I don't suggest it

    Even the extended cut was bad? I was hoping it'd be like the Daredevil Extended Cut...

    @Adnan: I cannot really compare the two, only rented the EC. On it's own merits, the movie fails because it's bad editing and even though it clearly had a tight concept behind it, the story was like a sandcastle on a beach: constantly falling apart, yet somehow kept together, but in the end, it was just a ruin. As an adaptation it wasn't that bad, as a fan of the Green Lantern comic books I even felt entertained at some parts, but not enough to feel satisfied when the credits rolled.

    @Bobzenub: It was kinda financial wastefull movie, i still believe if they played it smart (well thats easy to say in hindsight) that they could have made it work.

    Like i still dont understand why the hell they used 100% cgi for his suit... why not make a real suit and then pimp it a little bit afterwards with some cgi here and there and then use some of that money on more action, more scenes on OA, more fights etc. I would also love to have had a cameo of John Stewart or something.

    The plot would've been way better if they didn't shoehorn Parallax into the movie.
