The Green Lantern Movie Kinda Really Stunk

I spent the morning praising Green Lantern, so how about we spend the afternoon taking the piss out of him?

I’m still amazed that we live in a world with an actual, live action Green Lantern movie. Before making Wonder Woman or the Flash, much more popular and simpler characters, Hollywood gave us a Green Lantern film. And as much as I may praise Geoff Johns, not even his collaboration could steer Green Lantern the movie towards being a success. Maybe the problem is that the movie didn’t bother actually using the Green Lantern stories that made the character so popular. Seriously, even with Johns consulting on set, the filmmakers went ahead and changed most of his big ideas for no particular reason. Why would they do that? What possible gain did they foresee?

Now we’ll never get that sequel. At least the gang at CinemaSins can have some fun with it.

I Will Never Skip an Opportunity to Make Fun of Prometheus

The hits just keep coming for last year’s movie stinker Prometheus, this time from the guys at the newly formed Cinema Sins.

I’ve been enjoying these Cinema Sins videos since they started with The Avengers and The Amazing Spider-Man, but it wasn’t until this Prometheus one made me giggle that I’ve decided to post it. I look forward to any new ones they make. Enjoy!
