Mini-Review: As a fan of the comic, I should recuse myself from discussion since I love the source. Then, I realized, I'm a Kyle Rayner GL fan, so whatever: this movie is bad. It's not bad in that you laugh at the screen at its ineptitude, it's just sad and boring. Ryan Reynolds is hideously miscast as Hal Jordan, the story is underwhelming, the CG is bad, the editing is bad, the writing is a mess, the acting is pretty bad... but worst of all, it's just boring. That, to me, was most disappointing.
Mini-Review: As a black metal enthusiast, none of this was information that I didn't already know. That's not really the point of the film though. It's a look at how the whole scene affected two of its most prominent survivors, and how the idea of what they knew as black metal is lost to time, mostly out of their own doing. And Frost! His time in the film is the most disturbing scene in any film, and all too real. I guess I liked the film more than most people, though.
Mini-Review: I enjoyed it, but far from what most people said about its complexity, I found it almost too easy to follow. I also didn't like the main character's dilemma. This film isn't as deep as people think it is, but it's at least good entertainment.
Mini-Review: I'm pretty sure this film had to have been made to front some kind of money. They're not even trying.
Mini-Review: While rife with good ideas, it's ultimately way too silly in execution, which unravels the satire to a point where its message is lost.
Mini-Review: Seriously, really? Why is Lucio Fulci well regarded? With all due respect to the memory, he couldn't direct one way traffic. The practical effects are ridiculous, the story makes no sense, the reaction shots are hilarious, the overdubbing is atrocious, and it's not even that watchable to make fun of it. Ugh, man, what utter rubbish.
