There’s never quite been a movie constructed like The Avengers. The Avengers combines some of the biggest superheroes from the Marvel universe. Produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures, based upon the Marvel Comics superhero team of the same name. It is part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which crosses over several Marvel superhero films including Iron Man (2008), The Incredible Hulk (2008), Iron Man 2 (2010), Thor (2011) and Captain America: The First Avenger (2011).

The film is written and directed by Joss Whedon and features an ensemble cast, which includes:
Robert Downey Jr. – Tony Stark/Iron Man
Gwyneth Paltrow – Pepper Potts
Samuel L. Jackson – Nick Fury
Scarlett Johansson – Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow
Chris Hemsworth – Thor
Tom Hiddleston – Loki
Chris Evans – Steve Rogers/Captain America
Jeremy Renner – Clint Barton/Hawkeye
Mark Ruffalo – Bruce Banner/Hulk

The Avengers tells the story of Nick Fury, director of the peacekeeping organization S.H.I.E.L.D., who recruits Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, and Captain America to save the world from destruction.

The Avengers is scheduled to be released on May 4, 2012 in the United States.

Green Lantern The Movie

In brightest day, in blackest night,
No evil shall escape my sight
Let those who worship evil’s might,
Beware my power… Green Lantern’s light!

I know, it’s a little bit too late for a Green Lantern movie review, but since I have watched it, why not

With the onslaught of Marvel comics making their way to the big screen year after year, DC Comics delivers Green Lantern. Although it tops the North American box office with USD53.2 million on its opening, DC still has a lot to do if they plan to make an impact. So far, none of their movies fared well with audiences, except for The Dark Knight. The Dark Knight is the only one from DC that’s on par or better than whatever Marvel has offered. If I were to give a one sentence review on Green Lantern, it would be …

Overall, it wasn’t to bad, but it was not enough and illogical.

Green Lantern had somewhat decent acting. CGI was great …. but story wise, it was too ‘thin’ if compared to X-Men First Class and other Marvel superheroes movies. They should also ‘show’ more of Blake Lively in Green Lantern Her presents was not felt and I don’t think she made any impact to the movie although it was what she said that turn the tide.

And it was illogical when the best of the Green Lantern Corps can’t beat Parallax, he could. The character build up of Hal Jordan was not enough to show that he could overcome his lifelong irresponsibility to be the greatest Green Lantern.

For a movie about the power to create anything with one’s mind, it was uninspired.

Martin Campbell, the only director who has directed two James Bond films – GoldenEye and Casino Royale, who I think did a great job in Casino Royale, can’t seem to bring the Green Lantern movie on par with The Dark Knight. Seems like Green Lantern will stay as a B-list superhero.

If you missed it at the cinema, either wait for it to come to HBO or just rent it out. Get the Green Lantern (Three-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo + Digital Copy)or, if you prefer to be one of the GL Corps, be one in DC Universe online strategy game.

With the encouragement his childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris (Blake Lively), if Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallax and become the greatest Green Lantern of all.
