Green Lantern was better!..............................Im joking its not that bad!
Bit of a precursor if your reading this, thanks, more importantly if you loved the film good for you I wish I did. Even though this review on the surface looks like a rant its not I assure you, even though I really didn't like the film I will try my hardest to give some positives with some constructive criticism.
I had absolutely no expectations going into this film, I personally thought the first film was good but I wasn't a huge fan. Trailers for this did look promising but nothing amazing caught my eye, however nothing prepared me for the full film. I have no idea what I just watched, did I see a different film to everyone else?? I'm going to try give some positives but this film was extremely boring. Im not gonna trash this film to pieces, I personally don't like doing that, I will try to find some positives.
There are only a few positives I can take away really firstly the best performance and most interesting character in the whole film is Domino played by Zazie Beetz. I though her character was an interesting and funny concept that actually worked however I feel her didn't get enough screen time. Another positive is the action and directing is ok from David Leitch, nothing mind blowing but all ok. Erm...........trying to think of something else nice to say...........erm..........Some of the jokes where ok I suppose but a lot of them did not land for me. Unfortunately thats it I think, which is a real bummer.
I'll keep the negatives short as possible, there are a lot of them. Firstly characters, apart from Domino, were all really one dimensional even though the film was trying desperately to give them emotion and backstory. The fact that a "C-side" character in Domino is the best character is worrying. The story as a whole is really boring, dull and nothing new, its sort of completely against everything the first film built up as a foundation. The jokes for the most part did not land for me, there was a huge amount of them but thats to be expected. What else erm..............you know it was so dull I think Ive forgotten a lot of the film.........Josh Brolin was getting a pay check. The kid oh wow was he annoying, why would you want to help that kid?? Even though there is pretty much action for a lot of this film, Ive never had an experience like this, I was bored out of my mind watching it.
Overall this film is definitely not what I was expecting and undoes everything the original film did so well. I hate doing this but 30% out of 100 or 3 out of 10 this film is bad and I certainly won't watch it again. If you loved this film great, fantastic and good for you but this was not for me. I know I will be in the minority on this but each to your each, It is sad because I genuinely wanted to like the film. Best thing to do watch the first film and forget this one!
