Just got back from Green Lantern. I'm a huge Hal Jordon fan, though I think Ryan Reynolds was sort of "Meh" as him.
Anyway, my friend giggled nearly the entire movie after seeing the guardians and upon getting home informed of us what the giggling was about. Apparently, after seeing the guardians one, she could only picture this:

She made that BTW, after the movie...
Anyway, overall the movie wasn't bad, considering it was the first ever GL movie. I'm debating maybe doing an "Pterrydactyl's Movie Review" thread for movies cause one of the things me and my girlfriend love to do is goto movies. Plus, I'm getting a degree in Digital Cinema, and just saying that sentence makes me sound pretentious, until I remember that it's basically fancy-talk for putting shiney explosions in movies...

I haven't seen Thor or X-men yet, so this is down on the list of things to see. Doesn't look as good as the other two.

I saw it earlier today. I thought it was pretty good.

Thor = sucked, only good part was the credits where they show bad ass views of our galaxy and that was realllyyy tripppyy for my stoned mind.
X-men, they finally made the effects of all the mutants AWESOME and more pronounced and CGI effects for them

You have to be trolling...
Thor was probably one of the best surprises of the year. While I'm not a very big Thor fan, even I recognize how amazingly well done Thor was.
While the CGI could have been better, thor isn't about the CGI so much as it is about the story. I won't go into the specifics, but just that it was brilliantly executed. They needed some of the characters like thor to give off a vibe closer to Lord of the Rings than a modern day super-hero, and he did. By using classicly trained actors and grabbing Kenneth Branagh as a director, they managed to pull it off.
Now, tell me something specific that you think they did bad enough to earn the "it sucks" instead of just "I didn't like it".
Cause they took a HUGE risk doing it the way they did with the audiences they get for superhero movies and they hit the jackpot.
Oh and with x-men:
the story was good. I really liked how it showed the orgins of the doomed friendship between Xavier and Magneto. It felt like it was going a bit too "70's show" at times, but hey, it was the 70's. I also really liked how they explored the characters deeper, they showed that it wasn't just a rivalry or hatred between Magneto and Xavier, it was that they had a close friendship that was always doomed. But, that didn't stop them from trying. Another thing I liked was that they made you feel more for magneto than for Xavier. He seemed like a pain most of the time with his"If mutants can save the world, everyone will love us" compared to Magnetos "This is how it starts". It took both of their opinions on the world to a new level.

Thor was a terrible move really. In response to Pterrydactylhis I thought the acting was very average and the romance in it was terrible. The story has a whole was okay but not good enough to make up for its negatives.
X-men was cool though, have yet to see Green Lantern.

Yeah, I have heard lots of people say very different things about Thor. I guess I'll just have to watch it and decide for myself.

We should watch Green Lantern when you come down.

Thats because it was "stage" acting and not movie acting. It was meant to give that sort of "off" feeling. Actually, Thor will probably win a lot of awards for it's acting because the majority of critics and people who went to see it liked it. If you've ever read a Thor comic, you would understand why the acting was the way it was. Because that's how the asgardians act. And the romance felt weird because of the way they went about it, they took a relationship that had taken years to make (in the comic universe), and had to all happen over just 3 days.
