हरा लालटेन: मेरी शक्ति से सावधान रहें

There was a lot going on in this movie. I looks great and voice acting was good. The pace is breakneack, but fun.

Jon Stewart is our GL this time and it is his fish out of water story. So naturally with such a character, you get a lot of heavy exposition, but I love lore.

This does however, make the movie feel bogged down in the sense of a traditional movie's pacing. They don't build their characters in the story, you'd have to be invested in these characters from prior material to even care. That can leave you feeling uncomfortable however, if one were to consider some consequences of this films plot.

It is a great 'what if' story to hypothetically reboot the GL corps. I've never read a GL comic with Jon Stewart so I cannot be sure if plot comic accurate, but it was a good enough origin. This movie wouldn't fit neatly into any other timelines, i know of. So if thats a super concern of yours walk away now.

The animation in the hand to hand fight scenes are great, space battles were a little run of the mill. I wish charcters were treated more like humans with visible emotiosn, rather than blank suits I recognize.

While it has its merits, it didn't completely win me over. On the positive side, the animation is quite well-executed. The visual effects are vibrant and bring the fantastical elements to life, providing a colorful and engaging backdrop for the story. The voice acting is also a highlight, with the cast delivering performances that add depth and personality to their characters.

However, the film struggles with several issues. The plot feels rather formulaic, lacking the originality and complexity that could have elevated it. The story follows a predictable trajectory, making it hard to stay invested in the outcome. Additionally, the character development is somewhat shallow, and the main protagonist doesn't evolve much beyond a typical hero's journey.

The pacing is another problem, with some scenes dragging on and others feeling rushed. This uneven rhythm can make the film feel disjointed at times. The villain is also underwhelming, failing to provide a compelling adversary for the hero's journey.

In summary, while the animation and voice work are commendable, the film ultimately falls short in terms of story and character development. It's a decent watch for fans of the genre, but it lacks the depth and excitement needed to make it truly memorable.

What worked was the animation...top notch as usual or better than usual. What didn't work was the story. Sure it started slow with a different angle to the origin story kept me interested till first half of the movie. Unfortunately some middle aged kid suddenly took over the story and messed up the remaining half especially the end. The end was pathetic and unwarranted. Guess another half way down the drain. This lantern is definitely out of juice. Watch it only for the animation.

And enough with origin stories give us something better.

This movie is painful.

If you are a Green a lantern fan.

If you are a dc Fan.

If you have ears.

If you remember the justice league Series from the early 2000s.

Characters are bizzaro. Caricatures of there Comic or cartoon counterparts.

No part of the movie makes sense . It is comically poorly Written, the dialogue feels like it was written under duress so many things in this movie given just a bit of thought could have been salvaged. Worst part is i after watching this and groaning at the dialogue and plot i can imagine a version of this that is not awful. It basically needed a heavy handed editing and or a complete Rewrite .

It forgets to actually be a John Stewart origin story and undermines the attempts to explore it's morality but Green Lantern: Beware My Power is still a solid sci-fi adventure that benefits from a strong voice cast, a fast pace and pretty strong animation.

Aldis Hodge is a great John Stewart thanks to the gravitas he brings to the role and he's able to use his talent and presence to make some questionable dialogue work just about. The rest of the voice cast is good with Nolan North being a natural standout.

The animation is once again becoming hemogonized but this style is still way more vibrant and detailed than the previous iteration. The music by Kevin Riepl is really good, adding some ominous sci-fi sounds the typically heroic proceedings.
