REVIEW:GREEN LANTERN (2011)-A new breed of superhero is here.

Directed By:Martin Campbell

Starring: Ryan Reynolds AS Green Lantern.

This is the comic adaptation from DC comics’ character of same name called Green Lantern. First thing first, I went to see this with minimum expectations but it turned out to be super impressive (I liked the whole concept and character even better than Spider-man).

Millions of years ago a group called guardians of universe created Green Lantern corps with the help of green force of willpower. Each green lantern protects each sector of universe which is divided in 3600 sectors. In present time a fear essence-Parallax whom Abin Sur-one of the green lantern imprisoned, escapes from prison and after killing four lanterns attacks Abin Sur and wounds him. abin sur escapes to nearest planet (earth),and releases his ring to find suitable person to be green lantern in his place. The ring chooses Hal Jordan- an aircraft pilot. From here the whole adventure of finding himself and being a true Green Lantern for Jordan starts and ultimately finds why he was the chosen one.

 Plot may be familiar like saving universe from an evil and all but there is something in this character which differentiates him from other super hero and impress also. He was not looser kid like spider-man or not a born superhero from different planet like superman, here was a man who was fighting with his inner strengths and weaknesses which gave this an extra edge over others.

Action sequences are always life of superhero movies and this movie gets full marks on that ground. Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern is impressive (especially after watched him playing soft loving characters in past-except in X-men:volverine).

It’s worth watching and paisa vasool entertainer specially for those who is tired of watching slapstick hindi movies.

RATINGS: 7 OUT OF 10

Review: THOR (2011)

Directed By: Kenneth Branagh

Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Anthony Hopkins, Tom Hiddlestone

THOR-the god of thunder is based on a superhero character from MARVEL comics of the same name. It is meant to be summer blockbuster and so far has been successful. (Before anyone watches this movie, it is needed to have basic idea of the character and world around it)

It starts with Odin-King of Asgard(Hopkins) defeating Frost Giants of Jotunheim from conquering the Nine Realms including earth in 965AD. In present when son of Odin-THOR was about to be king of Asgard, the Frost Giants tries to get back the Casket of ancient winter which was ceased by Odin back when he defeated frost Giants. This leads to THOR overpowering his father’s order and he goes to Jotunheim with his brother Loki and his warrior friends. Odin interrupts the fight and ceases all powers of THOR for his insane and exiles him to earth with his hammer-Mjolnir protected by spell that a worthy person will be able to handle and use it.

On the other hand Loki finds that he is actually son of Leufi-leader of frost giants. He gives Frost giants chance to kill Odin but THOR’s worrier friends finds it and goes to earth to get Thor back. Thor also discovers what his father wanted to teach and get his hammer and power back and at the end defeating Frost Giants.

As it a superhero movie it is meant to be full of action and superhero stuffs. So it is there in it with superb visuals. The actor portraying THOR,Chris Hemsworth is visually perfect and portrays well. Hopkins, Portman and Tom have also done well with their respective characters. Kenneth Branagh as we know is very good  actor-director, has justified with the movie. 

All in all it’s worth watching and I think specially kids will love it.

RATINGS: 6.75 OUT OF 10.
