I saw 76 films that were released in 2011. I think that’s more than usual. The last two years it was in the 50′s. Anyway, as I like to do, I’ve ranked them in order of awesomeness. If any of the grades are different than the original score I gave them, that’s because I’ve probably watched them again since and given them an updated value. Or I’ve just had time to think about them more, and changed my mind a little bit. Yes, I can do that if I want. Maniacal laugh. Maniacal laugh. Maniacal laugh.
Right when Ryan Reynolds gets his new fancy Green Lantern suit, he is told that he has also been implanted with a virtual knowledge base by the Lantern folk, and he immediately has a vast knowledge of all the sectors of the universe that the Lanterns defend. Cool! Then that scene is immediately followed by about 10 minutes of having things bluntly explained to him while he stands there slack-jawed. “DUHHHHH WHAT’S PARALAX, FISH MAN…?” “DURRRR THE RING DOES WHAAAAAAT NOW?” I guess the knowledge base only gives him enough knowledge to win an intergalactic trivia contest… Perhaps they could have included a few more instructions, to at the very least save this movie from its wide array of exposition.
