Curious about these mystery rounds

All I will say is that aside from the requested films, anything is fair game.

[Ezen Baklattan]

Tonight will be Green Lantern, Splatoon, and my *MYSTERY ROUND!!!*

 

Will also try to knock out Sabrina and Bambi (the latter I already read) this evening if I have time.

(My mystery round is TWO movies...)

[YM!]

Not to complain but I requested Medusa and it wasn’t on this list, does that mean mysterious round?

[Ezen Baklattan]

Oops I’m a dummy. Will add that to the queue.

[Ezen Baklattan]

One of the mystery round movies will really give you life...

After I cook dinner it’s time to put a ring on it @YourMother the Edgelord

Two things I notice right away:

 

1. This has the exact same runtime as Voltron 1 and Spark: Rising

 

2. Madame Y and Antigone are both in this. Hmm....

Remember that Kozalex got engaged in Spark 3 before all the shit happened.

I thought you meant Ricky Whittle who was Tamara's would-be-husband Rez in TSW1.

Both count, arguably.

Green Lantern Corps: Rise of the Manhunters

 

Spoiler

A world of visual splendor with creatures of all shapes, sizes, and colors, a fun, breezy, yet still epic tone anchored by a caring relationship between the hero and a close companion, a secret world where Julie Andrews Rule? And all in a DC movie? Oh my god, it's Aquaman!

 

But I digress. At the same time, Green Lantern Corps feels a hell of a lot inspired by modern superhero movies, but uses their strengths as a way to create a breezy, fun time. It's probably silly to say in this context, but the visual effects truly have a WOW factor. These worlds are amazing and delightful to watch unfold, and it's especially worth catching in IMAX. Props especially for the really fun and creative way the powers are used. The plot itself isn't quite as impressive, but it does what it has to to maintain our interest, including with a strong performance from Armie Hammer, who pulls off the hero's duty quite nicely.

 

Sinestro, as well as performer Joaquin Phoenix, is arguably the MVP of the film, adding a touching "human" element and creating a strong introduction to this world. Knowing how fate will tragically go with Sinestro, I've no doubt got my eye on how he's developed in the future. 

 

I will agree with @cookie that it's probably a bit more overstuffed than it needs to be. Brie is really the only important character on Earth, and some of the action scenes could have been edited down or taken out altogether. Either way, Green Lantern offers an exciting new franchise, and I can't wait to see where it goes from here.

Thank you so much.

 

Forgot to ask, what are you and @cookie‘s thoughts on the post credit scenes?

I'm down for Sterling K. Brown! The other scene was decent, will be fun to see Odysseus as a villain.
