Opinions: OK… I’m not going to lie. When I started watching this… I just wasn’t sure. I mean, it starts off really weird…you keep asking ‘why is this like this’ and ‘why is that like that’ and ‘wait, is she a duck or a girl or…and who’s the ghost guy?....what is going on!’ But as you watch the episodes, you get more and more captivated, and you realize that eventually the questions will be answered, so you should just watch and enjoy. In the end, it becomes heart-felt and wonderful and the parts that seemed the weirdest become the parts your most fond of. Duck teaches us a very valuable lesson too. That it’s okay to be yourself… even if it’s not exactly what you wish you were, it’s the only you there is.

Opinions: Most of this movie is…curious. Firstly I’ll say, it’s a movie you have to pay attention to, and you have to watch it more than once. Once you’ve seen it, you can understand it, and once you understand it it’s easier to view. The first time you watch it to get what you’re supposed to get, and the second is pure enjoyment from then on. It’s full of very dry humor and it’s very drawn out. At times it can be difficult to follow, but it is amusing, interesting and very heart-felt. It kind of made me realize how many fandoms in which Death is a character that I like. In this one I enjoy him most…Skull-face and all. The ending of this was very good, it had a great message. I've rewatched it a total of 7 times, and each time I enjoy it more than the last :)

Opinions: As with most of these comic book adaptations, a few things are changed. But in this case most of the changes only enhance the story. Hal Jordan is the essence of humanity, struggling at the place between striving for fearlessness & struggling with the true meaning of courage. The movie is very captivating with no low spots which cause attention spans to waver. The fantastical elements of the story are stunningly portrayed yet very realistic. As adaptations go, it's true to its source material and does very well as a stand-alone movie. I look forward to any sequels that may come from this :)
