I was bored. I was shifting in my seat, begging for the story to JUST F-ING MOVE! The pace of the movie made turtles look like super-sonic jets. When i walked out of the theater i expected the movie to have been 2.5-3 hours (despite how my mind and body assumed it would be 4 hours later) and i was frightened to see it had been only 2 hours. Hey Warner Bros, before this the only experience that could make time slow down so succinctly was high school.
I went into GL knowing the least about the character (Never read the comics) and to be brutally honest. I somehow care less about GL now.
