In spite of that, “Lanterns” should be the benchmark for what aspiring superhero projects look to produce, even if its sky high potential makes its amazing result still feel underwhelming.

Share: Everything about the Cornell gang rape story is so hideous that it becomes easy to lose faith in humanity.
