50/50: A film review

 - Vancouver, British Columbia - Joseph Gordon-Levitt has quickly become one of my favourite actors of recent, despite my lack of affection for him in 3rd Rock from the Sun. It all began with 500 Days of Summer and then continued with a magnificent film like Inception, so when I found out that he'd be starring next to Seth Rogen in 50/50, I was a little concerned. Seth Rogen can do what he does best well, but it isn't something that I particularly enjoy seeing in film after film. He attempted to show some diversity in an action film like The Green Hornet, but ultimately, he came off as the same chummy goofball with little grounding in reality or the real world.

The character saw many mediums spanning from comic books to film serials to a TV series in the 60s that actually crossed over with Batman on a few occasions.
