This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Godfather, Citizen Kane, Back to the Future, The Empire Strikes Back, The Dark Knight. These movies changed cinema forever for the better and set an example for movies to come. Green Lantern easily fits in this list as one of the most emotionally encapturing superhero films in the film industry. The critics AGAIN were paid off by Marvel. They are such shills. I mean, what real critic would accept money from a production company to give their movies good reviews? Pathetic. The critics mention how the visual effects are an eyesore. This is certainly untrue, as they do not understand true art. They have to be fair, as this movie was released in 2011, so the effects couldn't be as good (except the Avengers, Iron Man, Thor, Spider-Man, Iron Man 2, Captain America, Incredible Hulk, and any other Marvel film). Moving on, I am a true comic book fan. I read Batman: The Killing Joke Twice and TWO Green Lantern comics so I know what I'm talking about. The story is inspiring and has great characters. The main protagonist, Hal Jordan, is very annoying, which is very true to the 2 comics I have read because the Hal Jordan we all know and love is a cocky douche bag. To be honest, I haven't watched the film since 2012 so I don't know the characters that much, but I'm sure they were great and very accurate to the two comics I have read. Lastly, villains come and go in movies. Some good, like Joker, and some bad, like every Marvel villain in their bland franchises. Dr. Eggman, I mean, I mean Hector Hammond, is the greatest comic book villain ever projected in cinema (except the marvelous Steppenwolf, but I don't want to talk about my second favorite movie, Justice League). I don't remember him in the two Green Lantern comics I have read, but I'm sure it's very faithful to the other comics. Speaking of comics, I have read on Wikipedia that Sinestro is the main villain of Green Lantern and was seen in the end credits. Unfortunately, I was asleep and did not pay attention to the final 45 minutes of the movie. Though he wasn't featured in the two Green Lantern comics that I have read, I am sure he was a fantastic and MARVELOUS villain. Some MARVEL SHILLS agree that villains should be developed like their horrid Loki or Thanos, but they fail to recognize that this is a new era of character development. No longer do we NEED character development, this film has shown me that. Now, as a REAL and UNBIASED critic. I do have some MINOR complaints. The story is underwhelming and all over the place and the trailers made it look better than what it actually was, but it was a FUN movie. For a movie to be FUN it has to show that the production company did not take the movie seriously at all, like who gives a crap about a good story and characters, let alone a good ending. BUT WHO CARES ABOUT THESE MINOR DETAILS????? As long as I see punches thrown, that is a good movie to me (UNLESS IT IS MARVEL. THEY WILL NEVER BE AS GOOD AS DC AND MARVEL SHOULD STOP TRYING TO REPLICATE DC'S CRITICAL SUCCESS). All in all, I just want to say that I gave a fair and unbiased review for this CULTURALLY CHANGING AND IMPACTFUL FILM. Thank you,

I'm being generous and giving Green Lantern a 7 because, unlike many other films, including many superhero films, I watched this film without pausing to check my watch and do a quick calculation of how much movie I still have left to sitI'm being generous and giving Green Lantern a 7 because, unlike many other films, including many superhero films, I watched this film without pausing to check my watch and do a quick calculation of how much movie I still have left to sit through.

It's not the greatest film ever made. There's at least one major plot point that defies all logic, such as why the ultimate evil villain needs any henchmen at all, since he's already proven himself capable of defeating some of the most powerful good guys in the entire universe. But Green Lantern does one thing that many other movies fail to do: it kept me entertained.

It doesn't dawdle. The fights do not go on so long that I start falling asleep. The dialog is competent and manages to avoid a lot of trite buzzwords.

Now I'm not familiar with the Green Lantern comic mythos, so maybe this film plays better for me just because most of it seems brand new. Unfortunately, I've got no way to judge that and all I can say is give this film a try.… Expand

You had a pretty charismatic star, the director of "Casino Royale" and some impressive CGI imagery to work with, how could you possibly fail? Well, you use all of that on a film with poor writing and forgettable characters! You can spend all the money you want on big actors and visual splendor (and spend they did, because the film costed some $200 million), but money can't write a brilliant script or create fantastic characters. All in all, "Green Lantern" is all style, no substance. Sometimes that works, other times it doesn't. In this case, it doesn't. If you're looking for one of the worst superhero films ever...well, honestly, you might still want to look elsewhere because this film isn't PAINFULLY bad, but if you're looking for a brilliant superhero film, you'll want to avoid "Green Lantern."… Expand

The DC Comics have always been populated by many characters of different abilities... but the two most popular characters are, and always have been, Batman and Superman. Not to mention that we have had many variations of movies with BatmanThe DC Comics have always been populated by many characters of different abilities... but the two most popular characters are, and always have been, Batman and Superman. Not to mention that we have had many variations of movies with Batman and Superman... maybe it's because they're easier to translate well onto the big screen, more so than most other heroes.

The character of Green Lantern also proves to be a challenge to adapt into a feature-length film... and it seems that, in 2011, that challenge has not been attempted well.

Ryan Reynolds stars as Hal Jordan, a hotshot test pilot for the Ferris Aircraft Company. Reynolds seems to channel mostly what Chris Evans did as Johnny Storm in 'Fantastic Four' (2005), often disregarding the health and safety of himself, and always breaking rules when he sees fit.

His limitations come from Carol Ferris (Blake Lively), who always has to tell him to take better care of himself or else he will end up either hurt or dead. She is also the daughter of Carl Ferris (Jay O. Sanders) who is the aircraft designer for the company named after him.

Hal ends up discovering something along his travels... he finds a green ring that has chosen him, for some reason, and sees a crash where a dying alien-like species named Abin Sur (Temeura Morrison) informs Hal that the ring chose him, and must use it to protect and save the race. It seems that things get out of hand when Sur's body is taken to Dr. Hector Hammond (a hilariously awful Peter Sarsgaard), and the life of the alien species is drawn onto Hammond, leaving him to change in appearance and become hungry for power.

Hal trains to become the powerful "Green Lantern" through a series of training montages, executed in such a cliche fashion, that it is not funny... it is in fact, very excruciating to watch and sit through. Luckily, these training sequences don't last long... but at the same time, they don't give us, as the audience, time to develop with Hal as he becomes used to the powers and abilities.

The ring is able to create whatever it is Hal is thinking. He uses it to save anyone from danger, but this leads to a string of badly rendered CGI action scenes that look more animated than a Pixar movie.

'Green Lantern' is a 2002 superhero movie, disguised as a 2011 superhero movie... it uses all of the long-dead cliches and traits that you expect from a typical superhero origin movie... a nobody finds something and becomes a somebody. He must train to become this somebody, and meanwhile, an antagonist finds himself poisoned and deformed in appearance and just wants power... for some reason. He also kills people as a threat to get what he wants. The hero's main love interest is kidnapped and he must make a decision that will secure everyone from danger.

If you've seen virtually any superhero movie over the past decade... then you have definitely seen 'Green Lantern'.

It's hard to believe that director Martin Campbell, who directed the brilliant 'Goldeneye' (1995) and 'Casino Royale' (2006), would go on to make a superhero movie lacing depth, compelling characters and a series of well-crafted action sequences. Plus, I must mention how awful Peter Sarsgaard's performance was as Dr. Hammond... the constant screaming, and bad CGI to deform his appearance is unintentionally hilarious to watch, and drags the movie further down than it should.… Expand

There are movies willed to life by the passion of their creators, and there are movies like Green Lantern, which are willed to life strictly by market forces. Superhero movies are popular right now, no one had tackled Green Lantern yet, andThere are movies willed to life by the passion of their creators, and there are movies like Green Lantern, which are willed to life strictly by market forces. Superhero movies are popular right now, no one had tackled Green Lantern yet, and voilà, here’s an adaptation that only the mouse-clicking digital artisans behind the effects shots seemed to give a **** about. Beyond the undigested lump of information about the origins and purpose of the Green Lantern Corps and a new rogue force threatening the universe, the early scenes are a marvel of CGI landscaping, presenting deep space as a shimmering Technicolor arena that pops like the pages of a particularly arresting comic book. Then the film comes down to Earth, repurposes Top Gun as a superhero story, and goes through the motions with a kid-friendly arbitrariness not seen since the last Fantastic Four movie.

Returning to the Van Wilder unctuousness that he lately had successfully dialed back, Ryan Reynolds plays Hal Jordan, a hotshot fighter pilot who rides into the danger zone at every opportunity. He also ignores the rules of engagement, has more raw talent than anyone has ever seen, is haunted by his pilot father’s tragic legacy, falls for his superior (Blake Lively) on the tarmac, and would likely serenade ladies with “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling” if Anthony Edwards were his wingman. Hal’s raw talent (and ripped abs) are not lost on the galactic forces behind the Green Lantern Corps, a brotherhood of warriors that maintain peace in the universe. As a new enemy called Parallax threatens the balance, Hal comes into possession of a ring that gives him the power to fight back with the force of his will and imagination.

Green Lantern tries to make a case of human exceptionalism: Out of the thousand-plus species comprising the Green Lantern Corps, only Hal, the newcomer, has the humanity that can save the universe. But a message like that is hard to believe in a film so utterly lacking in conviction, it needs a 25-year-old Tom Cruise vehicle just to keep its spine straight. Peter Sarsgaard seems to be enjoying himself as a nerdy shut-in turned evil scientist, but Green Lantern otherwise goes through the motions, even when it has the chance to deploy any digital weapon its hero can imagine. In staging an interstellar battle of will vs. fear, all it can offer is a shrug.… Expand

I heard that it was a terrible movie, but I went ahead and watched it anyways. The movie was OK at the start, but then it just went downhill from there. The acting was kinda crap on certain areas, there was a slight overuse on CGI which made it look like the director was lazy and the story wasn't that interesting because I was left confused with certain parts of the movie.

I do not think that the person who directed this movie did any good with it seeing as they had to switch directors during the making of this movie. It honestly could have done with more finer tuning in a lot of areas if this were to become a great movie. If you are a DC fan and you did not watch the movie, I suggest you don't watch it. You are better off getting the Green Lantern video game than watching this piece of crap.… Expand

The plot is common (the hero masters his powers very quickly showing how great humans are), the characters follow the usual stereotypes (the man is irresponsible while the woman is perfectly balanced), the cgi are mediocre or worse (the planet of the Green Lanterns looks like a video game stage) and the action is not convincing (using a giant spring to throw a truck to the villain doesn’t look good). The villains are a huge evil cloud who drinks souls for breakfast and a potato-head who is depressed because daddy doesn't appreciate him. Lastly, there are many Green Lanterns in the universe but they are all useless except for the hero. At least the pacing is fast and the two protagonists, Reynolds and Lively, are pleasant to watch.

I would have never even considered watching it if I wasn't given it as a joke bithday present from my sister. It's the a silly film in its scenarios and action, but it's super serious with its kinda sucky story line and dialogue. Hal Jordan the main hero barely even goes to the Green Lantern society and when he does, his comrades complain about how 'young' his race is and how stupid he is. The effects and CGI for the most part are overdone and look cheap, but on occaisions, they look pretty good but not impressive by any stretch. Character building/developement is lacking and the relationship between the villian and hero doesn't really develop. The action of the film is silly and cheap, and the film ends quickly and puts a sudden end to the growing climax. The acting, on the otherhand, is okay, not impressive but good enough.

The Green Lantern is a surprisingly mediocre-ish silly/serious action film that does nothing more for the audience than kind of excite them a bit at the climax (that ends suddenly). So I give this film a... 51/100!… Expand

It was entertaining, on the whole, and I found it managed to keep me interested for a long time. I'd like to think myself as a DC geek, and I found myself impressed at how well they'd managed to keep to the original stories.
I think the critics are complaining primarily because it couldn't get anywhere close to the Dark Knight, which is a very hard act to follow for DC. Anyone remember Batman Begins? It was good, but nothing special, however it led on to one of the greatest films ever made, in most people's opinion. I think that if Warner Bros. wade through all of the bad reception and decide that they will continue on this, they will be able to produce a far better movie for the sequel. Ignore the critics. Rent it if you can and see what you think.… Expand

And I was right. From beginning to end Green Lantern is a special effects extravaganza and an entertaining origin story. I generally do not care for origin stories because being familiar with a superhero character means I already know the story and would rather see something new. With Green Lantern we really have the best of both worlds. The movie does not delay in placing the ring of power on the finger of Hal Jordan. From there we watch as Hal struggles to meet the burden placed upon him while the Earth is threatened by Parallax one of the Guardians of Oa that has turned evil.

There is good character development with Hal who is depicted as being a womanizing and brash pilot to a responsible superhero. The CGI is top notch and the depiction of Oa, the guardians and many of the other aliens that are a part of the intergalactic Green Lantern Corps rivals the special effects seen in the more recent Star Wars prequels. The relationship between Hal and Dr. Hector Hammond, who is infected with the yellow power of Parallax, could have been better fleshed out and brought to more depth. The same could be said with Hal's relationship with Carol Farris. There seems to be little justification for the affection between the two given the characterization of their earlier antagonism toward one another.

Parallax has a habit of easily defeating the other Green Lanterns in the Corps and after the Guardians of Oa refuse to help him, with the encouragement of Sinestro a future supervillian, Hal faces the Corps most notorious villain alone. I won't give away the ending and although origin stories can be predictable, as this one certainly is, the story is told in a manner which is exciting and entertaining. I am unabashedly a CGI junkie and this movie delivers on that account. Therefore combined with a story that is pretty riveting despite its predictability along with great eye candy The Green Lantern is a good introduction for this underdog and little known superhero.… Expand

"Captain America: The First Avenger" saw a true hero in Steve Rogers, giving as much attention to his human character as with his superhuman attributes. It was the goofy playfulness of "Thor" that made its overall silliness acceptable. "X-Men: First Class" was a prequel that founded itself on prior knowledge, instead of avoiding it. "Green Lantern" doesn't have a singular thing that could make it more than what we already expect. It fulfills the requisites of the superhero genre, then immediately stops trying.

Millions of years ago, long before the nuisance of 3-D, an assembly of aliens called the Guardians formed an intergalactic peace-keeping organization. Each member, called a Green Lantern, was assigned to protect one of the 3,600 sectors of the universe. We're not sure how many planets or galaxies each sector covers, but we trust the judgment of the Guardians. With the whole universe accounted for, the blue, big headed Guardians have decided to spend the rest of their immortal lives in a planet called Oa. This peace is interrupted when a colossal, evil force named Parallax figured that it would be real evil if he started to eat planets; Earth and Oa are on his menu.

Meanwhile, on Earth, our central human characters who coincidentally all have daddy issues, are introduced. Hal Jordan is a reckless test pilot whose actions on the job are always questioned by his authorities. When a severely injured Green Lantern crash lands on our planet, Hal is the one chosen by the Lantern's ring as his replacement. His duty later lands him in Oa, where he meets the Guardians. Plot details are discussed, obvious questions are asked, and shallow dilemmas are regarded with undeserved seriousness as a delay for the obligatory climactic confrontation, like taking 90 minutes to get to a destination 60 minutes away.

There are definitely things that needed toCritics were way to harsh on this one, but the only reason it was ripped apart by critics is because they compared it to X-Men First Class and Thor. This film is actually really hard for me to rate. There are definitely things that needed to be better in the plot and story, but I can't pinpoint what exactly needed to change. I think the main problem with the film is that it just didn't mesh together, especially the beginning. The story just didn't settle all the way is a good way to explain it. Also, the film didn't tap into emotion, which it really needed to, especially since it's a crucial idea to the character and story.

I liked that cast a lot more than I thought I would. I was hesitant about Ryan Reynolds, but he was great here and completely likable, as were Peter Saarsgard and Mark Strong. Blake Lively is also really nice (and hot).

The fighting was entertaining and the CGI was pretty good, definitely nothing special.

How could they do this to Green Lantern? They have a superhero who travels into space all the time and is practically Star Wars material. WHAT DO THEY DO?!?!?!?! MAKE A MEDIOCRE MOVIE OUT OF AN AWESOME CHARACTER!!!! .... What did you expect? For it to be good?

This movie is a so-bad-it's-good movie. I was hoping for a "Dark Knight in space" epic, but what we got was an over-produced, poorly written and terribly acted piece of $200 million dollars that went straight down the box office toilet. What a shame.

Now the guilty pleasures of this movie:

Well this is Green Lantern's motion-picture debut, just not a great one. Some of the scenes are entertaining but HEctor Hammond is so bloody annoying you want to staple his mouth shut for the rest of the movie. His screaming is unbelievably annoying. It's like listening to a podcast of a baby crying 24/7 and never stopping once. So pointless.

As for the plot, the whole thing is a mess and it messes with Green Lantern's mythological background quite a bit. Parallax was never an entity trapped in the ring. Instead he was a corrupted Guardian who wanted to use the power for himself.

Hell, if that wasn't enough, the imagination that Hal uses for the ring is just as limited as the writer's abilities to write awkward dialogue let alone stronger plot and character development.

Thankfully we got The Dark Knight Rises from Warner Brothers and DC Entertainment so we can forgive them for Green Lantern.… Expand

The scenery and CG were dazzling, and the musical score was spot on (still looking for the "Green Lantern" theme though). Much of the film seemed to skim over things, like characters and plot points, but I'm guessing that the filmmakers were expecting to make a sequel to follow-up on those. On the whole, the question really becomes "How do you make a movie about an intergalactic superhero/cop without turning the audience off with disbelief?"

Pretty good movie but it seemed short. I loved the dialog and action, but it just seemed to go by really quick and was surprised how fast the final battle happened.

Ryan Reynolds dons a green energy suit and defends Earth from outer space giant alien heads and a crazy scientist? Okay. Not perfect. But its fun all the same, and what superhero movie isn't?

It's not NEARLY as bad as most critics claim it to be. The action was quite good, but from a comic fan's perspective, there really wasn't that much of a focus on the world of the Green Lantern Corp.

This movie is corn-al-icious, and was painful to watch. It was easily one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Do not watch this, it is terrible, and you could probably AVP more.

Basically this is a movie about a guy who finds a ring and saves the world. That story dates back to like 1930 when comics first came out.

It's not that bad, but I can't say it's that good either. I mean, what did the people behind the movie expect people were going to think? It's another modern day guy who finds super powers and has to save the universe, probably the five hundredth time this has happened at this point in the DC Comics Universe. I did enjoy watching it, but it still should have been better. Rent it, but don't buy it.… Expand

Until this point, he'd been a great comedy actor with some crossovers into drama & action. The only movies of the comic-book inspired superhero genre worth seeing, in my opinion, are the revived Batman series of movies. Even those are getting a bit campy with Bale's overly-dramatic angry whisper-delivered dialogue. Hollywood needs new creative minds badly.… Expand

Hollywood have done it again!
This movie felt rushed from beginning to end. Plot wholes everywere and as a comic book nerd i felt raped after watching this movie. Did they even READ the comics? This is just as bad as AVP & AVP:R.

This movie had a BIG budget and where did all the money go? If you are a comic book fan and like marvel/dc movies i advice you NOT to spend money for this pile of shi*. Go and watch Captain America or even Ben Afflecks DareDevil.… Expand

On the contrary, the vast majority of its elements work on film. The effects are superb, and different enough from the mainstream to stand out. The actors are also good in the vast majority - Ryan Reynolds is effortlessly likeable as our titular hero, and Mark Strong is as good as he always is as the fantastically morally complex Sinestro. The action is also extremely well-handled, with director Martin Campbell proving himself to be just as competent at handling special effects-driven filmic spectacle as with the practicall (as he demonstrated in Goldeneye and Casino Royale). The film fails in main because of its exceedingly daft source material. The Green Lantern comics were stupid even by super hero standards, and it would be nigh-on impossible for even the most accomplished director to bring this universe to the big screen with a completely straight face. Luckily, Campbell doesn't take things too seriously, and this results in one of the film's most pleasing moments, when love interest Carol Ferris (Blake Lively) comments on the ridiculousness of people not guessing Green Lantern's identity simply because they "can't see his cheekbones". Even this self-awareness can't save the film as a whole - the ideas behind this stupid universe aren't consistent or fully developed, and visual creativity doesn't stop Green Lantern from being ridiculous. The acting talent of such masters as Tim Robbins is almost completely wasted, and his relationship with estranged son Hector Hammond (Peter Sarsgaard) is woefully under-developed. Despite these obvious failings, Green Lantern remains an entertaining diversion, and a decent, if fairly hollow super hero film. Perhaps if a sequel is made, this intriguing intergalactic cop can truly step into the light...… Expand

Some parts were just too long and drawn out. The movie fails to capture what a true green lantern movie should have been about. Just when the movie starts to get good, its already reached the end.
