Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

justicegamer Ok let's be honest.. the script was not the greatest.. but we can make an exception for just how well Ryan fits in with the character.. and gives you this overwhelming feeling of goofiness (in a good way) and the chemistry between the two lovers was just fine.. I mean there's a lot wrong with this movie.. but leaving the theater I was smiling and I left with a nice vibe..

Michael Ledo The movie starts with a CG background science fiction origins of Green Lantern. The power of the Green Lantern is given to those who do not know fear. Parallax is introduced as the evil force which is "fear." As a Green Lantern lays crashed he releases his Green Lantern ring (force) to someone who doesn't know the meaning of the word "fear." Clearly that is Hal Jordon (Ryan Reynolds) who thinks he is Tom Cruise in "Top Gun" as he defeats 2 High tech pilot-less air craft by using a maneuver from Ironman.The movie spends a lot of time building background and lays the foundation for a multiple sequels. This is mostly an introduction of the character.While the Green Lantern is flying around impressing his former gf, mad scientist and son of a senator, Hector Hammond (Peter Sarsgaard) has been experimenting by injecting himself with microbes, which happen to be alien, creating the super villain for our super hero. They spent a ton of money on special effects. The ring may never make a mistake, but the casting director did. They should have gone the extra expense to get some real box office stars. Ryan Reynolds didn't hack it.No sex, no nudity, and no F-bombs. Good for kids.

bensonmum2 Cocky test pilot Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds) is the first human recruited to join the Green Lantern Corps – a centuries old intergalactic police force. To the more experienced members of the force, Hal is unlikely to ever live-up to the standards of the Corps. Even Hal doubts he can measure up. Meanwhile, an evil being, known as Parallax, has escaped from an underground prison. The best and brightest of the Green Lanterns engage Parallax, but are ultimately defeated. As Parallax continues its deadly rampage across space, it's on a collision course with Earth. Without support from the rest of the Green Lanterns, Hal is left on his own to face an enemy too powerful for the rest of the Corps.I've never read any Green Lantern comics, so I'm not very familiar with the character, backstory, or anything else. Therefore, I'm not going to make comments on how faithful the film is or is not to the source material. Considering all the negative things I've read across the internet on Green Lantern, I was surprised to find I enjoyed the movie as much as I did. It's nowhere near as bad as I'd been led to believe. A few things that worked for me: the overall story arc, the handling of the Green Lantern Corps, the uber-creepy Dr Harry Hammonds, and some of the action sequences and death scenes. Speaking of death scenes, when Tim Robbins is burned to a crisp, it's one of the "best" moments in the whole film. I also really liked the way director Martin Campbell and the special effects people involved with the film chose to image the Green Lanterns' powers and bring them to the screen. Very creative. If some of the acting (Blake Lively displays the emotional range of a rock) and characters (Ryan Reynolds plays Hal like the biggest ass on the planet), Green Lantern might have been a much better overall film. Still, a 5/10 isn't all that bad for a movie that, going in, I thought was going to be hot garbage.Having watched Green Lantern after Ryan Reynolds made Deadpool, am I alone in looking at his portrayal of Hal as something like Deadpool- lite? It's like he used Green Lantern as a dry run of sorts for Deadpool. It's not as over-the-top, but there are similarities. However, with Deadpool, it's funny, but with Green Lantern, he looks like a d__k.

Volly-Ball (theflowervolcano) Now I see lots of hate for this movie and I can see why most of you guys do not like it. Nothing like the other big budget superhero films, this one of course didn't seem to do anything wrong not in my opinion. It was funny, inspiring and entertaining all I look for in a film. Hal Jordan seemed in character a little cocky, fun guy who learns to take some responsibility in his hands. Was his character perfect? No that of course is one of the reasons I loved him and was glad that they kept him mostly in character and Ryan's performance was really good. Carol Ferris was actually likable as usually I don't like her. The villains were good, nice to see them use parallax for a villain. He could've been better but keeping him from main focus was a nice touch. My few complaints were that I wish we got to see Green Lantern more like stopping bad guys such as thugs or bank robbers just for fun before moving to really big stuff. Though I get that he thought he wasn't worth being a green lantern. I think spending more time on his origin wasn't as fun to watch, which is why I was hoping for a sequel. Some characters could have been better other than that it was surprisingly good! My favorite parts are yes the suit I really liked it, nice touch to make it alien like. The visuals were pretty good. Plot was alright good enough for a superhero film. I have actually watched it three times now and don't get why so many people don't like it, it was really fun and had some nice emotional touches as in humans aren't perfect, but they are strong. Pretty good message for when I first watched it I was 11 and was expecting it to be trash when I re watched it. You can have your Batman and Avengers I'll sit here watching Green Lantern, and laughing. Really the jokes were quite good!
