Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
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.
DCfan As I have mentioned at the top I honestly don't understand the hate for this. Personally, this is one of my favorite DC live movies of all time.I have to admit as well Green Lantern is my favourite member of the whole Justice League.
When this movie was released I had no interest in DC but in 2015 I actually sat down and watched the whole and I liked it.The movie had good effects, story, acting, and costume for the lanterns. I actually liked Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern considering he was very cocky but he is better as Deadpool at least. I also liked the woman who was Carol Ferris in the movie, Temura Morris who was Abin Sur he also played Boba, Cody, the clones and Jango in star wars and he will be Aquaman's dad in the Aquaman movie. Also Mark Strong did a good Sinestro it is a real shame this movie never got a sequel because I would have been interested to see how he would have handled the evil side of Sinestro. I also think Clancy Brown did good voice work as Parallax, the whole fight with him was the best part. Overall it was an awesome movie don't listen to the hate if you are a green lantern fan then you might like this. I just hope DCEU find a better Green Lantern for The Green Lantern Corps 2020 and Justice league 2 movies.
Mihai Toma Hal is chosen by an alien ring to become the first human Green Lantern, a member of an universal alliance of protectors. Being an irresponsible test pilot, he must overcome his weaknesses and learn to control his new powers because a deadly force is threatening the universe once again. It has a fair plot accompanied by a great soundtrack and a good actor (Ryan Reynolds). It isn't the most convincing story, I admit, but it's good enough. After all, it is a superhero movie. You're watching it for its action and for its characters most of all (although a great story could make it very good). Unfortunately, I was utterly disappointed by the ending. It's so childish, so simple that only a ten year old could have thought of it. It doesn't deserve the rating I gave it but it had such great action and looked so "awesome" that I couldn't resist. It's a shame though, it could have been an superb movie if it had a better plot and a final battle which wasn't completely stupid.
