Review of Green Lantern (2011) by Avj37 — 04 Jul 2011

Putting aside all of the wonderful superhero movies that came out this year. Green Lantern isn't actually that bad. I was expecting it to be worst, but I guess only Daredevil will only dare to go down that level.

I was really hoping that the movie was longer, so that we can see the development of the characters more. I believe that they really edited this baby. It feels as if the whole story was forced to us in 1 hour and 40 minutes. It would have been good if they focused on the childhood of Hal Jordan, before he became Green Lantern.

While it does have good visuals, it over saturates you to the point of its overwhelming to see all these images all at once.

The acting was okay, it wasn't as bad as I had imagined it, before I saw it. There really was no chemistry between Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. The supporting cast did a good job, Mark Strong and Peter Sarsgaard (But the screaming was too much to handle :p).

Over-all I think that if you give this movie a chance you might find something in it to like. It gives you good visuals and scenery of the different planets.

This movie doesn't really stack up to this years hit superhero movies. But it's not a bad movie.
