Review of Green Lantern (2011) by Allystew — 16 Jun 2011

I actually really enjoyed Green Lantern and I might have to put that down to that I love comic book movies or the surprise of liking it even after reading bad reviews. I had no knowledge of Green Lantern history going in so maybe it helped coming in fresh. I was really impressed by the 3D and SFX. The fact that the lanterns can create anything just by thinking about it is so kick arse cool. Hal Jordan (a surprisingly good Ryan Reynolds) is likeable and I stuck with him.

Now thats not to say that there are not bad points. Its all so predictable and the two enimies are really cheesy. To even think that this came from the same studio that gave us the truely epic Batman movies that are so in a different league. Think taking a Ferrari (Dark Knight) out for a spin on a racetrack and then a Lada (Green Lantern). The Ferrari you will always remember but hairing around in a Lada would be fun when it lasted. If you just want a good popcorn Friday night and some light hearted fun this is worth seeing.
