Review of Green Lantern (2011) by James D — 09 Apr 2013

Here comes a(nother) superhero movie, but somehow it isn't fully successful at that. The humanity of Spider-Man, the alien aspect of Superman's power, and a mythological monster that could have come (somewhat) from Hellboy.

Somehow it failed at finding an original idea to make this superhero interesting, but mostly thanks to an experienced direction (by Martin Campbell) and some good effects it manages to entertain sufficiently the fans of superheros and sci-fi action flicks yet it remains light.
