Not bad, not good, just mildly average

I like superhero movies as much as the next person, having grown up on the likes of Superman and Batman. Green Lantern is not the worst superhero movie, but far from the best either. For me it was just a mildly average and somewhat bland movie, that didn't live up to the potential it had.

Getting the good things out of the way, I did like the cinematography, settings and costumes very much, and while they weren't among the best or most detailed I've seen the effects were better than average apart from Parralex. The score/soundtrack by James Newton Howard compliments the film very nicely, Martin Campbell's direction is assured and there are classy turns from Mark Strong, Tim Robbins and Peter Sarsgaard.

On the other hand, Ryan Reynolds didn't quite work for me. Now don't get me wrong, I initially found him an ideal choice in the title role. The problem is not that Reynolds is bad, actually he is quite spirited in the role, it's just that the character himself like a lot of the characters in the movie is irritatingly bland. Blake Lively is cute and lovely, but her performance goes little beyond that. The story starts off well with an intriguing idea, being an origin story and all, but is bogged down by too many characters, tedious pacing and too thin a story for such a running time consequently some scenes seemed as though they were going on longer than they should've done. However though, these problems are pretty trivial compared to the script, which to put it kindly was an awkward, cliché-driven mess.

Overall, neither good or bad, but very average and bland. 5/10 Bethany Cox

The worst of the recent superhero films?

I'm no superhero fan to begin with; I find this genre is too samey and I tend to go into each film with the same "seen one, seen 'em all" feeling. But it's fair to say that GREEN LANTERN is a particularly disappointing example of the genre, a film which seems dwarfed by endless CGI space and action scenes which go on forever and a plot which is just a cookie cutter copy of other, better sci-fi movies.

Everyone's favourite wooden lead, Ryan Reynolds, is on particularly poor form as everyman Hal Jordan, a guy who unwittingly becomes the saviour of the universe. God, this guy is just so boring, you know? Square-jawed, flag-waving, the sort of character that Americans seem to dig but the rest of the world hates...except in this case, the film was a massive flop, so I guess our US cousins weren't buying it, either.

I certainly wasn't. GREEN LANTERN bored me throughout, and even a few dependable character actors (like Mark Strong) aren't enough to give it any power or impact. The CGI is disappointing too, leaving this a monstrous monstrosity, a 'nothing' film which I'd forgotten about mere seconds after it finished.

Not as bad as Critics say

There are some good and some bad. The CGI is too dark (lighting wise),and the green makes it look too fake cartoon-like. It's watchable, but it doesn't inspire. The Green Lantern manifestations make the action rather random. I could tell they spent lots of money on the CGI. I'm just not certain it was the most compelling creations. Parallax also look very much like a cartoon instead of something menacing.

Ryan Reynolds is a good actor. He's making Hal Jordan a jester. It's in Reynolds' DNA, and I don't think he could stop anyways. Blake Lively is not my favorite actress. She does slightly better than I expected. Basically she does a girlfriend role without much heat. Peter Sarsgaard is also functional as the weaselly Hector Hammond. I can certainly see others who could do the villain role much better.

There may be too much going on for a single movie. But it could still be followed quite easily. I'm just not sure if all the elements are given enough attention. I do like the theme of fear, and the will to overcome those fears. It's a little ham-fisted, but it still works. Overall, it's an average superhero movie with some minor flaws.
