Counter to the review by Tony 'G-Man' Guerrero 2
Having read the review posted by Tony 'G-Man' Guerrero, and having seen the movie myself, I must respectfully disagree with his view on the topic. I do believe that Green Lantern will be one of the movies to beat this summer. I went into this move with my doubts, and my expectations were not so high. But lets start with my history with this character. Green Lantern was the very first comic book I've read, and since then I've always been hooked, so for me the expectations of what I wanted...

The Strange things About Green Lantern 0
Although it sounds weird I think the perfect examination of the Green Lantern film was that it was too long But too short, (I said it sounds weird). It seems the film is stretched out a lot yet when it comes to the important parts (e.g. the ending) it was rushed. Hal Jordan spent longer fighting Hector Hammond than he did fighting Parallax. I also felt that Ryan Reynolds was not best suited to the role he was given, I am a big fan of Reynolds and he looked cool in the costume, but ...

Not exactly Dark Knight, but still great! 0
OK, I just got back from Green Lantern, and want to review it before I forget anything. This is not the best movie done by DC, but it's in the top two or three (who can beat The Dark Knight?). So, to break it down... PROS: This movie really introduced the non-comic-book-fan to Hal Jordan, the Guardians, the Corps, Sinestro, and the the Yellow Light. I enjoyed seeing all the villains tied together by the Yellow Light; they weren't just completely separate entities. I mostly enjoyed the port...

Not the brightest, but not the darkest.... 0
This weekend, me along with my Dad and bro pulled a double feature at the local mall theater and catch “Cars 2” and then “Green Lantern” and we both greatly enjoyed the 2 movies. The Green Lantern movie started out a rocky take off, but it then it took off as a great experience, with some slight turbulence. One thing I noticed in the film that it is very fast pace, with very little to no going too deep with the characters, and sometimes having to fly with little to no explanations (leaving to ...

Light of Hope 0
I finally got to see Green Lantern despite bad reviews for it having flaws here and there, it was a decent film Let's face it, no movie is perfect, and I don't expect any film to be perfect on every area and where Green Lantern excels in, it shows. I was happy to see a new DC character to join Superman and Batman on the big screen. Marvel is in the lead, but not all of them have been great films. Ryan Reynolds did a good job and I could tell he cared about this role and was given m...

So yea.... ummm...... yea..... 0
Hi everyone!!!!!! Man it's been ages since I've written a review. Feeling a little ashamed of myself! I'm slacking!!! So to start back up we will start with: GREEN LANTERN!!....... Yea... Where to begin? First allow me to state now, I have NO real knowledge about anything Hal Jordan aka Green Lantern. I know very tiny bits and absolutely no pieces! But hey when you hear that Ryan Reynolds is on board, you tend to get a little giddy, then a little light headed from all the giddness, then you pro...

Green Lantern vs The Gray Power of Critic Rage 2
Green Lantern Review (Take II): Internet critics can be harsh. But they can also be rather wrong. This is one of the rare cases in which I have to say: all the super-negative reviews I read about this movie were dead-on mistaken. Not only Green Lantern is one of the best superhero movies around, it's far more ambitious than it looks. Green Lantern was released in the United States a while ago, and even though I read some reviews (all of them negative) I still went to see it in the opening day w...

Green Lantern movie review 1
Ok to start off this review I want to say, I have been a huge Green Lantern fan for years. I always wanted a Green Lantern movie, when I heard they were making this movie I was very excited. Then the news came that Ryan Reynolds would be portraying Hal Jordan, intercalactic cop of space sector of 2814. This movie was pretty bad, I really dont like this movie at all. The Good: There really isnt to much great about this film) 1: Mark Strong as Sinestro 2: The effects on Oa 3. The ending credits...

I'm a little suprised !!! 0
I go to watch the movie with a friend. In my country (Bulgaria) there was 3D production in September. When i saw the film and the 3D effects i was all like "cool aliens, not so good 3D effects in action scenes, some good momments and a terrible Hal Jordan". Green Lanterns and the Guardians we're awesome. Paralax wasn't really good.One of all the bad things in my opinion is that the most of the film were Earth scenes and not so much Green Lantern Corps scenes or space scenes. When i think it now ...

Esta linterna no brilla tan fuerte 0
Green Lantern nos trae la historia de Hal Jordan, un piloto que se convierte en el sucesor del extraterrestre Abin Sur en The Green Lantern Corp. Que en otras palabras son los policías intergaláctica. En eso el tiene que aprender a como lidear con sus temores para poder vencer a una criatura que se alimenta del miedo.Este es uno de los personajes más reconocidos de la compañía DC comics y esta es su primera película. Siendo dirigida por Martin Campbell (Casino Royale, Goldeneye) pensé que iba a ...

Not as Bad as its rep says it is 0
After all the negative reviews, and the poor showing at the box office, I am happy to say my interest had not waned for this movie.Granted I was leading the chorus in the Choir of Nathan Fillion as Hal Jordan, but over all I could not get past the wonderful scenes of OA in the previews.To tell the truth, those scenes on the home planet of the Green Lantern Corps are amazing. They are cool to look at and you end up wanting to see the members of the corps highlighted and given more screen time.Unf...

From Brightest Day, to Blackiest Night? 2
With Thor being all powerfully awesome and the X-Men made their big come back Green Lantern ,which is why the newest entry in DC Comics’ long lineage of films doesn’t help them out in any way.Throughout the universe exists a galactic police force known as the Green Lantern Corps. With the use of their power rings, which grants its chosen wearer the ability to create anything their mind imagines, they patrol the 3600 individual sectors of the universe. When the cosmic entity known as Parallax is ...

Much Better Than I Expected 0
Of all the DC heroes, Green Lantern has to be the hardest to adapt to film, just given the whole idea of introducing the concept of a Green Lantern Corps, the background of Hal Jordan and everything it's just a lot to tackle in a 2 hour movie. Don't believe me? Try to explain who Green Lantern is and what his powers are to someone who's never heard of him. Add to that the fact that even in the comics his powers have been at times - ill defined (do his constructs have the properties of the things...

Good Film, but slightly dissappointing 0
A cocky test pilot, Hal Jordan, acquires superhuman powers when he is chosen by "the Ring", the willpower-fed source of power, of the Green Lantern Intergalactic Corps. He, reluctantly at first, takes on the challenges these superheroes face. Putting his self-doubts aside, and spurred on by his sense of duty and love for his beautiful, intellectually equal, colleague, Carol Ferris, he is soon called to defend mankind from Parallax, a super-powerful being who feeds on fear. He is the universe's ...

I Wish This Evil Would Escape My Sight. 1
You know, I am a huge fan of the Green Lantern Corp. and when I saw the trailer for this film I was even more excited. I loved the idea of Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan, Blake Lively as Carol is also perfect. The casting was amazing, but sadly the film was far from. They throw Sinestro Corp. in the movie last minute without explanation and Carol was too under developed. This is a movie I really wanted to like, but the bad just out weighed the good and it turned out to be a mess. The cast did a fa...

Green Lantern ( 2011 ) my opinion 3
General infoI have watched this movie for the first time in 2011, but not in a theatre. I was 12, and i did not really care about things that i wasn't REALLY interested in. So i asked for it for Christmas, as one of my many presents. I watched it the next night, and i really disliked it. And i haven't watched it again up until three days ago. Before that, even when Hal has became my favourite character a year earlier i haven't watched that movie because i was still left with a bad taste after wa...

The emerald warrior wasn't too impressive here. 0
Millions of years ago a race of immortals whom safeguard the universe called the Guardians of the Universe, founded a group of intergalactic policemen called the Green Lantern Corps., whose job is to protect various sectors of the universe. The Green Lanterns are armed with cosmic-powered rings that are only as strong as the bearer's will. One of their number Abin Sur (Temuera Morrison) neutralized a threat years ago named the Parallax. The being returns once again for revenge. Abin Sur is kille...

Good 0
The Green Lantern film had fantastic actors and an interesting plot, but as a big Green Lantern fan myself, the movie lacked the amazing story and action you would expect from a character who has such dynamic adventures. Nevertheless, it was a decent film overall....

Pour the Garbage on the Right Film! 0
To be blunt, the people who hate on this film must be perfectionists.Though Green Lantern isn't The Dark Knight, it sure as Rao isn't Howard the Duck. What I saw was a typical superhero films with some good quotes and minor missed opportunities. What we fans need to accept is that Hollywood is not going to be comic book purists. If I were given the keys to make any superhero film ever (if I WERE, I would adapt the fan film Grayson), would I get my pants in a knot about Batman elements (despite b...
