Not exactly Dark Knight, but still great!
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 portrayal of Hal, although I still don't think Ryan Reynolds was the best choice, and there were some moments that made me mad, just thinking, "This is not Hal Jordan!" Altogether, it was a complete and VERY enjoyable movie.
CONS: I know this is a PG-13 movie, but the bad language is still a con for me, as a Christian, and it was really unnecessary. Also, I never think of Hal as a ladies' man at all, so this left a bad taste. We had Green Lantern acting a little too much like Johnny Storm. Other than these and some other suggestive moments, it wasn't especially dirty.
Overall, I really loved this movie, and I was actually sad when it ended. I just wanted it to keep going! I would absolutely recommend it to comic book fans and non-fans. Thank you DC!!
(By the way, make sure to stay through half the credits, there's a great scene at the end.)
