Green Lantern Audience Reviews

Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Tacticalin An absolute waste of money
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
lawrenceconwayvulcan SORRY RYAN BUT I ENJOY THIS FILM!This is film that has taken a bit of a knocking down the years, even from it's own star making quips in the Deadpool films. But for me it is a great film to kick back and watch. Ryan Reynolds is Hal Jordan the test pilot who comes into possesion of a ring that inducts him into the Green Lantern Corps, an Intergalatic Police Force. Hal must come through a gruelling training process in order to face the evil entity known as Parrallax. Green Lantern features some of most exotic alien worlds ever to hit the screen. Reynolds makes for a great Jordan in particuar the films cilmax where in one moment where Parrallax tries to bait Hal who in response recites the Green Lantern oath which will send a shiver down your back. with a supporting cast that includes Mark Strong, Blake Lively, Peter Saarsgard, Tim Robbins and Angela Bassett with voice work by Geoffrey Rush and Michael Clarke Duncan Green Lantern is a blast to watch.
cricketbat Aside from the really cool visual effects, Green Lantern is kind of a mess. It jams as many characters, plot points and background stories into the movie as it can, but it's still pretty boring. I found myself checking the clock multiple times while watching it. It's confusing, it's cliched and it's cheesy, but it still has some entertainment value.
Michael Ledo The movie starts with a CG background science fiction origins of Green Lantern. The power of the Green Lantern is given to those who do not know fear. Parallax is introduced as the evil force which is "fear." As a Green Lantern lays crashed he releases his Green Lantern ring (force) to someone who doesn't know the meaning of the word "fear." Clearly that is Hal Jordon (Ryan Reynolds) who thinks he is Tom Cruise in "Top Gun" as he defeats 2 High tech pilot-less air craft by using a maneuver from Ironman.The movie spends a lot of time building background and lays the foundation for a multiple sequels. This is mostly an introduction of the character.While the Green Lantern is flying around impressing his former gf, mad scientist and son of a senator, Hector Hammond (Peter Sarsgaard) has been experimenting by injecting himself with microbes, which happen to be alien, creating the super villain for our super hero. They spent a ton of money on special effects. The ring may never make a mistake, but the casting director did. They should have gone the extra expense to get some real box office stars. Ryan Reynolds didn't hack it.No sex, no nudity, and no F-bombs. Good for kids.
Uriah43 After witnessing the death of his father in an aircraft accident "Hal Jordan" (Ryan Reynolds) grows up trying to be as fearless as he presumes his father was. This leads him to test his limits and accept risks that most normal people would not attempt. Then one day an alien from another galaxy crashes his spaceship and upon realizing that he his death is imminent allows the essence within a powerful ring in his possession to seek out a worthy recipient who has the courage to face his fears. Needless to say, the essence immediately finds Hal and brings him to the alien who proceeds to give him the ring and some final last words before dying. And so begins the life and adventure of another member of the Green Lantern Corps. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this could have been an excellent superhero film if it had a more serious or coherent plot. Unfortunately, the director "Martin Campbell" apparently couldn't focus on what kind of movie he wanted and the result was one which had some rather bad CGI along with some heroes and villains who belonged more to a children's matinée than a prime-time movie. In other words, it lacked the necessary intensity. Yet despite some of the negatives, it wasn't necessarily a total disaster as it still remained fairly interesting and for that reason I have rated it accordingly. Average.
