I was entertained by it and that's all I ask of a movie.

It was pretty bad, but not as bad as people insist.

The special effects ranged from bad to unbelievably awful. The story was stupid.

I thought Ryan Reynolds did an OK job with it and it was watchable.

Fun to watch but not a lot of depth. Been better to break it up into more movies and develop things more. Far too many movies have to change a bad personally into a good one in only an hour and a half. They did it better with Iron Man. They developed the story without making too many changes to his personality. People get wake up calls but it normally takes time to go from A to Z.

A lot of these hero adaptations have to find a way to work around the fact that the character is a one dimensional good guy with little depth in the source material. Green Lantern did the most obvious stock character arc that they all use and when you've seen the same generic character development pasted on to so many similar characters you really notice when it isn't done particularly well.

Iron man was okay but something about it was hard to relate to. I liked the part where ryan reynolds goes to meet his girlfriend and he's wearing that little eyemask and she's like 'hal'? and he responds, 'you recognize me? isn't this cool!?" lol.

It was a terrible film.

Planet Fury posted:
Films like The Green Lantern are really pornography for humanity's ego; frankly, if aliens ever do land on Earth, we would do well to push movies such as this underneath the proverbial mattress. It's an insipid and stupid idea - "We win because we're human! We're the best!" Not that anyone is really listening - but is this really the idea we want to broadcast across the universe? Imagine how embarrassed we'd be if someone from Planet X managed to tune into HBO as The Green Lantern hits cable.

Green Lantern was my favorite super hero growing up.

But to say it was better than the latest Batman movie?
