Green Lantern Reviews
It is definitely going to need a strong detergent to get out the green grass stains from this drag of a start.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 14, 2024
The moments of adequacy point to a better super-Reynolds future.

Whenever this Lantern returns to terra firma (too often), its imaginative flights are ground down under the Warner overlords’ demographic-pandering heels.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 22, 2024
Overcoming a personal tragedy, defeating various villains, and discovering his powers with a trendy soundtrack to guide his way, Reynolds’ Hal Jordan is plain as can be, even offensive in an age where this genre has elevated itself with dynamic films...
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 29, 2023
Here's something green that I would not want to touch with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole. No, I'm not talking about Mr. Grinch. I'm talking about the Green Lantern.

Worth only watching now for seeing how to kill a superhero franchise from the very beginning.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 30, 2021
The filmmakers are under the impression that audiences will accept anything, as long as it's drenched in special effects.
| Original Score: 2/10 | Nov 30, 2020
Yet another film where the whole 3-D thing is a complete waste.
| Original Score: 2.0/4.0 | Sep 9, 2020
The more I think about it the more I dislike it.
| Original Score: C- | Aug 6, 2020
Enjoyable enough despite obvious shortcomings.
| Original Score: C+ | Jul 11, 2020
Among the many things that can be attributed to the movie signed by Campbell, not being entertaining is not one of them. [Full Review in Spanish]

Green Lantern's light faded for me, and was out completely by the time the final credits rolled.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 24, 2019
Green Lantern is as cheesy and has more plot holes and dangling story strings than a piece of 70's macrame.
| Jul 26, 2019
The film never rises above a screenplay that seems to be pulling in several directions, leaving the material battling with tone and consistency. The result is a lifeless attempt at a blockbuster that never quite gets out of the block.

All the prancing about on a galaxy far far away where Hal [Ryan Reynolds] meets the other Green Lanterns, and the wise ancients, and a gigantic gruff sergeant-type who learns him his ropes is all a bit of a bore.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 2, 2019
There are some fun moments in Green Lantern, and Reynolds and Sarsgaard...are truly worth watching. The movie, however, flickers between being fun and a mess.
| Original Score: B- | Feb 13, 2019
While he's not a compelling enough character or superhero to care about, as Green Lantern, [Ryan Reynolds is] believable in his solemnity, yet his comedic charm helps when dealing with the absurdity that comes with the premise.

With a cast like that, this superhero flick, like Hal Jordan himself, had real potential to rise above its provenance. But the dialogue is simply beyond cheesy.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jan 8, 2019
In brightest day, in blackest night...No cliche will escape my sight...I guess its really not that bad...But it certainly is loud and bright.
| Original Score: 6/10 | Nov 4, 2018
