  This film is like the sneeze that doesn't happen. It uncomfortably promises glorious release which never comes.

  And afterwards you realize you looked incredibly stupid during the whole affair.

  If I had a ring that was powered by disappointment I'd be pretty dangerous right now.

  Peter Sarsgaard with a giant testicle growing out of his forehead is my spirit animal.

  Honestly, in retrospect, probably one of the stronger Ryan Reynolds movies.

  Everybody makes fun of how he's weak against the color yellow but much funnier in my view is that the bad guy in this looks like a Cthulhu monster made out of cat hairballs. But whatever the point isn't that this is dorky, it's that it doesn't lean in to the dorky stuff enough. It doesn't help matters that this was clearly cut to shreds in the attempt to make it seem cool.

  When it comes to superhero films, you’ve got the underrated ones like: The First Avenger, GOTG2, TDK Rises, Batman Returns, and even Age of Ultron. On the other hand, you got the overrated ones like: Far From Home, Ragnarok, The Snyder Cut, and yes, even The Dark Knight. In addition, there are the overhated ones too, like: Ang Lee’s Hulk, the mcu’s The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, and even Thor: The Dark fucking World

  But Green Lantern is legitimately THAT bad. It DESERVES all the criticisms it’s been receiving. This film is the bane of my existence. I want to punish myself for even allowing the thought of acknowledging it slip through my mind. I seriously wanna know whoever the writers’…

  Here it is, the film that Warner Bros wanted to kickstart the DCEU, but instead became one of the biggest jokes in DC history that nobody respects, not Ryan Reynolds, not DC, even Teen Titans Go! doesn’t respect it, and that say a lot. 

  This is one of the text book definitions of a cash grab, devoid of any creativity or originality, a fruitless attempt at a franchise, an adaptation of such a beloved character that failed on almost every conceivable level, and doesn’t even get that stamp of so bad it’s good as that implies that there’s stuff to talk about. 

  Hal Jordan becomes one of the most blandest protagonist of any superhero movie, to the point that he…

  I know it’s fun to hate on this movie, but I’ll go out and say this isn’t as bad as everyone says it is.

  Maybe the Marvel fatigue has clouded my judgment, but in retrospect, it really is nice to see a classic superhero origin story with (for its time) good visual effects, a charismatic lead performance (we do not appreciate how solid of a casting Ryan Reynolds was as Hal Jordan), and really cool casting for the primary antagonist (Peter Sarsgaard is a fucking legend and he makes a bad role something pretty interesting).

  Overall, this isn’t shit. It’s a very hollow and mindlessly entertaining B-movie that actually has something fun to offer its audience.

  I thought y'all were being overdramatic, but wow, this was not great.

  Review by Scott Anderson ★ 15

  How can you make a film like this, see the finished product and feel proud of it? Is that possible, or do you think even those involved in Green Lantern were embarrassed when they witnessed what all of their hard work created?

  For three years now I have heard countless people complain about Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan/Green Lantern. After finally seeing this film, I don't understand why so much hatred is aimed towards him. Does he deserve any awards for his performance? Absolutely not. Was he the worst aspect of this extremely poor film? Not even close.

  Literally any actor on the planet could have been cast as the lead in this film and it still would have been…
