Let those who worship evil’s might, Beware my power Green Lantern's Light!
An inspiring oath from a not so inspiring movie. The movie was not bad but it was not great either. An above average movie from an average script, average acting and great special effects. Mark Strong's acting is wasted behind the make-up of Sinestro. Ryan Reynolds was basically playing the same character he has played in every single movie, only this time in a Green Lantern outfit. Blake Lively on the other hand was horrible, a definite miscast on the part of the casting director.
Don't get me wrong, I always taught Ryan Reynolds would have been perfect for the part of Hal Jordan as the character was always quirky and funny, two characteristics that Ryan Reynolds can pull off very well. At the end of the day it comes down to the script and mediocre dialogue. The banter that goes on between Hal Jordan and Carol Ferris is neither funny nor smart. It seems as though the two shared no chemistry whatsoever. Even Natalie Portman and Chris Hemsworth in Thor had more chemistry than these two.
It's sad to see yet another superhero movie suffer the same fate of some other superhero movies. Even spectacular graphics and effects will not disguise a movie from its boring script and average acting. It's a sad sad day for the comic book world, especially DC and Green Lantern fans such as myself :(
I give a 6 out of 10 for this movie (only because the movie had some good moments).
