Ok let's be honest.. the script was not the greatest.. but we can make an exception for just how well Ryan fits in with the character.. and gives you this overwhelming feeling of goofiness (in a good way) and the chemistry between the two lovers was just fine.. I mean there's a lot wrong with this movie.. but leaving the theater I was smiling and I left with a nice vibe..

The story is passable, after you get passed the Top Gun similarities at the beginning...The CGI is rather good, I thought, even if it felt understated at times. The acting, unfortunately, was average to poor, with some really useless dialog that belongs in a comic book, but not in a movie. I just did not feel the vibe, like we are supposed to, when we are presented what is essentially an action/super hero movie...it just was too subdued throughout much of it...But!! It is a pretty entertaining movie...and that is what any movie is created for...

This movie isn't the worst superhero movie. The CGI is the same as any other movie, the roles are fine, but it has Parallax. This would have been fine with just Hector and Sinestro, but it through in Parallax, kind of like Spider Man 3. Sure, some things are stupid, and I'm not a DC fanboy or Marvel hater, but I don't think this is the worse. Its not good, I just think its just a run of the mill superhero movie.

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.
