Green Lantern

I’m going to say something controversial. This isn’t as bad as people make out. It’s by no means great, but it’s a very middle of the road capeflick. There’s some fun action set-pieces here and Martin Campbell knows how to direct the hell out of them. The VFX hold up better than I recalled, although the skintight CGI suits are still a questionable decision. Ryan Reynolds actually is a pretty solid choice for Hal Jordan. And this is a time when he could remember how to act. It’s not a fantastic performance but it’s solid enough. Overall, this film gets too much slack. It’s not the best the genre has to offer but it’s far from being offensively bad. I have a soft spot for it, sue me.
