I actually skipped this movie when it was in the theaters because of the bad reviews. My mistake! I thoroughly enjoyed this movie on DVD and whish I... had gone to see it on the big screen. It was a fun superhero movie. Thank you Green Lantern! Full Review

I don't understand why the critics gave it a low rating. I thoroughly enjoyed it as did the majority of viewers. After all, It's a comic book come... o life, not a Shakespeare novel. Full Review

Its a buy the DVD movie for me. Conflict between \"fear\" and \"will\". Great theme, much deeper then meets the eye!

Green Lantern does not intend to be plausible. It intends to be a sound-and-light show, assaulting the audience with sensational special effects. If that's what you want, that's what you get.Full Review

An attempt to infuse an earnest piece of comicbook lore with an irreverent, tongue-in-cheek sensibility yields decidedly mixed results in Green Lantern.Full Review

Justin Chang
Variety

More science-fiction space opera than superhero epic, it works in fits and starts as its disparate parts go in and out of effectiveness, but the professionalism of the production make it watchable in a comic book kind of way.Full Review

Reynolds makes Hal a perfectly functional comic-book hero, but there's a big difference between functional and super.Full Review

It's neither amusing nor exciting enough to ensure a long-running franchise.Full Review
