Sworn to preserve intergalactic order, the Green Lantern Corps has existed for centuries. Its newest recruit, Hal Jordan, is the first human to join the ranks. The Green Lanterns have little regard for humans, who have thus far been unable to harness the powers of the ring each member wears. But Jordan, a gifted and cocky test pilot, may be the corps' only hope when a new enemy called Parallax threatens the universal balance of power.

Critics Consensus

Noisy, overproduced, and thinly written, Green Lantern squanders an impressive budget and decades of comics mythology.

2/5

Whenever this Lantern returns to terra firma (too often), its imaginative flights are ground down under the Warner overlords’ demographic-pandering heels.

2.5/5

All the prancing about on a galaxy far far away where Hal [Ryan Reynolds] meets the other Green Lanterns, and the wise ancients, and a gigantic gruff sergeant-type who learns him his ropes is all a bit of a bore.

It is definitely going to need a strong detergent to get out the green grass stains from this drag of a start.

1.5/4

Overcoming a personal tragedy, defeating various villains, and discovering his powers with a trendy soundtrack to guide his way, Reynolds’ Hal Jordan is plain as can be, even offensive in an age where this genre has elevated itself with dynamic films...

After watching "Lanterns" and having no real history of knowing much about the Green Lantern I was excited to watch this movie. Additionally, Martin Campbell is a great Director. I was disappointed but this one. It just takes too long to get started. Ryan Reynolds is not appealing in the lead role. The special effects miss the mark. Maybe Lanterns set my expectations too high.

I honestly found this pretty underwhelming. The Green Lantern concept should be much more exciting, but the movie often feels silly and childish instead. The CGI suit looks funny rather than cool, and the story never gives the character enough weight. Ryan Reynolds has some entertaining moments, but they aren’t enough to carry the whole thing. Not terrible, just not very good overall.

As time passes this film gets better and my appreciation of what they achieved is very comparable to the garbage we get today. I enjoyed in the cinema but didn’t connect as much as I do today. It think people have been too hard on it. It’s not perfect but it’s enjoyable and had legs.
