It's not a great film, but it's certainly not as bad as critics made it out to be. We get an origin story of the Green Lantern here, and a lot of information has to get crammed in - the Green Lantern corps and Hal Jordan. I'd equate this movie to the first X-Men movie, in which a lot had to be established and the story suffered somewhat. It is special effects heavy, but how could a movie about intergalactic cops NOT have a lot of CGI effects. I was a little worried about Ryan Reynolds in this role, but after viewing the movie I'm okay with it. I do hope Green Lantern gets another shot at the screen, the scene during the credits previews a potentially good sequel.
