Before reviewing Green Lantern I would like to give reminders of DC movies and as a major comic book fan it is also important. Let's begin with Superman (I,II and Returns) was very well done, and by well done we're talking about characters portrayed well, story reflecting the comic and importantly bringing the comic book to life. Christopher Nolan's Batman did exactly that also and perfected it. Green Lantern however missed the spot on character, Ryan Reynolds was picked for Hal Jordan specifically for being one sarcastic person which is how Hal Jordan is suppose to be but in the movie sadly Hal was not that, in fact Hal was also pretty...scared..and we all know Hal Jordan is the ultimate fearless person or able to over-come it, which is kinda what happens at the end of the movie, you can say that Hal was only learning on how to be a true Green Lantern then at the end learnt how they are suppose to be. Hal Jordan lacked his playboy, womanizing, recklessness and ego in the movie which is pretty difficult to tolerate but Ryan in the end did well and hopefully should continue as Hal Jordan. Other then character placement, things are in order but the ending was quite out of arc, the only problem this movie will be facing is, it's a little draggy, not very exciting enough, lacks the action, doesn't focus a lot on the space part which is what sci-fi and comic fans are looking for so you could be a little disappointed. Also, the movie barely shows kickass action of the Green Lantern Corps which is what every fan or audience is looking for but keep in mind this is the 1st movie of a series so we could be getting a better movie and as mentioned earlier, Hal Jordan was learning to become a Green Lantern only to perfect it so have some hope, a good movie was delivered.
