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

The green aesthetic misfires: the whole film looks as if it's been inspired by a particular shade of washing-up liquid, or the glowing screens of ancient computers. Aug 11, 2011 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

A certain tone is needed to carry off the script's manifold absurdities. It has to be tongue-in-cheek rather than foot-in-mouth and Reynolds' success rate is intermittent at best. Aug 10, 2011 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

Apart from having no particular reason to exist onscreen, especially at these prices, it's not half bad. Jun 20, 2011 | Full Review…

The result makes the movie seem assembled from bits and pieces of other superhero yarns rather than existing on a plane of its own. Jun 17, 2011 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Green Lantern is as cheesy and has more plot holes and dangling story strings than a piece of 70's macrame. Jul 26, 2019 | Full Review…

The film never rises above a screenplay that seems to be pulling in several directions, leaving the material battling with tone and consistency. The result is a lifeless attempt at a blockbuster that never quite gets out of the block. May 7, 2019 | Full Review…

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. Apr 2, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

There are some fun moments in Green Lantern, and Reynolds and Sarsgaard...are truly worth watching. The movie, however, flickers between being fun and a mess. Feb 12, 2019 | Rating: B- | Full Review…

While he's not a compelling enough character or superhero to care about, as Green Lantern, [Ryan Reynolds is] believable in his solemnity, yet his comedic charm helps when dealing with the absurdity that comes with the premise. Jan 28, 2019 | Full Review…
