Green Lantern Review
Jun 17th
Green Lantern needed to be a lot more space focused, with a lot more action scenes, and way less romance on earth moments. I’ll tell you what though, even though I expected more from this movie than what I saw, I did not come out of it thinking it was a horrible movie. It had some really long drawn out scenes between Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, but I still liked watching their characters. The CGI was not amazing, but the creative powers of the Green Lantern ring was shown in its full affect. The main villain was not that menacing to be honest, but at least there was a back story to him. Green Lantern had a lot of flaws, but for a summer movie about a comic book character first written in the 1950′s, it was not the worst thing you could of seen, could of been better though. More space battles darn it!
