Here is my Movie Review of Green Lantern 

So basically what happens You have how Jordan / Green Lantern and he is a test pilot but then a spaceship crashes on Earth and then he meets this Green Lantern who is dying so he gives them the ring and then he becomes Green Lantern so he travels to Oahu to train to become in Green Lantern. Then you'll have this guy named Dr Hector Hammond who wants to use Harness the power of fear to kill his father and then use it to kill how Jordan / Green Lantern and take over the world by Having parallax invade earth it's up to how Jordan / Green Lantern take down Dr Hector Hammond and save the world and that's basically what the story is for this film. No the storyline does have potential in a better Green Lantern movie but in here it's really bland it's not really memorable I'll say this is a lot more memorable of a storyline than the storyline in Madame Webb because the storyline not only was so bad and so terrible and not really interesting whatsoever

Now the acting in the film is really bad but to be honest I don't think it has as bad as the acting and madam web because the acting that movie is so terrible because none of the actors were giving good performances whatsoever well in this film there are some moments where the actors do give all right to it even decent performance and then hey always with some performances in this film you can't wait to laugh about how bad they are when you can't really laugh at any performance because The movie itself doesn't give the actors anything unintentionally funny to say.

Now let's talk about Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan / Green Lantern. Now a lot of people know him as Deadpool from the X-Men movie franchise. I have to say I don't think he does a good job in this movie because I feel like he's just playing himself It doesn't feel like he is playing a character. But that being said there are far worse superhero performances like George Clooney as Batman from Batman Robin that performance is a lot more unbearable to watch. Now a lot of people say that this is the worst superhero casting choice of all time I do sort of agree with that statement because i just feel like Ryan Reynolds is miss cast in the film because Green Lantern is supposed to be a serious character but that being said I don't think the performance is nearly as unwatchable or unbearable as Dakota Johnson's performance as Madame Webb from Madame Webb because that performance is so unbearable to watch because it feels like he was just there to get a simple paycheck well at least with Ryan Reynolds was trying to give a good performance. Also I think his origin story is pretty decent for the most part it is pretty accurate to the comics. The chemistry between him and Blake Lively, Geoffrey Rush, Peter Sarsgaard, Michael Clark Dunkin', and Mark Strong is pretty good for the most part. Fun fact actors like Justin Timberlake, Chris Pine, Bruce Campbell, Sam Worthington, Jared Leto, Bradley Cooper, Ryan Gosling, Channing Tatum, Common, Eddie Murphy, Henry Cavill, John Hamm, Josh Brolin, Ewan McGregor, Matthew McConaughey, Nathan Fillion, and Jack Black were all considered to play Green Lantern.

Now Blake Lively plays Hal Jordan / Green Lantern´s girlfriend Carol Ferris. In the film. I have to say well I don't think her performance is bad They'd have to be one of the most forgettable performances in the entire film because she is just there in the movie to be Hal Jordan / Green Lantern´s love interest and that's all she is there for she is just there to be the love of interest. But the character of Carol Ferris It's just really bland because at first she is supposed to be Hal Jordan's love interest but in the comics she turns bad and becomes the villain. But in this movie she stays good and that's not how the character works in the comics. The chemistry between her and Ryan Reynolds is okay.

 Now Geoffrey Rush voices Tomar-Ray In the film. I have to say he actually probably gives the best performance in the film Even in parts where this movie is not working he somehow still manages to be entertaining as the character. Now Tomar-Ray as a character is relatively the same as he was in the comics he is of Hal Jordan/Green Lantern ´ s mentor training him to harness the power of the Green Lantern ring. The scene where Tomar-Ray mentions to Hal Jordan / Green Lantern that in order to make the ring work he needs to find an inner willpower in order to Conjure up the constructs in order to use its power. It's probably one of the best moments of the entire film. The chemistry between him and Ryan Reynolds is decent.

  Michael Clarke Duncan voice Kilowog In the film. He also gives the best performance in the film. I have to say this is a big improvement over his performance as Kingpin in Daredevil 2003 because that one he just gave a really bad performance and that film well this film he actually gives entertain performance and the character. Now Kilowog as a character is relative with the same as he was in the comics he is much like Tomar-Ray He also is how Jordan / Greenland turns mentor in the film in the interaction that they have in the film do lead to some of the better moments of the film. The thing where he teaches how Jordan / Green Lantern how to fight is one of the memorable themes of the entire film. The chemistry between him and Ryan Reynolds is decent.

. 

Peter Sarsgaard plays Dr Hector Hammond In the film and his performance is Probably the most over-the-top performance in the entire film and well he doesn't do a good job as Dr Hector Hammond he definitely gives the most entertaining performance in the entire film because you get to tell that Peter Skarsgard is having a lot of fun as this character just hamming it up the entire time not taking any of it seriously. Now the character of Dr Hector Hammond is really bland but that being said I do think he's a lot more memorable than Ezekiel Sims from Madam web because that character was so irredeemable and one of the worst villains of all time. Well Dr Hector Hammond is a bland villain. But you do feel bad for him because his dad trained him like he was nothing his whole life So you can understand why he would want to kill his father. The thing where he uses his powers and he is like screaming a lot It comes off as one of the most unintentionally funny moments of the entire film because it's a moment you're supposed to take seriously But because of how over the top Peter Skarsgard is in the film It comes off as really funny rather than really intense.

Mark Strong plays Sinestro In the film. I have to say out of all the performances he is my favorite in this entire film because that you can tell that Mark strong with having a lot of fun as the character and it feels like he wanted to come back to play the character again because though the original supposed to be a sequel to this film but did the everyone hating this film the studio canceled in and Mark Strong was really disappointing because he really wanted to come back as the character. Now the character of Sinestro is probably the most comic accurate thing of this entire film because he starts out as how Jordan/Green Lanterns mentor but then he starts going down a dark path by bickering with the Guardians of the Universe question there authorities and then he turned against Hal Jordan / Green Lantern. But the problem is he he's not the main villain and to be honest if he want the man going to maybe the film would have been a lot better. The scene where Sinestro questions the Guardians of the Universe of how they are watching over the universe It's probably one of the best villains in one of the best moments of the entire film. The chemistry between him and Ryan Reynolds is decent.  Fun fact actor Arsenio Hall Was considered to play Sinestro.

The special effects for the most part I don't think they're as bad as a lot of people say they are because I do think the effects with the Green Lantern ring are pretty decent. The effects on Oath look pretty decent as well and also all the other Green Lanterns look pretty decent except for the Hot Wheels scene. I just think that scene is so stupid and so goofy. But I have to agree with everyone that the worst effect in this movie has to be the green lantern suit. I don't get why they made it out of CGI. I think what they should have done is have Ryan Reynolds wear the suit on set. The suit was so bad that Deadpool literally makes fun of it when Wade Wilson tells Ajax please don't make it super green or animated. 

The directing by Martin Campbell And not really good because he tried to make hal Jordan/Green Lantern into a comedic hero and it does not work because in the comics Green Lantern is supposed to be very serious he essentially a space cop because he doesn't crack any jokes but in this it feels like he was trying to make him like Paul Rudd's Ant-Man from the MCU but the only difference being that Ant-Man is allowed to be funny because he uses humor to relieve his stress. But with Green Lantern h shouldn't crack jokes at all. I will give Craig he does get a few things right For example he gets Green Lanterns origin right he gets Sinestro accurate to the comics because he starts out good and he begins to turn against Green Lantern and become bad. He got Dr Hector Hammond right in terms of bland because he is not really interesting in the comics. So overall I don't think he did a great job directing this movie at all.

So in conclusion i still don't like this film because it just so over the top and so silly and well I don't think it has that's bad as like Suicide Squad from 2016 because that movie is way more unwatchable than this film and to be on it does have redeeming qualities Peter Skarsgard as Dr. Hector Hammond is really funny and over the top. the special effects for the most part on Oahu are relatively decent. Mark Strong is the best part of this entire film as Sinestro because you can tell that he was having fun at the character and both Michael Clark Duncan and Jeffrey Rush do you give decent to entertaining performances at the characters but the storyline is really boring and not really interesting. Ryan Reynolds was so miscast as Green Lantern to be honest I think they should have gone with Jake Gyllenhaal he will probably give a much better performance to the character. So overall I say just skipped this film and go watch the Ant-Man movies with Paul Rudd they are a lot more funny and entertaining This is one of the worst superhero films of all time. I give this movie a 4/10.
