I'll preface this with: I have lower standards on movies than most. Entertained = good.
I don't think Green Lantern is as bad as most people say it is. To be fair, I'm not an expert on the canon or the history, but I was entertained. I love Ryan Reynolds and enjoy almost anything he is in. Sexy + snarky = awesome. Back to the movie, I thought the effects were true to what I've seen in the comics and cartoons of GL that I've seen. I thought the aliens were cool, and varied. I thought that the display of the Green power was cheesy, just like in the comics. I'm not sure how much the story line has been changed, but I thought it was decent. Though why the Lanterns didn't just throw the bad guy into a sun the first time dose beg to be questioned.
rating: B
