REVIEW: 'GREEN LANTERN'

As a comic book fan, I had big expectations from 'Green Lantern' seeing as it was directed by Martin Campbell who directed one of my huge favorites 'Casino Royale'. Unfortunately it seems as though no one in production had any imagination or thought of how this movie should be. The acting was flat and dull, mainly on Blake Lively's part, and Ryan Reynolds showed nothing special. This leads me to where I believe this movie failed, the script. Every other minute we got corny jokes from Ryan or just plain boring lines which dragged the film and kept me thinking when the movie was going end. The story tries hard to follow the comics and it does well, just not well enough. I have to give credit to the FX department though, they really did a great job on delivering eye-candy galore, action set pieces. If you're going to see the movie because you're a die-hard fan, then go see it with the LOWEST expectations, otherwise you'll be wanting you're money back within the first 30 minutes. Talking about money, save it by watching this in 2D, you'll appreciate the FX more. Also, there is a scene in the credits if you're curious.

I give 'Green Lantern' a rating of: 1.5/5
