Averagest day


Green Lantern (2011)

Based on the classic DC Comics character this film from director Martin Campbell stars Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively and Peter Sarsgaard. A test pilot is selected to become the first human member of an intergalactic defence force.

This film suffers from the key problem that it lacks emotional depth with a fairly weak origin story and characters that seem to be all token efforts. It seems like film makers think they can just put out a super hero film and that will be enough to get the audiences in. In the case of this film I would say it is fairly similar to John Carter (2012) in that it managed to scrape by as an average effort despite a script that seems to have had little thought put into it.

3/5
