Fuck it I liked the depiction of the suits, yeah it's CGI but it's supposed to be made up of light and I liked that it went and sort of made muscles with the way it was designed, also mark strong is perfect as sinestro
Onother cgi suit enjoyer! Honestly I never thought the CGI lantern suits looked bad at all. Add it to the pile of DC film Critiques that don't make sense to me.
Genuine comment here lol, but I actually liked this Green Lantern movie a lot, when it came out. Prior to that I watched Justice League on TV, the cartooned 5 season series a couple of good times so I had a rough idea of who the Green Lanterns were.
I respect the fact that the movie wasn't afraid to spend a lot of time offworld. I could be remembering wrong as I haven't seen it in years, but I remember signficantly more of this film being offworld than the first Thor for example.
Everything was there but the writing. The effects, the casting, and the scenery were spot-on it's just that the poor writing destroyed whatever it could have been.
The fact that this might get us some Green Lantern stuff in the Arrowverse because the movie's failure prevented this Green Lantern from being in the DCEU is really cool.
Mark Strong as Sinestro was brilliant casting. Would say the Abin Sur part at the start but I wish they'd have incorporated Atrocious and the 5 inversions instead of Parallax.
I actually think it's aged well. It's a very middle of the road movie but it's nowhere near as bad as Suicide Squad or BvS. Ryan Reynolds and Taika Waititi are fun playing off eachother and the villain has a decent amount of development. I think the script needed to be tightened up but I will still watch this now and again.
The art direction was done well. Their planet, the elders and their long robes, the different alien Green Lanterns. The huge lantern in their common space was stupid but, there was a lot of potential for a good movie. Then someone wrote it. SMH
Ryan as Hal, Strong as Sinestro are great casting. The character design of the CGI Lanterns like Kilowog is comic accurate and good. The few scenes we get in space are actually cool.
I never got the deep hate. Visually it was meh. The script was mediocre. The acting was okay. It was an absolute middle of the road film. Not worth a ton of praise, but definitely not deserving of the hate it got.
Honestly first half of the film is pretty good. The concepts themselves are not too bad, execution could have been better. Casting for this movie is actually really good, just a little overstuffed.
Sinestro was dead on..until the post credits scene. They could have made an entire trilogy about the slow corruption by the temptation of the yellow lantern. It could have been epic and tragic story that would rival Anikan Skywalkers story.
It was a fine superhero movie. I think the thing that killed it was the fact that it didn't have the same vibe as the Dark Knight films and with talks of what Man of Steel was going to be like, people PROBABLY saw this as too much of a departure from a more "realistic" feel that people were growing accustomed to.
I thought Tim Robbins Howard the Duck days of terrible acting where behind him but he proved me wrong when he appeared in Green Lantern. And I mean that as a compliment. It was a delight to see something so hammy from him again.
The casting was good and it was great to see Oa. Pretty much everything with the actual Green Lantern Corps was decent. It's the decision to spend so much time on earth that really sabotaged the movie.
I haven’t seen it myself but it seems like there was an attempt at some pretty cool world building. Just the concept of the corp as a universal agency is fascinating to me and I’m happy they embraced that
Mark Strong is great as Sinestro but the late great Michael Clark DuncanI as Kilowog is top tier casting. I also think they did a great job with how the lanterns looked as well as how their constructs were emitted. Everything looked very early in and it worked for me.
I actually enjoyed the movie. Wasn't the best movie ever made of course but it was a good bit of stupid fun. And this damn near deserved all the awards compared to the first attempt to put deadpool on the big screen in wolverine.
Mark Strong was perfect for Sinestro and Ryan Reynolds did a pretty decent job with Hal Jordan. I personally like the cgi aspects as I think it fits the concept of what a willpower construct would look like… the hot wheels scene was kinda fun… and… ummm…
Mark strong as Sinestro was perfect. Michael Clarke Duncan will never be topped for Killowog , and honestly the only things I did t like about the movie were the villains. So sick of evil space clouds lol I do want to see Mark strong as Sinestro again or as Braniac
The space scenes and Sinestro were great, I think sequels could have greatly improved upon it since the villain and earth banter held it back. There was a lot of potential nonetheless.
Genuinely my favorite DC movie, even if it plays fast and loose with lore. I think that's probably because it doesn't bother too hard to take itself seriously.
I actually kinda like the movie to be honest, i rewatched it recently and it wasn’t as bad as I remember. I think the premise of it is actually really good.
Mark Strong was the definitive cinematic Sinestro. His performance is a pleasure in an otherwise hum-drum origin story. I feel Strong could have been a wonderful Luthor opposite Henry Cavill in BvS.
I don't care how bad the film was, seeing a live-action gathering of the Corps filled me with happiness.
Have my upvote!
The scene where Hal visits Carol as the Lantern and she sees through his poor attempts at disguising himself is a wonderful bit of comedy.
"I've seen you naked you think I wouldn't recognise you be ayse I can't see your cheekbones"
Sinestro and all the scenes away from Earth are great. The rest not so much.
Michael Clarke-Duncan was excellent casting as Kilowog
Kilowog and Sinestro were high points for me. Could have set the whole movie on Oa and I would have been happy.
Mark Strong was dope casting as Sinestro. The intro scene for Parallax was also pretty cool
Casting in general was pretty great.
Fuck it I liked the depiction of the suits, yeah it's CGI but it's supposed to be made up of light and I liked that it went and sort of made muscles with the way it was designed, also mark strong is perfect as sinestro

1 Mark Strong as Sinestro is comic accurate especially when he's in the yellow suit and 2 it gave us great jokes in Deadpool
This. Sinestro is one of my favorite villains and Mark killed it for the little time he was on screen.
Amazing Siniestro
It did get Ryan Reynolds a wife and that's it that's all the praise I can give it
Poor guy was really struggling with the ladies up till then
Honestly I remember coming out of the theater and kind of liking it. Haven't revisted since, probably for the best.
It wasn’t the worst thing Ryan Reynolds has ever done.
We don't talk about that, and neither could he
Red notice 💀
Loved Ryan Reynolds as green lantern
the green colors were nice
taika waititi really proved in this film why he's a director.
He was pretty good as Hitler in Jojo Rabbit, I’ll give him that.
TIL taika was in this film
Cmon man he's awesome in Things We Do in the Shadows.
All the actors in this movie were great. A good actor with bad direction is not that actor’s fault.
Someone needs to watch what we do in the shadows.
I loved it. I didn't even notice/care about the CGI. I thought all the actors did a fantastic job.
All of the Lantern characters were pretty dope.
Mark Strong is perfect as Sinestro
It was better than Elektra
It did give us that scene in Deadpool 2 of Wade going back in time and assassinating Ryan Reynolds before he had a chance to read the script
I liked the movie. I thought it was good
I respect the fact that the movie wasn't afraid to spend a lot of time offworld. I could be remembering wrong as I haven't seen it in years, but I remember signficantly more of this film being offworld than the first Thor for example.
It was okay.
It's not THAT BAD of a movie. There are a shit ton of superhero films that are worse. And Sinestro was perfection
The Directors Cut was great, as it added back in the scenes that actually explore Hal’s motivations and the source of his fear.
Something Something Mark Strong.
I don’t care what you say, Ryan Reynolds reciting the Green Lantern Oath in live action gave me chills. It was clear that movie didn’t deserve him.
It’s actually a pretty good movie.
It was the CG work and script the actors were fine the material they were given was horrible
The cgi and the overstuffed, stock script
It clearly used The Last Starfighter as a template, so that’s a good thing I guess.
I actually like this film, it’s not amazing but I have fun with it!😊
The movie is fun and I enjoyed watching it a lot.
The "We're going to fly now" music is amazing!
Ryan and Mark were perfectly cast.
It's got Ryan Reynolds.
Same level as any of the Hulk Movies
Ryan Reynolds hair is small…
I understood that reference
Everything was there but the writing. The effects, the casting, and the scenery were spot-on it's just that the poor writing destroyed whatever it could have been.
I actually enjoyed the movie I have nothing bad to say about it
It had great casting. The execution was just not so good
Most of the stills you posted here were visually stunning.
Thanks, man.
I thought it was interesting that Carol Ferris was more of a mentor to Hal than Sinestro.
The suit wasn’t a bad design if the CGI was better
Mark Strong is an incredible Sinestro. A shame that WB seems too afraid to use the Lanterns on the big screen anymore.
Mark Strong’s Sinestro was well done.
It’s the greatest live action Green Lantern movie ever made.
I don’t think anyone objected to Ryan being Hal Jordan
The cgi is better than in the theatrical Justice league
It has Ryan Reynolds in it.
The fact that this might get us some Green Lantern stuff in the Arrowverse because the movie's failure prevented this Green Lantern from being in the DCEU is really cool.
Mark Strong as Sinestro was brilliant casting. Would say the Abin Sur part at the start but I wish they'd have incorporated Atrocious and the 5 inversions instead of Parallax.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
It ended
I actually think it's aged well. It's a very middle of the road movie but it's nowhere near as bad as Suicide Squad or BvS. Ryan Reynolds and Taika Waititi are fun playing off eachother and the villain has a decent amount of development. I think the script needed to be tightened up but I will still watch this now and again.
I wouldn't say "as bad as BvS", since that film still had its moments.
Its better than anything snyder did with superheroes and as bad as it is id rather watch that than any of snyders drivel
Oh bullshit.
It is directed by Taika Waititi
It is not.
It’s green. That’s the only good thing
It managed to give us a great-ass animated show, even though it only ran for one season...
The CGI and the villains are the only problems of the film. Everything else is actually pretty good.
Well it’s a movie
At least The ending senestro scene left me wanting a sequel
Kilowog was in it
Ryan Reynolds is really hot.
The production design, is some of the best a DC film has had.
It's a bad movie but I honestly kinda dig the effects.
It’s remotely possible I suppose the guy Hal threw though that brick wall was only disabled for life instead of killed.
They set up Mark Strong to be a great Sinestro. That's all.
I thought it was good when I was younger
I don't think it's crappy, just okay.
Green Lantern stumbled in the cgi costume dept. So others could succeed.
I haven't watched it but..it's definitely green!
The art direction was done well. Their planet, the elders and their long robes, the different alien Green Lanterns. The huge lantern in their common space was stupid but, there was a lot of potential for a good movie. Then someone wrote it. SMH
The CGI was awful but an interesting aesthetic.
Best part of the movie is when Sinestro puts on the yellow ring and his suit changes into the Sinestro core version. And Blake Lively is hot
Marc Strong is a perfect Sinestro.
Everything on OA was great.
It truly is one of the films of all time
The green lights are cool
Blake Lively is so sexy!!!
The CGI wasn’t what made this movie bad
I never saw it so I have nothing bad to say about it.
The ring construct design was actually pretty good and the one part of the movie where the cgi was perfectly appropriate
it made hal jordan defeat parallax which is honestly more respect then the animated movies gave him
It was very green.
Wasn't a crappy film... A crappy suit maybe but since the old is not good anough
It had cgi!
Mark Strong is a great actor. It also helped set Ryan Reynolds on a path to give us Deadpool
Eye popping special effects and a solid attempt at world building.
I’ve never seen a pile of space diarrhoea portrayed better than this in film history. Kudos to the CGI team.
Ryan as Hal, Strong as Sinestro are great casting. The character design of the CGI Lanterns like Kilowog is comic accurate and good. The few scenes we get in space are actually cool.
Ryan Reynolds in skin tight lil’ trunks was worth seeing it. LOL
I never got the deep hate. Visually it was meh. The script was mediocre. The acting was okay. It was an absolute middle of the road film. Not worth a ton of praise, but definitely not deserving of the hate it got.
Honestly first half of the film is pretty good. The concepts themselves are not too bad, execution could have been better. Casting for this movie is actually really good, just a little overstuffed.
Casting was good for this movie. Ever character was pretty close to what I was expecting.
Sinestro was dead on..until the post credits scene. They could have made an entire trilogy about the slow corruption by the temptation of the yellow lantern. It could have been epic and tragic story that would rival Anikan Skywalkers story.
Didnt barf during the movie .
It was a fine superhero movie. I think the thing that killed it was the fact that it didn't have the same vibe as the Dark Knight films and with talks of what Man of Steel was going to be like, people PROBABLY saw this as too much of a departure from a more "realistic" feel that people were growing accustomed to.
I liked it
I thought Tim Robbins Howard the Duck days of terrible acting where behind him but he proved me wrong when he appeared in Green Lantern. And I mean that as a compliment. It was a delight to see something so hammy from him again.
It is funny. I rather this one than Josstice League
Sinestro looked cool at the ending.. actually gave me hope for a good sequel with him.
The casting was good and it was great to see Oa. Pretty much everything with the actual Green Lantern Corps was decent. It's the decision to spend so much time on earth that really sabotaged the movie.
Best post credit scene in the DCEU
I liked that the movie ended.
Blake Lively was in it
I haven’t seen it myself but it seems like there was an attempt at some pretty cool world building. Just the concept of the corp as a universal agency is fascinating to me and I’m happy they embraced that
Mark Strong is great as Sinestro but the late great Michael Clark DuncanI as Kilowog is top tier casting. I also think they did a great job with how the lanterns looked as well as how their constructs were emitted. Everything looked very early in and it worked for me.
I liked this movie over the dark knight rises.
It had Ryan Reynolds in it
It was a bit messy, but I liked it. A sequel from people who actually know and enjoyed the comics would have been great!
Ryan reynolds is handsome in it
Ryan Reynolds was a great casting choice IMO and I think he could maybe do an excellent job
Sinestro was well written, and I thought the rings looked kind of cool, especially the yellow ring
Parallax was pretty scary all things considered.
I haven’t seen it since 2011. I don’t remember it well, but I didn’t hate it. I remember saying to my buddy after seeing it “It was better than Thor.”
Mark strong and Ryan Reynolds were perfectly cast.
Nice shade of green I suppose.
Overall accurate origin film
I actually enjoyed the movie. Wasn't the best movie ever made of course but it was a good bit of stupid fun. And this damn near deserved all the awards compared to the first attempt to put deadpool on the big screen in wolverine.
Geoffrey Rush opening and closing narration in the movie.
Die chick was hot thou
green’s my favorite color?
Mark Strong was perfect for Sinestro and Ryan Reynolds did a pretty decent job with Hal Jordan. I personally like the cgi aspects as I think it fits the concept of what a willpower construct would look like… the hot wheels scene was kinda fun… and… ummm…
Ryan Reynolds is hot
Ryan Reynolds still looks pretty damn hot here. Yeeeep
I genuinely enjoyed the movie
Mark strong as Sinestro was perfect. Michael Clarke Duncan will never be topped for Killowog , and honestly the only things I did t like about the movie were the villains. So sick of evil space clouds lol I do want to see Mark strong as Sinestro again or as Braniac
I thought the movie was good for what it was, i don’t see why there’s so much hate..
I liked it more than I liked the Eternals movie.
Sinestro 199%
It brought Ryan Reynold and Blake Lively together. And the actor for Sinestro looked like he was taken out of the comic pages.
Sinestro is perfectly cast
They cast Ryan Reynolds
A lot of the character designs are spot on
That was one really green... lantern?
Temuera Morrison (the current Boba Fett) as Abin Sur was fine.
I was going to say, Hal Jordan gets his ring from Thomas Curry!
The space scenes and Sinestro were great, I think sequels could have greatly improved upon it since the villain and earth banter held it back. There was a lot of potential nonetheless.
It’s not a crappy film
It gave Ryan Reynolds plenty of joke material going forward.
Genuinely my favorite DC movie, even if it plays fast and loose with lore. I think that's probably because it doesn't bother too hard to take itself seriously.
The scene with the professor guy during his class was godlike
I thought the film was freaking dope. Then I learned more about Green Lantern and wondered How the fuck did DC allow this to happen! Oh yeah greed! 🙄
I like everything about this film, except for the forced transition to Parallax. That was just studio-dumb-execs thinking they were film makers.
I also bought the Blu-ray and have it in 3D as well. Green Lanterns forever!!
Had my first make out session during that movie so there’s a good thing from it 😂
This had the potential to have been an excellent movie. The cast was strong, the effects were great, the writing was written. 2 out of 3 ain't bad
I actually kinda like the movie to be honest, i rewatched it recently and it wasn’t as bad as I remember. I think the premise of it is actually really good.
The sequel would’ve been cool
Casting was excellent, except for Reynolds imo. Also the CGI was pretty good, even if some of the designs/digital concepts were weird
I think the suit looks cool
I actually really fucking enjoy this movie. I know. Im in the 1%.
I really loved this movie's Kilowog.
The fear blob instantly absorbing the life (souls?) out of thousands of fleeing people was a disturbing scene I still remember.
Mark Strong was the definitive cinematic Sinestro. His performance is a pleasure in an otherwise hum-drum origin story. I feel Strong could have been a wonderful Luthor opposite Henry Cavill in BvS.
As a huge green lantern fan, I’d love to see Ryan back at it. It’s all we got so far. Almost forced to love it.
The visuals were mostly good. Strong was good.
This both feels like wow its already 11 years old and also wow only 11 years old
That suit sure was CG.
Blake lively is hot as fuck
It had good actors
It ended fast enough to allow Ryan Reynolds to play Deadpool.
RR was a fantastic Hal Jordan.
I mean bad cgi aside the characters at least look like their comic counterparts and Ryan Reynolds is a good casting choice for Hal Jordan.
Ryan Reynolds wasn’t that bad in this film
Parallax was scary good!
I love all the designs for all the Green Lanterns! They are so alien looking and unique I love it
I love the variety of Green Lanterns, and love Poliwog (RIP Michael Clarke Duncan).
Putting the helicopter on the Hot Wheels track construct was a perfect Hal Jordan moment.
I like that the Green Lantern suits look almost like their flesh.
Ryan Reynolds was a fantastic choice for Hal Jordon. Wouldn’t mind seeing him as a Green Lantern in the future.
Mark Strong was great.
It was supposed to be what Iron Man was for Marvel AND had Ryan Reynolds real life wife as his love interest in the movie
When I was a kid I loved this movie, and I didn’t understand why people hated it
It’s a DC movie that isn’t about Batman
To be fair it is a movie. It spans for an amount of time and it has a plot.
