Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. Robot Chicken eventually made a skit out of this film.In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries.Meaning he doesn't want to talk about that movie There was even a scene in, that proved that even DC hated the movie, and John Stewart of the Green Lantern Corps says "There was a Green Lantern movie.Ryan Reynolds admitted he hated the film and was happy that it bombed at the box office and got panned by critics, as he did not wish to reprise his role and later references it negatively in Deadpool and Deadpool 2.Even Deadpool cracked a joke about it by Deadpool saying "And make sure my suit isn't green".According to animation producer Greg Weisman and voice actors Josh Keaton and Khary Payton, the movie's poor box office reception played a major role in the eventual cancellation of Green Lantern: The Animated Series which was superior and faithful to its source material, and also Young Justice (though the latter was brought back after a strong fan campaign).The film had been in the works since the late 1990s and went through countless rewrites.Warner Brothers hit the reset button for Green Lantern Corps, which was scheduled for a 2020 release, but has since been delayed along with numerous other DC projects. The original plan was to have a sequel be made after the original, but was cancelled due to poor performance at the box office (mentioned earlier in "Box Office" section).

Richard Roeper remarked in his review of the film, "He's an ambiguously.heroic hero." Green Lantern received mixed to negative reviews from critics and audiences. Ryan Reynolds redeemed himself from Green Lantern 5 years later by portraying the more successful Deadpool, which was a more suitable role for him than this one.The music by James Newton Howard was well composed.Certain supporting characters that were in the comics appear and are nods to the original comics (e.g.A few funny moments like when Hal said "To infinity, and beyond" (a reference to Buzz Lightyear's iconic phrase) while trying to figure out what the Green Lantern official oath is.The supporting cast members do a decent job for what they were given.There are a lot of good fight scenes, even with the poor cinematography.The Arrowverse crossover event "Crisis on Infinite Earths" also establishes that the 2011 film version takes place on the world of Earth-12, for no reason.Aside from the poor characterization, the supporting characters are weak.Bad cinematography, making the film look dark and bright at the same time.The film tried hard to set up both a sequel and the entire DC Extended Universe and failed at both planned tasks.His mask is by far the worst, as it makes his eyes look completely white. For some reason, they decided to design the suit itself with a visible muscular system, as you can see individual lines representing muscle tendons. Hal's costume looks terrible and downright creepy.Bad acting from actors such as Mark Strong, except for a miscast Ryan Reynolds.Unlikable characters, especially for the main protagonist, Hal Jordan (or known as Green Lantern).It has an infamous scene where Hal Jordan transformed into Green Lantern suit with CGI. ![]() Overuse of cartoonish CGI which takes them straight into the uncanny valley, even for the masks.Sub-par special effects, especially for the fighter jets and Parallax himself.The plot is weak and boring, as most of it is just filler. ![]() Too many cliches that were already used in previous superhero films.The film doesn't really follow up with the actual character.Poorly written script, that has many plot holes such as Hal's father not ejecting from the crashed jet when he was young.However, with the powers comes the responsibility of defeating the evil Parallax who is set on destroying Earth. ![]() Hal Jordan, a test pilot, acquires superhuman powers after being chosen by the Ring.
