What critics are saying:
Superhero Hype: "Green Lantern fails on so many levels, both as a movie and as a comics adaptation; one of the bigger disappointments of the summer."
IGN: "The film is bad enough to possibly kill any hope for ever seeing The Flash or Justice League."
Bleeding Cool: "Green Lantern is a kids move; but it's a kids movie any fanboys can enjoy".
Crave Online: "This is not the start of a great new blockbuster franchise. It may have already put an end to it."
Entertainment Weekly: "The whole movie is eye candy, and not much more."
US Weekly: "Green Lantern fails to shine."
MSNBC: "A pretty joyless comic book movie experience."
New York Observer: "A dumb, pointless, ugly, moronic and incomprehensible jumble of botched effects, technical blunders, and cluttered chaos."
Hollywood Reporter: "Serves up all the requisite elements with to suggest it doesn't take itself too seriously."
UGO: "An accurate representation of the comic book artform: brisk, enjoyable, and ephemeral."
Joblo: "It's not the end all be all of superhero films, however it will bode well with audiences tired of the brooding caped crusader".
Associated Press: "A joyless amalgamation of expository dialogue and special effects that aren't especially special."
Hitfix: "Plenty of mistakes were made in bringing Green Lantern to the big screen; I have a feeling this is our one and only trip to Oa."
Hollywood.com: "For an actor praised for his down-to-earth demeanor, larger-than-life may simply lie outside of Ryan Reynolds' range."
Variety: "A highly unstable alloy of the serious, the goofy and the downright derivative."
SSG Syndicate: "As a superhero origin story, it's a major disappointment."
Sky Movies: "Led by the ever-watchable Ryan Reynolds, Hal is a pale imitation of Robert Downey Jrs Tony Stark."
Metromix: "The amount of money thrown at the screen isn't nearly as important as the quality of the story being told."
