I didn’t have much expectation from Green Lantern; I can’t point out the exact reason but I was just not feeling the movie. Unfortunately the movie lived up to my expectations. The movie was jerky, abrupt and boring at parts.
The downfall started with the beginning introduction of Green Lanterns and their intergalactic police force. This introduction was messy and confusing at parts and left me wanting the movie to just move on. Also Ryan Reynolds’ opening flying dog fight was not as captivating as Tom Cruise’s flying dog fight in Top Gear. The scene was so familiar that comparisons had to be drawn. Blake Lively had an interesting yet clichéd character in which she tried to inject as much acting as she could. Also I wish she could clear her voice a little. She sounds like she is mumbling at times. However with a weak story, neither Ryan nor Blake could salvage the movie.
The movie only truly comes to life in the last 15min or so. Unfortunately many viewers had been too bored by then and had walked out of the theatre long before. Maybe if the movie length had been shorter with the ending sequence taking up more chunk of the movie, it could have been a better viewing experience.
All in all, Green Lantern could be watched for the very vivid full-body scan of Ryan Reynolds clad in a very tight and white low-cut underwear that left nothing to the imagination and of course the main fight scene in the ending.
