Finally saw Green Lantern today.
Gotta say, I really enjoyed it. Maybe it's because I had such low expectations going in, but it surprised me.
Reynolds as Jordan really exceeded my expectations. He toned down his smart ass personality just enough. Hal Jordan is no Guy Gardner, but he's still a bit cocky and brash. And in scenes where he had to portray the will and determination that define the character, he did great.
Rush as Tomar Re was perfect. GL Sinestro was great. He had just enough arrogance to sew the seeds of his future fall, but without crossing that line(until the post credits)
I actually like the movie parallax more than the comic version. Was more interesting as a fallen guardian, than as some generic ancient evil.
Hector Hammond knocked it right out of the park. Can't see how they could have made him better.
Only thing I really didn't like was Duncan as Kilowog. His voice, while deep and scary sounding, is still very monotone. Feel like kilowog should be loud and boisterous.
The suit looked better in motion, especially with that effect of energy flowing through it. When idle though? Yeah, looked shitty. But it didn't bother me that much.
In the end, It's no Dark Knight or anything, but I still thought it was a fun movie.
