Green Lantern was interesting. Not great. I thought the main plot was simple given the complexity of the back story. You might chalk that up to the “first movie” exposition requirement.

The hype didn't really match the movie. The visuals were good and they made deep use of 3D obviously intending to use a lot of it throughout the movie from the beginning.

Still, it is Ryan Reynolds playing his usual shtick and a lot of passive replay of other comic book hero plots. The human villain was played up with some depth. Nevertheless, the kids enjoyed it and the audience gave a decent clap when it was over. I thought it was alright. Keep in mind; the kids were begging me to see Super 8 again. Mhmm 3 of 5.
