  • I thought it was gonna be amazing, and then it was just.....it sucked

  • I thought the movie would be REALLY BAD and after seeing it I have to say that it was BAD but not THAT BAD

  • and they are going to follow up with a sequel even through the boxoffice gross they only just barely made the cut (not including the marketing budget). They movie was awful imo, the special effects were cheesy, and seriously were the computer generated effects needed for the mask? They rest of his face was entirely recognizable. The plot needed much tweaking, and dialouges are laughable.

  • Yea. It sucked :)

  • Isnt the green lantern black?

  • @MrHoward0007 John Stewart is. This movie was about Hal Jordan who's white.

  • THIS MOVIE SUCKED

  • It's not so much a terrible movie. You have to have read the comics, and had a good knowledge of the green lantern history to enjoy it more. I didn't have to much knowledge, but I thought it was mediocre.

  • this movie was fucking good.... all critics talk shit..unless the film production pays for advertise within the critics once i listen a critic about a movie which he said it was good just to find out it was shit

  • You do got a point that the acting was bad. But it had some cool parts to it didnt blow my mind like other comic book films have plus this is DC not marvel. I wouldnt of gave it suckage just alright maybe a dvd rental. If you notices there was a hint of the superman theme within some of the scences when green lantern enters a place..

  • do not go to see this movie!!!!! lol when it was finished i heard groups of people say "Well that sucked" it was a horrible movie, nothing stood out there wasn't a fight scene that made you go wow, it was a terrible mess with a cheesy story, it was garbage.

  • Friends of mine had told me this was great, i went in expecting as much and was disappointed. I just couldn't get into the film, and I too like the comics.

  • you gave it a suckage, but fan of the comix or not, at this point expect anything that started out as a comic or anime to turn out terrible story wise in theatres. but like you said with transformers, the graphics were amazing, the 3d surprisingly good! tbh while i am a huge fan of comics/manga/ anime/dc/ not so much marvel (altho sometimes they pull through) if you ignore the story and see the hero portray the powers they have and how they would use them, you cant fully hate on this...

  • I agree with you a 100%

  • I was debating seeing this film but bad pacing is one of my pet peeves in movies. I can deal with bad acting. Whatever. But pacing is a true testament to the directing and writing, so if it sucks, I'll spend the whole movie pissed off... hahaha! Thanks for the honest review, Ryan! I'll think twice before going out to this one!

  • waiting for your transformers review! watched it and love it! :)) haha

  • I was very sad to see that the Green Lantern was, like you said, suckage. However, I thought the film had another redeeming quality to it: about 90 minutes of Ryan Reynolds. Not bad. :D

  • hahahha so i wasnt the only one that thought this. ITS A DC COMIC THATS WHY

  • I thank you for your review now please excuse me while I unsubscribe to your site

  • @RURSVP NO.ONE.GIVES.A.FUCK.

  • @ComedyAllianz If no one gives a fuck then why the fuck then do you even care to reply to I fucking said you stupid fucking fuck!!!

  • after seeing Green Lantern, I can recommend seeing Xmen; First Class, twice......

  • Loved it.

  • I love watching your show and for the most part agree with most of your movie reviews. I just got back from Watching this and i liked it. I thought it was good story and i didn't think the lines were cheesy. The only thing i didn't like was The CGI. It was horrible. All the Aliens didn't look like they finished them.Green lanterns powers looked cool though. Other then that i liked the movie. 7.5 out of 10 for me.

  • dude, i cant even judge if a movie is good or not. i didnt know that green lantern was THAT BAD,so... is it weird to be me ? EVEN MY DAD HATES GREEN LANTERN and he knows nothing about the comics

  • ry what the hell dude. Idk what you're on but that movie kicked ass

  • Finally a review i agree with.

  • i reeeeeally don't like blake lively but love ryan reynolds. bummer that this movie apparently doesn't even do reynolds justice.

  • I loved this movie. And I enjoyed all of the CGI because it made the power of will feel like it was actually some mystical unknown power of sorts. I also didn't have a big problem with the acting, except for the beginning when Blake Lively was trying to be tough. That was the most unbelievabke thing about it. Bt she is smokin hot so it's ok.

  • I saw the film and I felt let down. I expected DC to do better with their comic book movies but this was totally disappointing. I wish they stuck more closer to Geoff Johns Secret Origins story. The movie version went all over the place and couldn't stay focused. FX wise, they should have sprung for more traditional make-up FX aliens and less CGI ones. The acting, with the exception of Mark Strong, was sub par.

    DC fans deserve better than this.

  • hey film state how about Green Lantern movie vs Green Lantern Emerald Knights 2011 2d animation movie and keep up the good work

  • I haven't seen.. Probs still will lol.. That guys is a randomy weirdy actor thingo

  • Come on! at least a Meh!

  • Wow. Thank you for the review. I really have learned to trust your reviews (we have some kind of extra sensory connection when it comes to reviewing movies - I review movies for friends and family - ... yeah... didn't know you had a clone of your mind loose in the world did you?!). I'll wait for a $1 rental and check it out then... can't resist getting my hands on a Green Lantern movie at some point.

    Please give a review of Captain America as soon as possible. Please?

  • so I'll just have to wait for a friend to buy a DVD and borrow it ... thanks for the warning ryan ... :D

  • completely agree  felt the same way walking out

  • I dunno I thought it was really good, but i agree with what u said about it, but it was fun movie to watch and i got enveloped in the effects more than the actual plot haha

  • TOTALLY AGREED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

  • called and agreed....went 2 c it in theaters w/ my bro and my mom and it SUCKED!!!! i was really disapointed cuz the trailer looked F****en awsom....so i agree

  • .... i called it....

  • Ryan dude, quit pussyfooting around the bad reviews. It doesn't matter how much technical skill went into making something, if it is bad then it is bad (e.g. look at all the production costs that go into making a Britney Spears album, or concert). If it is terrible then it deserves to get ripped apart. Take off the leash and go to town on these celluloid travesties. It's far more interesting to watch then to see you (or the TRS guys) find the nicest way to talk about a bad movie.

  • ohh don't worry. They will be making a Re-make next week ;)

  • I kinda don't like it either.

  • I guessed that, I thought it looked awful from the trailer personally.

  • I totally agree!!! The writing was a mess! The acting was awful! And Blake can't act for sh@*! There was no chemistry between the two leads and the CGI of the elders looked like it was from a video game from 1998. It made me sad. :(

  • Oh wow. If you are a Google Chrome user check the tab out. I think it sums up Ryans view of the movie.

  • totally agree...

  • I think they needed the back story and such to play out so the Sequel will be all action all the time....and Blake Lively sucking, and not in a good way. Ang Lee got RIPPED a new one for his version of the HULK, and then the re-boot was MUCH better. I hope for the same with "Green Lantern 2: Sinestro's Gaping Revenge" (Title still being worked on by DC)

  • I was really up and down with this one... GL just felt like a bipolor film, when it was good it was really good, but when when it was bad oh man was it craptacular! I enjoyed the space opera parts cheese and all, but almost every scene on Earth just sucked.

  • @saryoku This wasn't as bad as the last air bender. But it was definitely suckage. I wish it was as cool as it looked. Wasn't even entertaining to me. I was bored through the entire thing.

  • One thing, in this movie the lead doesn't make any sense. Hal Jordan is supposed to be a straight shooting sorta guy, THATS WHY THE ALIEN PICKED HIM TO BE A GREEN LANTERN. Ryan Renolds was too silly for this role..

  • haha i was waiting for your review to see if im going to watch it or not. now, im going to watch it! and see all the suckage you're talking abt! hahaha

  • I normally agree with most of your reviews. I totally disagree with you on this one.

  • @onica7 Respectfully, I am with onica7 on this one. I love you, no homo, but i loved the movie. not bad acting, maybe bad script and characters.

  • @onica7 I'm glad you enjoyed the film. I wish I did too. :/

  • @onica7 Even reviews sites totally agree.. Rotten Tomatoes its at a whopping 26% and says "Noisy, overproduced, and thinly written, Green Lantern squanders an impressive budget and decades of comics mythology."

    Other indi reviews on Revision 3 also said the same thing.. I think you are in a minority with this one..

  • If you don't give bad reviews then what's the point of giving good ones?

  • all comic book movie suck except first class and nolan's batman

  • I have to agree with this review. I was so disappointed in this movie. I also think the villain should have been Sinestro. But I guess they're holding their wad on that. Regardless, they should have blown a big Sinestro load on everybody as he was the best part of the movie.

  • This movie wasn't that horrible, but it was insanely mediocre.

  • thanks for this. now i know to stay away..

  • @wonderwall135 I would wait for dvd if anything.

  • Thank you! This was an awful movie on every level. What is really sad is to know how much time, money, and skill was involved only to see it turn askew and implode on itself. Sinestro was laughable. In fact every time he appeared on screen there were snickers and chuckles across the theater.

  • I saw the trailer and knew it was going to suck, it looked sucky

  • Yeah, I kinda thought that it would suck...

  • I agree in my opinion the visuals were horrible everything looked so fake, star wars which was made like 30 years agoish had better visual effects.

  • @roystreetmedia you can live with it ;)

  • There are so many people actually likeing this movie, Why did you give it a suckage?

    You did say anything positive other then Mark strong. But yet i still need to see it, but other reviews people have liked it.

  • It COULD have been better, but i still left the theater pretty satisfied. Better than most superhero movies usually turn out to be. I'd give it an above average rating for it's genre . Plus the end of the credits easter egg was pretty sweet too

  • Whoa just say one of Ryan's Domain.com ads as a pre-roll lol

  • I feel they could have done more with Ryan Reynolds and had more"becoming Green Lantern" action. Though I didn't think it sucked, I agree that it could have been better.

  • Well, if Ryan hates it, then it must be a good movie. So far I have not agreed with his ratings. Think I will go see this one.

  • Yeah I saw this and thought the same. I'm a huge DC Comics fanboy and I really hope they don't continue to make complete crap. The batman movies are good, but if they screw up another Superman Movie, I'll be pissed. IMO the last good superman movie was Superman II.

  • Hahahahahhahaha man I totally agree with you, it was almost word for word what I said when I walked out of the theater!

  • uhhh Ryan you know how youtube has adds? well i just saw one of you ads for DOMAIN.COM and i also saw it on TV yesterday :D

  • So, this is a ridicilously stupid nitpicky thing to ask, but- shouldn't the actual review be something other then a probability meter, since the movie is actually out and has been seen?

    I vote "Actuality meter".

  • @ZedFable uhhh, that was a ridicilously stupid thing to ask since he JUST said that at first from the trailers it looked like an eff yeah, then he said that it is a suckage... I dont see how you missed that

  • @Canaboll They mean the second time Ryan rates a film the meter should be called the "Actuality meter".

    Before seeing a film it's the probability meter after seeing it it's the actuality meter.

  • @Canaboll Haha, dude I know how they work. I am referring to the caption- it still reads probability meter at the bottom of the guage, which technically (again, if you are being stupidly nitpicky) doesn't really make sense since it is no longer a probability but an actuality.

  • I dont know if you now this ryan but before the video starts you know that add that come up well.................. it was about Justin Bieber. sorry to have to break it to you.

  • Well, I guess we can say that Chris Nolan should be the only one touching DC Comics films.

  • This film was advertising like CRAZY. Everywhere I looked I saw It's posters, billboards, commercials etc. It was really getting annoying.

  • I'm glad that there is another human being that agrees with me. All of my friends think I'm nuts cuz I didn't like it but it just was so typical.

  • So Ryan, we both agree that most of the DC comic movies suck. Why do you think that is? Do you think it has to do with the source material, or do you think it has to do with something completely different? I'm not saying that DC's comics are bad, it is just a thought. Anyway, I'd love to get your thoughts on the matter.

  • I respectfully disagree, Ryan. I went into the film with little expectations and was pleasantly surprised. And I thought Ryan Reynolds did a decent job. Did it rock my world like Superman or Batman did? No. Was it a perfect film or story? No. But it was a fun popcorn flick.

  • ...omg. I just realise! Zack Snyder, is gonna direct the Man of Steel! DC is ruined T_T.

  • I was skeptic of campbell in the recent years...what do you think? After casino royale has he lost his touch?

  • WHAT?!?! Blake Lively in my opinion is the hottest chick that was in a comic book movie! ...next to jessica alba...

  • Do you think that you disliked the movie more than you would have just because you had such high expectations? I agree with you about almost everything, and yet I still left the theater with a meh rating for it. I'm thinking it might be because I intentionally left all of my expectations really low because I didn't want to get burned.

  • Was that a Tommy Wiseau voice you were imitating? YOU ARE TEARING ME APART LISA!

  • me had no prob with it i thought it was awesome.

  • I think this is a hit or miss movie depending on the person. This is one your really have to look at the Audience rating. On rotten tomatoes it got a 61% from audiences which means more than half the people that watched it liked it. It obviously didn't do well with critics (Ryan obviously falls into this category) because they gave it a 26%. So I suggest you go see it for yourself and make your own decision.

  • @Randomntn Google

  • No offense, but I think you were off on this review

  • I didn't neccessarily think the movie was that bad but I do think it has huge potential to be a hit or a miss. I just like Green Lantern so I'll take the bad film until a good one comes out (just like the Hulk and Incredible Hulk movies).

  • I can totally see where you're coming from with the review but I think that it at least deserved a "Meh!" rating. Suckage is a little too harsh. There were a lot of elements of humor in the film that really worked for me, both as a filmmaker and a comic book fan. Humor doesn't excuse everything else, but I think it bumps it from a "Suckage" to a "Meh!" at least.

  • its not what you do its how you do it... i wish directors would realize this

  • is it really that bad..LOL

  • Damn well that seems to be the consensus ...most unfortunate

  • I didn't think the acting was that bad. I liked how they made fun things they couldn't avoid without pissing off fans, like his mask, etc. Overall, it was better than I thought since I thought it was going to be really bad. I left the movie feeling satisfied. I woulda gave it a 6-7 out of 10 when I thought it was going to be a 4-5.

  • Wow Ryan. I think this is the first movie that we totally disagree on. Oh well. You can't win em all.

  • I trust filmstate/filmriot to tell me what movies to not go to the cinemas for. Thanks Ryan! You're a Boss :)

  • Ryan where do you get all the pictures from? They are great.

  • I didn't like it either- the effort on the effects were good but because they made a huge effort on the effects, the final boss battle sucked. I was expecting a big big boss fight with all the other lanterns to help him. And the rest of the lanterns didn't show up that much on the movie. You'd expect them to fight the bad guy because they're meant to be protecting their universe.. big disappointment :L Great Review Ryan! :3

  • Oh you tease me with the Transformers review.

  • I KNEW IT!!!

    From the moment I saw the first trailer I knew this was gonna be major suckage. The effects--which is what most people found to be the redeeming quality--don't even look good. They DEFINITELY chose the wrong actors to play these characters, and the fact that Ryan Reynolds was playing it funny instead of serious just put me over the edge.

    I knew this movie was gonna suck from the beginning. And nobody believed me....

  • After some of the summer blockbusters came out (X-men,Thor, Fast 5,Super 8,Johny Depp of the caribean and Green Lantern) Do you think they represented good enough?

  • ryans a beast, u tell em ry!

  • I agree with everything with what u said

  • I was looking forward to this film but I think I may avoid like I did with M. Knight Shamasuckage version of The last airbender...

  • Do you think DC's movies have gone down after the dark knight? do you think the second batman movie will be as good as the first one?

  • @hinesward9 I think almost all DC movie suck other than Batman. The Dark Knight was the second Batman film, 'Batman Begins' was the first. But I definitely think the third will be just as awesome.

  • @FilmState Agreed. Only Watchmen is decently good. Other that... It's just the awesome Christopher Nolan's Batmans. And yes,the 3rd one will be sooo AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS!

  • @FilmState There are not many amazing DC films, however Watchmen, Batman begins and Dark knight, <3 <3 at first sight

  • @FilmState THIRD?!?! THERE WAS A THIRD!!!!!

  • More please???????

  • so this is how it feels... to be... THE FIR- oh wait <.<

  • check out my page for more good films!
