Review: Green Lantern

I went to see Green Lantern hoping for a fun movie-going experience...which is exactly what I got.

Ryan Reynolds is a great choice for the lead. He was adept at properly portraying all the various emotions that his character, Hal Jordan, is subjected to in the journey that is Green Lantern.

The supporting cast is solid; especially so with the addition of Mark Strong (Stardust, Body of Lies, Sherlock Holmes) as Sinestro, the nominal leader of the Green Lantern Corps.

Directed by Martin Campbell (Casino Royale, Vertical Limit), Green Lantern moves quickly and coherently as Campbell has a solid script to work from, and a stellar cast of CGI folks to help him create the world of Hal Jordan and the Green Lanterns.

Though I don't think this has passed Thor as the best film of the 2011 summer box office season, Green Lantern is still a great ride! It's fun, fast-paced, completely unbelievable, and a terrific time!

I highly recommend you see this!

And YES...I'll buy this one on DVD!

(...go see it!)
