I've read some of the other user reviews and I find a lot of them laughable. Was this a great movie? No. Was it a bad movie? No, of course not. I went into Green Lantern the same way I would go into - oh I don't know - a "Hangover" movie. You pretty much know what you're going to get. I suppose, however, that most of the same critic wannabes I had the displeasure of reading will probably go into the "Smurfs" movie with their quippy lines and well thought out rants already typed up and ready to send. It's easier to jump on the band wagon, than it is to be honest I guess.

Personally, I thought Green Lantern was fairly good. Now, I should preface that with the fact that I already knew a bit about the ring wearing superhero before going in. That doesn't mean, however, that I wouldn't have been entertained otherwise. In fact, I thought the movie was entertaining. Granted, it seemed rushed (and it was), but I left the movie theater feeling neither giddy nor disappointed. I jut wanted more. I wish there was more. More action, more fighting, more build up. Just...more.

To those of you bashing the special effects or the storyline...you obviously don't know much about Green Lantern. And that's fine. This movie obviously isn't for you. Have fun watching the "Smurfs".

I, being a huge fan of the original, was probably more excited to see this movie than anyone. And in 3-D no less. So...I walk into the theater with my 3-D glasses on my head, holding my $5 popcorn and get ready to watch my favorite childhood movie and...and...and...oh no. Oh no. This is awful. I sat through the movie wondering why I don't care about any of these characters. On top of that, I'm wondering why I spent the extra money to see it in 3-D. The best 3-D effects came during the opening credits. Other than that, I could have thrown the glasses away. Now I know why James Cameron is not a big fan of making films 3-D after the fact. To make a long story short, I was incredibly disappointed. I would not recommend this movie to anyone. Go see the original "Clash of the Titans" if you want to lose yourself in a good movie. After seeing this one all I could think of was "oh how the mighty titans have fallen."
