“They say that if youu0026#39;ve seen one superhero movie, youu0026#39;ve seen them all. Thatu0026#39;s not entirely true, but if every superhero movie were like Green Lantern, then it would be true. Green Lantern is your typical superhero movie, so if youu0026#39;ve seen quite a few superhero movies (like I have), youu0026#39;ll know whatu0026#39;s ahead. This is the problem with Green Lantern, itu0026#39;s too predictable and does nothing new to make it stand out from the crowd. Thatu0026#39;s not necessarily a bad thing though, but itu0026#39;s not a good thing either. There are 3 good things in this movie. One, Peter Sarsgaard as Hector Hammond is delightfully hammy and fun to watch. Two, the SFX are cool and what they do with the Green Lantern ring is also cool, and Parallaxu0026#39;s design suits its evilness. Third, the fight between Hal and Parallax is the best scene in the movie. Other than those things, itu0026#39;s average. If youu0026#39;ve never seen a superhero movie and/or are a Green Lantern fan, this movie is worth seeing. Everyone else should see X-Men: First Class.”
