“Lean, Green, Pudding Machine. Green Lantern does an efficient job for someone like me who was after a colourful bit of noisy entertainment. No expectation levels are set other than to not be insulted, so by and large this does a job.

“<em>'Green Lantern'</em> is indeed a rotten movie. Given it was impossible not to, I already knew the reputation that this film holds - from on/off chat down the years, as well as seeing Ryan Reynolds himself making jokes at this 2011 flick's expense. I can now fully see why, at the beginning I was wondering if it could be as bad as its rep and, boy, it sure is! Reynolds' performance is pretty poor, this evidently came out in the era of romcom Ryan Reynolds rather than <em>'Deadpool'</em> ”
