Let me first start this review off with a disclaimer. I never read the Green Lantern comic book as a kid or as an adult. I did not know his backstory, or the intricacies of the world he is a part of, or where he stands in the pantheon of classic DC characters. The only thing that I knew about Green Lantern was that he had a special ring that can help him create just about any kind of object through his own mind and willpower, which is actually kind of cool. Obviously, I’m a rookie when it comes to Green Lantern knowledge. Now that we got that out of the way, I walked in to Martin Campbell’s Green Lantern (2011) with low expectations. Nothing from what I’ve seen in the trailers or read in press releases gave me much to be excited for. I thought I was going to see a silly, flat, overproduced, unexciting movie with bad dialogue and uninteresting characterizations. Unfortunately, I got exactly what I was expecting.
