Green Lantern (12A)

One of the best Super Heroe movies in years. Stunning action and likeable characters. Ryan Reynolds is a perfect sdtar for this role and the girl in it Blake Lively looks stunning. The sets are fantastic so it is a visual feast and some subtle humour adds up to one hell of a good movie. 6 Stars if possible. Keith Uhlich has missed the point in his review. I think he sees too many movies to really enjoy a fun movie without looking for faults or weak acting. Lighten up man!

I think you've very much missed my point. I have no problem with someone enjoying a film, it's when hyperbolic statements come into the fray. In this case the "New standards " line which I was directly reacting too. Statements like that go past personal subjectivity and have to be backed up in terms of, for want of a better word, "quality". It's fine to enjoy a Western for instance, but when you turn around and declare (And not using all the softpeddling of IMHO etc) that it's the Best or Greatest (Your "Favourite" would be a different mater entirely) western made, well then you need to back that up in the context of the other great westerns. Furthermore that's where the "Informed" (I never specifically said "smart") bit comes in, becuase you've got to watched and fully understood most of the considered best/greatest Westerns before you're even make that statement. I do love the old Paul Dini Batman work, and Kevin cinroy still does the perfect Batman voice, but personally The Dark Knight was more than just a Batman adaptation.

He isn't entitled to his opinion unless it's "a informed smart one" you say? That's BS. Even, If you don't think it was too good he obviously loved it, Hell I see people that loathe the Nolan batman's on the internet. And they make a point to a degree TDK, Is a GREAT crime movie with costumes. The best represntation of all these characters is Animated anyway to me. This is why Batman:TAS is still so highly thought of today.Hell there are probably people out there in this world that think Green Hornet is Epic, but if everyone loved exactly the same stuff world would be boring.

@Mauricio. "A new standard in superhero films"? Did you just not watch the first Superman film, The Dark Knight and Batman Begins, and to a lesser extent, X-Men 1& 2 , Iron Man 1, hell even the childishly adapted V for Vendetta or the pornographically adapted Watchmen and I don't know Dick Tracy? People really aren't entitled to their own opinions, but they are entitled to their own "informed" opinions.

I rather like this review. And it is quite funny that the girl (?) who's making all the noise and the 5 star reviews doesn't ge the joke, The reviewer is saying - Anus - that the reason this film is so bad is that it was made for people like you.

A great film. Greenlantern is fresh a new route for films base on comics books. an amazing job from actors and crew. beautiful. Greenlantern sets a new standard for upcoming superhero films thank you for such a great job.

Look at the names; Scotty McFanboy? Larry McLantern? Tommy Two Greens? Yeah, I think most of them are fake.

Oh goodness. From the sound of most of these comments, it looks like you guys might commit suicide if the movie actually turned out to be bad.

Even as a fan of Geoff Johns Green Lantern run, I'm surprised that Time Out even bothered with a whole three paragraphs, for a film that looks like utter dreck. The only real Hal Jordan for me would have been Dennis Quaid in the 80's. Why can't we have more sophisticated Dark Knight calibre comic to screen transitions? The source material isn't lacking.

Why do most of the comments on Time Out's film pages appear to emanate from teenage boys who are all SO INCREDIBLY ANGRY? The 23% rating on Rotten Tomatoes appears to back up Mr Uhlich's opinion. BUT OBVIOUSLY NONE OF THOSE LOSERS SAW THE FILM EITHER OR THEY WOULD HAVE GIVEN IT 100%. AT LEAST. There really ought to be a double caps lock to fully express my ire about everything in the world.
