In Brightest Day and in Blackest night…
For 80 years Green Lanterns has fought to protect our galaxy, and what great way to celebrate 80 years of our favorite Green Hero, by having watch along of his film! It may have not been a greatest film, but it’s still a good movie in my opinion.
So this Tuesday on May 26, please join me for the Green Lantern (2011) watch along.
So here’s how this work, while this movie is (sadly) not on DC Universe, If you have this movie on DVD, Blu-ray or on a streaming service with no commercials, put that on, and use your phone, computer or tablet to chat on this thread about the movie. We’ll start the film at 6:00pm PST/9:00pm EST.

If I may posit a theory as to one of the reasons why the mainstream audience had a negative reaction to this movie, I know of a guy online who’s first reaction to hearing Ryan Reynolds was playing Green Lantern was (roughly) “…and he’s gonna play Kyle Rayner or Guy Gardner, right? No! You’re gonna make him play Hal Jordan!?” Whether Geoff Johns likes it or not, most non comic fans who only know DC Comics through TV and movies see Green Lantern as a black guy because John Stewart was on the Justice League cartoon. So a lot of people were like “…wait, why are they white washing Green Lantern?”
That’s just one idea.

I think that a lot of people also did not like the movie because it is more message based. There are not many major fight scenes and the fight scenes that are in the movie are not very violent or “strong”. The movie teaches what it means to be a Green Lantern. In my opinion, the most important part of any superhero movie is the message/lesson that it provides. The inspiration. That’s why I really like Green Lantern!
