Star Ryan Reynolds is making his move into the more fitting role of DEADPOOL this week, but in case you want to revisit the better-off-forgotten first attempt at a major superhero role, we take a pass at 2011’s GREEN LANTERN in this month’s Movie CliffsNotes. Director Martin Campbell took a swing with this superhero adaptation that failed to connect with audiences, due largely to some fairly ho-hum effects, a goofy story, and a severe lack of action or imagination. While Reynolds is hardly the one to shoulder the blame, GREEN LANTERN no less stained the star for a bit, who has thankfully traded the ring for the chimichanga in the role he was born to play with DEADPOOL.
Enjoy!
Ryan Reynolds puts GREEN LANTERN in the grave this week when DEADPOOL opens on Friday.
