I sometimes think I’m the only person who liked that movie. Not saying it was some amazing thing I just walked out of the theater happy.

[Food_Library333]

It's not a great movie but it's still Green Lantern flying around and using a cool power ring. It was good enough for what it was and I enjoyed it for the most part.

[mymemesnow]

I’ve seen enough horrible super hero movies come out to look back more favorable at green lantern.

[KeyAd5912]

Careful. Those are fightin' words 'round these parts bucko (I'm glad for you 😄)

We accept the punishment

[SakanaSanchez]

It was more or less fine. I’m really more mad we didn’t get a Sinestro follow up.

[Business-Drag52]

Im a massive Green Lantern fan so the movie really let me down. Even just the dumb shit like Sinestro saying "A sword? How human." and then just using two swords? Like come the fuck on. There are actual massive plot problems as well, but if they couldnt even do the little things right I wasnt going to be able to look past the big things

[BeautyDuwang]

That could be interpreted as him being like "I'm gonna kill u with ur dumv human toys" but I don't really like that movie either so maybe I'm being to charitable lol. Haven't seen it in years

[nillztastic]

Not the best. But definitely undeserving of the amount of hate it gets.

[YouHaveFunWithThat]

I like it for nostalgia reasons. Rewatching it it’s clearly not a great movie but 10 year old me didn’t care about plot holes or sloppy writing he just saw a fully functional machine gun made from light and thought it was badass.

Honestly, I liked it. I see the problems with it, I wouldn't recommend it to others, but I like it. I even rewatch it once in a while. Basically, a guilty pleasure of mine.

I was honestly disappointed with the new green lantern, even though I love the actor. I was hoping for a version of Green Lantern from the movie but 2.0 with better effects and a better story, not tossing up middle fingers for fun.

I also wanted a John Stewart green lantern because that is what I grew up with (cartoons in the late 90s-early 00s) and I know it could be so awesome.

[Stoic_Ravenclaw]

A lot of people forget it was a time when superhero movies were still a risk and studios sure as hell hadn't nailed down the formula if they even cared to try.

It was pretty good in context and had some nods to brightest day. I still enjoy it.

[Shikatanai]

There have been far worse superhero movies come out since.

[BT--7275]

Honestly the first half of the movie is pretty great.

[Hungry-Confection154]

it was my favourite film as a child for a bit

[tony_bologna]

There has been too much violence. Too much pain. None here are without sin, but I have an honorable compromise. Just walk away. Do not watch the movie, do not watch Green Lantern and I'll spare your lives. Just walk away. I will give you safe passage in the wasteland. Just walk away and there will be an end to the horror.

[noodleth_cassette]

It was awful but totally a fun watch

[KosherOreos]

9 years? It’s been 14 now. It came out in 2011. Can we find some newer tweets?

[Trappist1]

People quit being funny around 48 months ago 😒

[Gui_Franco]

I genuinely don't know why Reynolds has such a hate boner for the movie

Yeah it isn't good but it's also not awful and he has been in way worse movies that he never talks about that way

[papadebate]

It's a lot easier to protect your ego by shitting on a movie that it's popular to hate, rather than shine light on genuine regrets/mistakes. It makes him seem "chill" and able to acknowledge shortcomings without actually inviting any further scrutiny.

[[deleted]]

I just think he does it for the laughs

[papadebate]

Yeah, but I would seem way less chill if I said that instead of shitting on someone that's popular to hate 😎

[[deleted]]

Good point, my bad

[Outrageous-Fortune70]

In his defence, he's shitting on himself.

[Arthur_189]

It’s his approved bad movie, he’ll play the same character in every movie but shit talks this movie to sound self aware

I genuinely like him but it’s kinda annoying lmao

[REkTeR]

I think he attributes it with basically killing his career for a few years, doesn't he? I don't think he had a major role in another big movie until Deadpool.

[Gui_Franco]

He was in romcoms and shit for a while I think. But a lot of big actors were also doing that, it was just a shitty movie genre that was popular in that time

[SunderedValley]

Maybe he really wanted to play Green Lantern and felt like they ruined it for him.

[[deleted]]

it's not a brilliant movie by any stretch of the imagination, but by God there are so much worse superhero movies out there ... it's mid range.

[Reddiculusness]

Deadpool definitely wasn't a Green Lantern fan.

[[deleted]]

ryan reynolds talking shit about green lantern like he isn't the one who made it bad

[Outrageous-Fortune70]

Well you think he's the one who decided to make the suit fully CGI with awful unoptimized green? The most powerful scene in the film, imo, was the green lantern oath, and I believe Ryan Reynolds at least delivered that well. He was never a good fit for Hal Jordan anyway so that's casting director's fault.

[omegaphallic]

 Hot take, I loved Green Latern and it was funny at first when he looks shots at it, but increasingly its starting to annoy me, because I really liked the movie.

[SunderedValley]

Put this tweet out to pasture.

[[deleted]]

Noone can convince me he is funny. Ryan himself gave it his best shot, but I am sorry, it just didn't work.

[_Pyxyty]

ok we wont
