Sworn to preserve intergalactic order, the Green Lantern Corps has existed for centuries. Its newest recruit, Hal Jordan, is the first human to join the ranks. The Green Lanterns have little regard for humans, who have thus far been unable to harness the powers of the ring each member wears. But Jordan, a gifted and cocky test pilot, may be the corps' only hope when a new enemy called Parallax threatens the universal balance of power.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Noisy, overproduced, and thinly written, Green Lantern squanders an impressive budget and decades of comics mythology.

Keith Uhlich Time Out 01/22/2024
2/5
Whenever this Lantern returns to terra firma (too often), its imaginative flights are ground down under the Warner overlords’ demographic-pandering heels. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
All the prancing about on a galaxy far far away where Hal [Ryan Reynolds] meets the other Green Lanterns, and the wise ancients, and a gigantic gruff sergeant-type who learns him his ropes is all a bit of a bore. Go to Full Review

1.5/4
Overcoming a personal tragedy, defeating various villains, and discovering his powers with a trendy soundtrack to guide his way, Reynolds’ Hal Jordan is plain as can be, even offensive in an age where this genre has elevated itself with dynamic films... Go to Full Review

Tony 04/15/2022 I love the GL, this was an ok film. See more Joseph Tutorials T @OSCGJoseph 3h biggest head of all time ugliest guy i have ever seen tree legs 68% See more Christina V @christinavosilla Jul 29 Not my favorite Marvel See more Omer S @Moviegoder Jul 20 Is it overheated? Yes. Is it good? No. See more diogo13 T @Tua_mera Jul 12 Uma enorme desilusão que falha em quase todas as frentes. A história de origem do Hal Jordan é arrastada, o argumento é raso e os vilões são completamente esquecíveis e sem ameaça real. Para piorar, os efeitos visuais são péssimos para o orçamento que o filme teve; o fato digital do Lanterna Verde tem um aspeto artificial e bizarro que distrai o espectador constantemente. Ryan Reynolds tenta trazer alguma energia à personagem, mas o material é tão fraco que a experiência se torna penosa e sem qualquer alma.
