Green Lantern (2011)

No one's reviewed this yet? Well, okay.

Like a lot of these origin movies, it spends a lot of time on back story and not enough on action. Once Hal Jordan obtains his mystical powers, however, it slips into high gear. Sometimes resembling Superman (and for once he is recognized, even with his "disguise"), this DC comic book adaptation has fun with the character's powers and I didn't end up resenting Ryan Reynolds more than I usually do. Definitely a helluva lot better than Thor and Transformers 3.
