Movie Review: Green Lantern 1.5 stars

Ouch!  The dialog is so painful in this movie you almost yelp out loud after they say a line.   If the dialog wasn't bad enough, the entire story was boring, boring, boring.  Rather than wasting your money, if you want to have the same experience as sitting in the theater and watching this movie do the following:   Take a chair into your yard and stare at the lawn.  Watching that grass grow exceeds the excitement in Green Lantern.  That's not it though.  You need to get a neighborhood kid to poke you with a stick so you can feel the pain of the horrible dialog.

It's such a shame too that this movie is so bad.   I think Ryan Reynolds makes an excellent Green Lantern.  Peter Sarsgaard is always a great evil villain.  The special effects were well done.  Unfortunately, they hired a crew of four hacks to throw together a script together.   With a science fiction movie you can do ANYTHING so why they put together such a lame story show a lack of imagination and ability.
