Once upon a time there was a universe entirely drawn on computer. It spawned a race of heroes known as the `Green Lanterns' who wore computer generated suits. However, a large computer generated baddie thing came along and they had to fight it. They imprisoned it on a computer generated planet at the edge of the galaxy until three computer generated survivors from a crippled computer generated spaceship accidentally set him free.
Cut to Earth where Ryan Reynolds plays a test pilot of a computer generated fighter jet. And, guess what, he ends up joining the team of computer generated Green Lanterns. He uses his cosmic ring to create an array of computer generated special effects in order to fight the computer generated baddie.Do you get where I'm going with this? 99% of this film is drawn on computers.
If you can get over this, you might like it. To be fair, the story's not bad - what you'd expect from a superhero film. The actors do their best with what you'd expect. I know it's been given a rough ride and it does have some stiff competition in the superhero movie leagues against the Marvel Avengers franchise, but it isn't as bad as you've probably heard it to be.
It'll never be the Dark Knight, but at least it won't be Daredevil.
Special mention to the scene where Ryan Reynolds takes his girlfriend to a bar one night - it's almost entirely filmed without the help of computer graphics!
7/10 if I woke up on Groundhog Day and had to watch this again, I could live with that
