My OperaGreen Lantern - quickie review

"Green Lantern": Not so much bad as just plain bland and filled with sadly missed opportunities.
Still, I chuckled at some of the jokes, and when it tried to be visually pretty it managed it well (but the 3D is once again completely pointless for the enjoyment of a movie which flaunts the attribute), and for a novice at the comics (I mostly know GL from animated movies and ditto series) they seemed to have the universe of it all pretty faithfully down.
In sum, I don't regret buying the ticket, if barely, and I will watch a sequel - albeit with very low expectations.
