REVIEW: Green Lantern

 

Similar to Marvel’s ‘Thor’, released a couple of months ago, DC’s ‘Green Lantern’ isn’t exactly the easiest comic book property to adapt for the big screen. Having endured since 1940, the character is probably considered, in the shadow of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, to be the biggest alternative to DC’s holy trinity. Having successfully rebooted James Bond back in 2006 with the excellent ‘Casino Royale’, it was Martin Campbell’s task to bring the star trekking superhero to life for mainstream audiences. The results were unfortunately mixed at best.
