I’m surprised at the vitriol that reviewers seem to have for this film. Could the entire industry just have been having a bad day? Because the movie, while far from the best thing ever, is also very far from the worst. One of the criticisms that I continually hear is that it’s too “formula” or “clichéd”. Of course it is: DC Comics invented the formula! The Green Lantern was created over 60 years ago – doing the source material any justice at all means painting-by-the-numbers to at least some extent.
