In 2010 we got the news that Green Lantern was coming out for a 2011 release with Martin Campell attached to Direct with Ryan Reynolds Starring as Hal Jordan. In June of 2011 the movie arrived in US theaters to a flurry of bad reviews and weak Box Office numbers. Most fans were greatly dissapointed with the film because it had a weak Script, Acting was below par, and The fans believed that The wrong director was chosen to Helm the film.
I, for one thought Green Lantern was a good movie with many cheesy parts and a weak female lead(Blake Lively as Carol Ferris), The Villian that was Non-Climactic and Ugly (Skarsgard's Hector Hammond). This Film had a bright spot that made me think it is a good popcorn, summer fun movie. That bright spot was Ryan Reynolds. I loved that Reynolds Charisma he had for the role, He was a perfect Hal Jordan. Below are listed reasons of why I think Reynolds should be back with the emrald ring.
1. He had the cockiness of Jordan down. Looked like he took the attitude of the character right from the comic pages.
2. Audiences would get confused if WB brought in a new guy to play him. Then the movie would be looked at as a Too-soon reeboot. Sort of like TASM, which in it's own right was a great movie.
3. I would like to see him and Batman interact in a potential Justice League Film. It could be simalar to Iron Mans and Captain Americas interactions in The Avengers.
4. In the first film, reynolds was victim to a bad script(simalar to Brandon Routh and Superman Returns) give him a good script and he will give a great performance.
5. The dialogue between him and a Chris Pine flash in a Justice League film could be comedic relief gold.
6. He didnt have a good supporting cast in the first film(save, for Mark Strong's brilliant Sinestro) he tended to out-act everyone in a scene with him, again save for Mark Strong's Sinestro.
Recast most of the Characters except for Reynolds's HAL and Mark Strong's Sinestro
