Green Lantern was released in 2011 to mostly negative reviews, and while mistakes were definitely made with the DC Comics adaptation, is it really as bad as some claim? However you happen to feel about the movie, there's no denying that Ryan Reynolds did the best job he possibly could as Hal Jordan.
Even now, many fans would like to see him return to that role (hence why there was so much excitement about him possibly appearing in Zack Snyder's Justice League), but the actor is a little too busy playing Deadpool right now. Regardless, Reynolds had never actually watched Green Lantern, but cracked open a bottle of Aviation Gin to do so for the first time last night.
What followed was an unmissable thread of Tweets which saw Reynolds highlight some of the movie's sillier moments, while also praising actors like Angela Bassett and the late Michael Clarke Duncan.
Ultimately, he concluded by saying, "Maybe it’s the Aviation Gin talking, but #GreenLantern was nothing to fear! Hundreds of incredible crew and cast members did amazing work - and while it’s not perfect, it ain’t a tragedy. Next time I won’t wait a decade to watch."
