I didn't like the first trailer released. The second improved a little bit, but my expectations remained low.
Starting from there, now I can tell you I like it, and it remind me of the eighties style: The script, even when predictable -maybe because all this recent hero exposure we have had-, is simple and enjoyable, also thanks to both visual and sound effects. In the end we all want our happy ending and we get it. There are no unexpected twists, what you see is what you get.
Green Lantern, as a movie, is less complicated than Spiderman, Ironman or Batman (thank you, Chris Nolan). However, in this era of complex scripts and intricate characters, it's not so bad to have one who learns by getting hit, and who listens his mortal friends beside not being so conscious of the importance of hiding his alter ego.
Visual 3D effects are good, and if you are lucky to be in an updated movie theater, you will also enjoy fantastic sounds.
Beside that, there's the plus of watching Ryan Reynolds wearing the emblematic green suit…. And Blake Lively, who is also gorgeous (and an actress to follow).

On the other hand, is important to say this is no a movie for all audiences. You must be either a)Green Lantern fan, b)Superhero/comic fan, or c)Sci-Fi fan. If you are neither of those, you will attempt the risk -as it happened to my companion, Mrs. S-, to run away from the theater after watching all this galaxies and strange inhabitants appearing on the big screen.
It sucks? Not to me, but I'm a fan of all this fantasy movies and comic heroes. But the movie is not great. Is just OK, just to have a good time for almost two hours without expecting something dramatic or depth. Is popcorn-entertainment.
