Uh-oh.
Writing in this morning’s edition of The Washington Post, critic Mark Jenkins says the new “Green Lantern” vehicle is “passable, plausible and none-too-illuminating.”

The suits at DC/Warners better hope that the willpower of fanboys and casual theater-goers is stronger than the critics, or this one will disappear faster than the Hal Jordan/Spectre thing from a few years back.

Here’s the key part of the review:
“Of the available green heroes, the Incredible Hulk, Kermit the Frog or even Al Gore seems more likely to carry a movie than Green Lantern. But the third-string DC Comics character has nonetheless been selected to hold the super-being turf at the world’s megaplexes for a few weeks, between “X-Men: First Class” and “Captain America: The First Avenger.” “Green Lantern” is capable of doing that, although it’s neither amusing nor exciting enough to ensure a long-running franchise.”
