Reaction: We were expecting big numbers given Tom Cruise marking his first superhero role in the film, but we're still surprised by just how massive of a success this film turned out to be, becoming the 5th highest grossing film from the studio (and the only non-sequel to crack the top 5).
"I went into this one with high expectations. While it wasn't a train-wreck like a certain Ryan Reynolds-led film, I couldn't help feeling mostly empty by the end of this one. Green Lantern Corps has big stars and a massive budget, but it felt like the film equivalent of cotton candy - fluffy and empty. Maybe my expectations were too high." - Chris Knowles, TV Guide
"As expected from a Tom Cruise-Christopher McQuarrie collaboration, the action sequences are big and exciting. The film despite its length, moves along at a quick and fun pace." - Allen Poole, AV Club
"Despite having to set-up the existence of Green Lanterns to the DC Comics Universe, the script by APJ never gets too bogged down with exposition. Despite some thin characterization at times from the script, stars like Tom Cruise, John Boyega and Luke Evans are able to do a lot with what they are given." - Joel Sapperstein, Las Vegas Review-Journal

Rated PG-13 for intense sci-fi action sequences, scenes of peril and some language
