Green Lantern—Ryan Reynolds—emphasizes the importance of the ring a Green Lantern wears and also the fact that Green Lanterns do not singularly act or just act with power on earth. This movie is a suitable watch with suitable portrayal and presentation. The makeup is really great and the special effects are good.

Buy a
ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Yes. Overall, this
is a suitable watch, tells a good story, and has suitable acting.
If— unusually kind and gentle—earns its watch recommendation. Its poignant reminder that everyone needs their childhood imaginary friend all through life is sweetly delivered and can be well received. Director John Krasinski (A Quiet Place and A Quiet Place Part 2) also acts in the movie along with Cailey Fleming, Ryan Reynolds and Fiona Shaw. It's a complicated watch that more than deserves its addition to the home video library. Be aware there is a bit of 'language' that may need some editing before watching as a family share. This is a terrific example of a movie that provides good, after viewing discussion time.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Yes. This movie rates high on the creativity scale and has been exceptionally well-written. Do a reading of the plotline and perhaps a little research into imaginary friends before diving in to watch. It's a high level share movie that works for the whole family...no time to go get popcorn as the movie completely engages the intellect and relies on multiple flash-back scenes to tell the story. Good work for all who cooperatively produced this highly needful movie.
Free Guy—fresh, creative, and fun—shows Ryan Reynolds in some of his better works as he thoroughly plumbs his role as ‘Guy’. The script is complicated and the conclusion takes some thought to understand what truly happened in this story. The movie more than earns its watch time and monetary investment. Great concept movie.

good watch.
