The Green Lantern (2011)Distributor: Warner Bros. PicturesProduction Budget: $200 millionDomestic Total Gross: $116,601,172Tagline: "In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight, let those who worship evil's might, beware my power, Green Lantern's Light."At the time of its premiere, Peter Travers called this film "comic movie hell." And while the set produced a one-dimensional superhero, it brought us a two-dimensional love story in the form of now married co-stars Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. Based on the DC Comics series, Lantern is tasked to defend mankind with his willpower alone. It's not to be confused with the Green Lantern theory of presidential power, which stipulates that the commander in chief should be able to bend the legislative branch to his or her will – though, to be fair, that hasn't worked recently, either.
