Yahoo Movies Ryan Reynolds' infamous flop is now available to watch on Prime Video
Green Lantern, the poorly received 2011 superhero film starring Ryan Reynolds as the DC superhero, has been added to Prime Video for subscribers.
Directed by GoldenEye and Casino Royale's Martin Campbell, the film saw Reynolds' Hal Jordan discover a powerful ring that turns him into a spacefaring superhuman capable of creating anything he can imagine.
It underperformed at the box office, while critics and fans alike have called out its poor CGI, script, and other issues. Reynolds himself has poked fun at the film multiple times, including the first two Deadpool movies.

In 2021, the actor explained what he thought went wrong with the film, stating: "There were just too many people spending too much money.
"When there was a problem, [nobody would] say, 'Okay, let's stop spending on special effects and let's think about character. How do we replace this big spectacle thing – that isn't working at all – with something that's character-based?'"
"That just never [happened] – the thinking was never there to do that. To their credit, it's a very old-school way of looking at things. It's just 'Let's just keep spending our way through this.' And that was – it didn't work."

A new Green Lantern TV series starring Finn Whitrock and Jeremy Irvine as other Green Lanterns Guy Gardner and Alan Scott was in the works, but it has since been axed.
In its place is a different interpretation focusing on Hal Jordan again, as well as fellow Green Lantern John Stewart. This version will be part of James Gunn's new DC shared universe.
Green Lantern can now be streamed on Prime Video, as well as Netflix in the UK. In the US, it can be streamed via Max.
