    He's good as Deadpool but to me, he was definitely not a Hal Jordan. He's too dorky.
    Armie Hammer resembles Hal Jordan from the comics far more. I hope that's who they eventually cast in the role if they're going to bring Hal back.

      Finally someone said it! His character was such a big dork I wanted the villain to full-on bully him.

        Ryan Reynolds is just a goofy guy naturally. I never saw Jordan as a goofy guy. Sure, he has a sense of humor but he's not goofy.
        He sure as hell isn't some scrawny dude with a black jew fro in the comics.

            I don't know if Ryan Reynolds gave the best interpretation of Hal Jordan (considering there was no working script, who can blame him), but he is leagues better actor than Armie Hammer.

              Doesn't matter if the script was poor (which it was) or if Reynolds is a better actor that Hammer overall.
              Ryan Reynolds is just not Hal Jordan. Some actors just don't suit certain roles no matter how good of an actor they are.

                I mean that's how they wrote the movie. It was too lighthearted and the villain just seemed wack, not surious enough for Hal to be serious

                  Yes he was. They also went too crazy with special effects and Cgi animated suit( which has been dissed hc). They seem to have learnt self control, so hopefully the new GL movie focuses on a good story and special effects are only used to compliment the story and acting.

                          I'm sure as hell glad they didn't.
                          Both MoS & BvS were a thousand times better than GL and don't even give me the critics said this and critics said that. Those SJW's lost all credibility long ago.

                            I have never seen the film so I will have to take your word on this one but do you think that the movie was good and Reynolds ruined it? Or was the movie destined to be terrible anyway and Reynolds did not help?

                              I think it could've had a better story, tone. Look up pictures of the villain towards the end of the movie as it's wreaking havoc on the citizens and try not to laugh.
                              Ryan Reynolds just made it even worse. It's not that he's a bad actor, I just think he was terrible choice for Hal Jordan.
                              Check out the animated film Green Lantern: First Flight sometime if you're ever bored. It's a much better movie.

                                  Armie Hammer would be fine but that seems safe and predictable at the same time. If they really wanna capture Hal Jordan's cockiness and charm, someone like Glenn Powell or Sam Claflin would be better.
                                  Whatever you are, be a good one.

                                        I think that's why Reynalds fit Deadpool better. His Hal was basically Wade from the begining of Xmen-origins and Deadpool from this year.

                                          You're going by someone with a resemblance to the character? Okay let's make a porn star Wonder Woman and Triple H Thor. Ryan Reynolds is just like Hal Jordan, the script just didn't show it. Hal Jordan is cocky and arrogant and cracks a lot of jokes, that's basically Ryan Reynolds. If he was in a GL movie with a great script it would have been perfect.
