5. Ryan Reynolds As Hal Jordan in Green Lantern
Ryan Reynolds delivered a performance in
Green Lantern that was likely the very best thing about a film that was literally bad on a cosmic scale. Just because Reynolds could squeeze out some small bit of good from this nightmare of a film though, it does not mean that he was cast well. Remember the fan fiction trailer released well before a Green Lantern film was announced? I immediately fell in love with the idea of Nathan Fillion as Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern. Remember how he went from an easy going, joke-heavy bank robber in the beginning of Serenity to a serious soldier bent on saving a bar full of people in a moment? That was great! Now this is no knock to Ryan Reynoldshe does well as a cocky hero type, comedies, and even romantic films, but there is no universe where he should be wearing a green suit and reciting the oath of the Green Lantern Corps. Although he did seem to fair well against a giant evil poop cloud. Who They Should Have Cast: Nathan Fillion

Greetings all! If you are reading this, you probably want to know a thing or two about me. I am indeed a 28 year old dude from Oregon, I'm happily married, and I am a creative professional that does graphic design and photography to try (keyword is try) to make money in this crazy world we live in. I'm totally insane about film and the arts, and I have some pretty strong political/religious/social opinions as well. I draw quite a bit of inspiration from film, and often use it as a lens for viewing the world. On this site, you’ll catch me writing about a variety of, well, stuff, and you can agree, disagree, or be indifferent, but any way you look at it, I love a good argument (I forgot to mention that I studied philosophy for two years, so argumentation, as long as it is good, gets me all excited). Happy blogging to all!
