10 Beloved Comic Book Characters Movie Fans Hate
4. Green Lantern
At the time, there may have been some seriously credible thoughts going around at Warner Brothers Studios that Ryan Reynolds was the perfect fit to bring the foremost man to where the green ring of Earth's guardian, Hal Jordan, to the big screen.
Obviously, that didn't quite work out as well they hoped...
In a fantastic case of not as planned, everything about the film turned out to be just so bad that even the eternally loveable Reynolds was not spared the rod of wrath from the fans. Delivering an okay-ish performance amidst a mess of bad CGI, poor direction and dialogue, and a thoroughly underwhelming villain, leaving almost nothing recognisable about the beloved comic book character for the fans.
The fact that this was supposed to be a crucial part of expanding the DC universe into a franchise rivalling Marvel, only added extra salt to the wound and faith in the character appearing in the future has still not fully recovered after being axed from Zac Snyder's vision of Justice League, much to the further ire of the fans.
