I'm never usually one to pass up on an opportunity to tear 2011's Green Lantern to shreds, but if there was anything more derisory about the film, it would be its absolutely awful waste of talent.

The late Michael Clarke Duncan, Geoffrey Rush, and of course Mark Strong all excelled in the painfully brief moments of screen time they were given, and exemplifies just how bad the film was not just on its own, but for DC's wider efforts in creating a cinematic universe.Still, that didn't stop Strong in particular from turning in a great performance as the treacherous lantern - it's just a shame we won't be seeing more of him.
