Green Lantern [Blu-ray]

Martin Campbell's cinematic adaptation of the Green Lantern comic book is something of a missed opportunity.  Despite plenty of fun comic-book-style action, creative art direction, and good casting, the film overreaches by trying to incorporate too many of the major characters and plot elements from the five decades of Hal Jordan Green Lantern comic book stories.  This bogs down the movie with constant exposition and ultimately results in many of these elements being given short shrift.  The film is presented on Blu-ray disc with video that occasionally stumbles over the dark cinematography, resulting in crushed blacks and a few instances of noise in shadowy areas of the image.  The lossless DTS-HD MA sound is near reference quality surround sound demo material.  Extras are satisfying in both quantity and depth, with a particular emphasis on the massive amount of design and effects work that went into producing the film.
