He's an ambiguously...heroic hero.

Apart from having no particular reason to exist onscreen, especially at these prices, it's not half bad.
David Edelstein, New York Magazine/Vulture

The result makes the movie seem assembled from bits and pieces of other superhero yarns rather than existing on a plane of its own.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Rotten
The superhero genre is the home-court of the underdog, of skinny Peter Parkers and mutant outcasts, of heroes born from pain or ingenuity. In Green Lantern, the rich get richer.
Christopher Orr, The Atlantic
