Movie Review Cop-Out: "Green Lantern"

I haven't got time or energy to waste on this miserable disappointment today (Nerdpocalypse Now calls).  Let me direct you to this hilarious takedown instead for now.  Oh, there's a slight language warning -- a wee bit of profanity in the cause of comedy, natch.  Look, if you want a comic book superhero movie that's actually worth the price of admission, for goodness sake go watch "X-Men: First Class."  It actually has (a) a villain that didn't make me laugh out loud at its over-the-top CGI ridiculousness, (b) a hero who isn't largely a jerk, and (c) a thing that baffles most of Hollywood, a mystical Holy Grail-like wonder called "character development."
