How #ZackSnydersJusticeLeague ranks with every DC movie ever made:

Ranking the super hero movies..

32. Green Lantern (2011)

Comic fans always get in a tizzy when an adaptation doesn’t remain faithful to its beloved source material. The best argument against faithfulness in comics adaptation is Green Lantern, which crams a ton of mythology about DC’s intergalactic cops and their magical rings into its 114-minute runtime. Arguably, though, it packs too much in. You get to see Tomar-Re and Kilowog and Abin-Sur and Sinestro, but you barely learn anything about them, and they don’t leave much screen time for Ryan Reynolds’ Hal Jordan and his life on Earth before or during his transformation into Sector 2814’s protector. Peter Sarsgaard’s quite believable as Hector Hammond, a telekinetic monster with what appears to be a giant testicle growing out of his forehead; he is however not believable as a peer of Blake Lively, who plays Carol Ferris and is 16 years younger than Sarsgaard, even though their characters supposedly grew up together.

I think he has The Dark Knight Rises too high. This is a better movie than that one. Also the Donner Superman II should be higher.

I found Man of Steel better on rewatch if you remember that he isn't yet Superman and was doing the best he could do.

Batman v. Superman is better in the Ultimate cut.

Watchmen is one of my favorite movies so it would be higher that pretty much everything.

I think The Dark Knight is a little overrated. I could make the case that Batman Begins is a better Batman movie, but TDK is still a great movie.

Snyder made some questionable choices at the start and tried to cram too many story lines in, still his Superman trilogy is an entertaining ride, and I loved the four hours I spent with it last night instead of sleeping.

The movies are far more for the fanboy and fangirl than the general public. The trilogy gives a much different tone than Marvel movies and that is a good thing. Marvel controls the market on their approach. These are demigods walking among us. That is what Snyder set out to achieve. Not perfect but quite the ride.
