The 2011 Green Lantern film didn’t take the box office by storm but Ryan Reynolds irreverent take on test pilot Hal Jordon who is bequeathed a ring of limitless power just about saves the movie. His recital of the oath still makes the hairs on my neck stand up.

“IN BRIGHTEST DAY, IN BLACKEST NIGHT,
NO EVIL SHALL ESCAPE MY SIGHT.
LET THOSE WHO WORSHIP EVILS MIGHT,
BEWARE MY POWER, GREEN LANTERS LIGHT.“

Corny but somehow cool. His superhero comic timing also led to his second incarnation as a superhero, Deadpool, which did rather better at the box office.
