It's not just us moviegoers who regret paying money to see the Green Lantern movie; it turns out that the director himself, Martin Campbell, regrets ever attempting a comic book movie and stated the following when interviewed by Screenrant:

"No, I'm not good at superhero movies. Green Lantern? People didn't like that movie, and frankly, I shouldn't have done it. I did it because I've never done one. You work just as hard on the movies that really are not successful as you do on the ones that are. I think there are people better qualified than me to do a superhero movie."

Campbell is responsible for fan and critical favourites such as Casino Royale, Goldeneye and The Mask of Zorro, among others. Is Green Lantern as bad as they say it is? What do you think?
