Everyone talks about how Reynolds would have been a better Guy Gardner, but I don't think so. For one thing, his look resembles Hal a lot more than Guy. Secondly, when Gardner gets serious, he portrays more of a rugged toughness, which I dunno if Reynolds can pull off. He did fine in scenes that called for Hal to be serious. He was especially good in the finale of the battle with Paralax.

Finally, I think a lot of people are more familiar with post-rebirth Hal, who is a mature, veteran superhero. In the early days of GL though, he was arrogant and cocky which suits Reynolds perfectly.

So yeah, I don't think the casting was off. I don't think the movie deserves all the hate it gets either. I don't think it was even bad. There was just too many other hero flicks being released that were better, tbh.
