Actor Ryan Reynolds has always been pretty frank about his feelings on 2011's critically-panned Green Lantern film. Although he later saw a lot of critical and commercial success with 2016's Deadpool, Green Lantern was a low-point in Reynolds's career and is a continuing sore spot for the actor.

In a profile in the New York Times, Reynolds called the film "the hair shirt I'll wear." However, Reynolds did mention that he enjoyed making the infamous film -- even if its failure, which resulted from focusing on spectacle rather than character, didn't come as much of a surprise to the actor.

Earlier this week, Reynolds mentioned in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that he hasn't actually seen "the full final version of Green Lantern."

"I saw a very late stage rough cut of the film," he said. "Now, that isn’t to say that I didn’t want to see it because I didn’t like it. I have movies that have been received pretty well that I haven’t seen, and then I have movies that I have seen 100 times that people don’t like but I just like. The Green Lantern [joke in Deadpool] to me is just sort of, I don’t know, kind of fun. It’s me just taking the piss out of me, but it’s more Wade [Deadpool’s real name] though.”

Green Lantern only grossed $219.9 million against a budget of $200 million. The movie was not well-received critically and currently holds a 26% on Rotten Tomatoes. Although Warner Bros. had originally intended to make a sequel, plans were cancelled after the movie's abysmal performance.
