![]() ![]() Their is one scene were all the green lanterns are having a conference of some sort. Although the human characters were interesting to an extent, It's the green lanterns that stole the show. As for the characters themselves, they were quite interesting. There was no real character that stood out for me as being well acted but it was still watchable. I'll admit, the acting wasn't that great. While this movie doesn't live up to the standards of "Captain America- The First Avenger" or the Nolan Batman Trilogy, this film is still quite enjoyable. It eventually falls on him to save the universe from Parallax and defeat him once and for all. He does, and becomes one of the green lanterns. ![]() He passes on the ring to the man, Hal Jordan, and tells him to speak the oath. His pod lands on earth and at the brink of death he is met by a man who was brought there by his power ring. He contacts the rest of the green lanterns and tells them who he encountered and that he will die. Parallax fatally wounds Abin but he narrowly escapes instant death in an escape pod. I ignore usually these kind of references) The plot goes like this Somewhere in the universe, a mighty force of nature called Parallax, who feeds on the fear of the universe, escapes custody by a green lantern warrior known as Abin Sur. (Note I do not believe in Millions of years, so i'm just going to leave it out of this review. ![]() however there is one film that is constantly battered by fans and movie goers alike. With high speed action, a good story and some great acting, who could blame it. Good for kids.Ĭomic book adaptations are quickly becoming one of the most popular movie genres of the modern era. They should have gone the extra expense to get some real box office stars. The ring may never make a mistake, but the casting director did. They spent a ton of money on special effects. While the Green Lantern is flying around impressing his former gf, mad scientist and son of a senator, Hector Hammond (Peter Sarsgaard) has been experimenting by injecting himself with microbes, which happen to be alien, creating the super villain for our super hero. This is mostly an introduction of the character. The movie spends a lot of time building background and lays the foundation for a multiple sequels. Parallax is introduced as the evil force which is "fear." As a Green Lantern lays crashed he releases his Green Lantern ring (force) to someone who doesn't know the meaning of the word "fear." Clearly that is Hal Jordon (Ryan Reynolds) who thinks he is Tom Cruise in "Top Gun" as he defeats 2 High tech pilot-less air craft by using a maneuver from Ironman. The power of the Green Lantern is given to those who do not know fear. The movie starts with a CG background science fiction origins of Green Lantern. Hal needs to become the hero that stops the monster and in the process earning his status. Unstopped it would destroy the universe as we know it. A large obstacle is the evil monster of sorts that is absorbing the energy of others and in the process growing more powerful. This of course provides the drama for Hal's quest to prove himself and become what our comic books refer to as the Green Lantern. All the other green lanterns are from races much older than the human race, and they doubt that an Earthling human has what it takes. Soon after he is pulled into the presence of a dying Green Lantern, who tells him "the ring has chosen you." When he is transported to the secret location, in a far corner of the universe, he is met with much skepticism. He is flying a test mission to help demonstrate the advantages of a new fighter plane when he pulls a very risky move and ends up destroying the plane. Ryan Reynolds is the focus as test pilot Hal Jordan. Here we get real people telling the story. Three months ago I watched the animated movie that covers essentially the same story, that of the hot-shot, sometimes irresponsible American test pilot that gets recruited into the Green Latern Corps, the several thousand who each have a sector of the universe to protect. ![]()
