In a mysterious universe, the Green Lantern Corps, an elite defense force of peace and justice have existed for centuries. Reckless test pilot Hal Jordan acquires superhuman powers when he is chosen by the Ring, the willpower-fed source of power. Reluctantly at first, he takes on the challenge after the death of Abin Sur, the finest Green Lantern. Putting his self-doubts aside, and spurred on by his sense of duty and love for his beautiful, intellectually equal, colleague, Carol Ferris, he is soon called to defend mankind from Parallax, a powerful, evil being who feeds on fear. Hal Jordan is the universe's last chance, as many Green Lanterns have been killed and the Corps is weakened. And he might just be the right Green Lantern for the duty of keeping the world safe from harm.
The Guardians of the Universe have divided the universe into 3,600 space sectors, each one protected by one powerful Green Lantern, selected among fearless beings and supplied by a ring fed by the willpower from the planet Oa. When the evil force Parallax that is fed by fear destroys several Green Lanterns, Abin Sur flees in his spacecraft but crashes on Earth. Mortally wounded, his green ring seeks out a successor for him and finds the reckless but efficient test pilot Hal Jordan. Hal Jordan learns about the Green Lanterns and is bestowed with the powers of the ring. Meanwhile, scientist Hector Hammond is summoned to conduct an autopsy of Abin Sur and is possessed by Parallax. Hal Jordan is insecure about his fears and uses his powers for the first time in a party to save the life of people from a Ferris Aircraft helicopter damaged by Hector and later he discloses his identity to his former colleague Carol Ferris, who is the beautiful daughter of Carl Ferris and his love. When Parallax threatens Earth, the Green Lantern Hal Jordan is the last hope to defend his planet from destruction.
I really wanted to like this movie. It just, in my opinion, was awfully done.<br/><br/>-The 3d effects were awful. Maybe if I&#39;d seen it in 2d I would&#39;ve stayed in my seat longer, but in reading one review it said the opening sequence about the beginning of the universe was worth admission alone. I don&#39;t think so. Anyway, throughout, the screen was dark, at many times I wondered &quot;What am I wearing these glasses for, there doesn&#39;t seem to be 3d&quot;, nothing was coming out of the window and there wasn&#39;t much depth.<br/><br/>-Ryan Reynolds doesn&#39;t play the f*&amp;# up too well. Plus, how can he have no fear and be a test pilot for a huge company while at the same time being so irresponsible. And overall he looked weird in this movie. He was off his game.<br/><br/>-Also, as I&#39;m not big on GL&#39;s backstory, I thought, &quot;Am I going to have to remember all of this different space stuff or can I dismiss it?&quot; This might seem stupid, but I thought this movie would be more grounded. I thought the space stuff would just set up GL&#39;s powers and then we&#39;d be on earth for most of the time. It so happens that the only GL stories I&#39;ve read are like that (older stuff). Now, after I left, maybe that was the case, maybe. And maybe that could have only given us just another superhero movie with different power sets, but I think audiences would&#39;ve liked it.<br/><br/>-Too much CGI. And it didn&#39;t feel like good CGI. Even the beginning, on that lost planet. All of those characters looked goofy, too cartoony. The point of no return was when GL was walking around in his uniform for the first time on that CGI planet. He didn&#39;t even look human. His whole body looked CGI. And he was so buff he almost looked like a lady–with breasts and a big butt. Even when it wasn&#39;t necessary, there was CGI in this movie. When GL first touched the lantern and his face and eyes got all wonky? Goofy, not cool.<br/><br/>-Character design. First, let me say that I love the GL uniform (except for the nose bit). It would&#39;ve looked better had the people in them looked better, but they didn&#39;t. The bird/fish guy was just insanely goofy looking. And the guardians looked like wizened old smurfs. And Sinestro? He looks like the devil, his name&#39;s Sinestro, and we&#39;re supposed to believe he&#39;s a good guy? (Although, that guy was a great actor–great voice.) Overall, I think these characters and the CGI sets worked against this movie. It was hard to take anything seriously.<br/><br/>-Too much exposition. Why didn&#39;t they interest us in the characters first. Like Hal and Carol. The space stuff should&#39;ve been toned down, and been part of a larger arc, maybe culminating in the third film, while GL dealt with more earth-based problems.<br/><br/>-Poorly written: even the human drama was poorly done in this movie. The family history of the Jordans was overwrought, as was the family dynamic at the birthday party. Poorly executed: it seems like whenever this movie should&#39;ve taken a right, direction-wise, it took a left.<br/><br/>At that scene on the CGI planet O I asked my boyfriend if he wanted to leave, and he said yes. Outside, I asked him at what point did he first think of leaving. Right away, he said. I couldn&#39;t help but agree. (And I usually like space stuff–like Trek.) As a comic book nut, I&#39;m depressed. Even if Captain America does well, GL&#39;s bombing will affect the future of comic book movies. There goes ever seeing some of the B-list characters in the DCU. Or, maybe not. Hopefully, all the guys and gals who make movies and write about movies will realize–audiences aren&#39;t sick of comic book movies, we&#39;re sick of bad comic book movies.<br/><br/>For any disappointed GL fans, you might feel the way I did after seeing X3. But, I never guessed then that in just a few years later we&#39;d have X-Men First Class. So don&#39;t despair, you never know what can happen. Maybe GL will do overseas and there will be a sequel, and it will be a great, great movie.
The only redeeming quality about this movie is Ryan Reynolds. Well, that and Blake Liveley with dark hair (looks good).<br/><br/>I&#39;m not sure what I was thinking by renting it, but I damn sure I want my 1.99 back from Redbox. I honestly couldn&#39;t wait for this movie to be over. Obviously the basis for the storyline was already written, but the stuff in between…horrible.<br/><br/>I&#39;m guessing, and correct me if I&#39;m wrong, that the only people that genuinely like this movie are comic book fans. To be 100% honest, this movie just plain sucks (sorry Ryan). The writing is terrible and I didn&#39;t believe or care about any of the characters.<br/><br/>Again, I&#39;m sorry to those who did like it, but this is my honest review.
Well, Green Lantern isn't "Jonah Hex" bad. But it's silly enough to be part of the same "silliest Warner Brothers comic book summer movies of all time" conversation.
The film is based on the comic book character, Green Lantern, published by DC Comics. The story is based on Green Lantern: Secret Orign. The film follows the same basic story and most of the events of Secret Origin though it features Parallax instead of Atrocitus. To date, there have been seven human Green Lanterns in the comics. The first Green Lantern is the Golden Age superhero Alan Scott. Scott was an engineer who found a magic green lantern made from a meteor. He made a ring that allowed him to tap the powers of the &quot;Starheart&quot;. He originally had no connection to the Green Lantern Corps, but it was later stated his lantern is from the Corps&#39; early days and is an honorary member. His weakness is wood. The second Lantern is the Silver Age Hal Jordan. This was the first human Lantern in the Corps, the intergalactic police force seen in the film. All members of the Corps are vulnerable to the yellow impurity (derived from Parallax being imprisoned in the Central Battery on Oa) though they can overcome it with enough experience and courage. The third is the Bronze Age Guy Gardner. He was Abin Sur&#39;s ring&#39;s second choice but farther away than Jordan, and later became Jordan&#39;s backup. He was removed from the Corps but later readmitted as an Honor Guard training new recruits. The fourth is fellow Bronze Age John Stewart, one of DC&#39;s first African-American superheroes. He was an architect and marine who replaced a comatose Gardner as Jordan&#39;s backup. When Jordan resigned from the Corps John was the regular Lantern. He now serves alongside Jordan as his regular duty partner and later with Rayner after the Blackest Night event as an Honor Guard and Gardner following the New 52 reboot. The fifth is Modern Age Kyle Rayner. Rayner was an artist who was chosen by the last Guardian of the Universe after the Parallax-possessed Jordan destroyed most of the Corps. He was possessed by Ion, the green equivalent to Parallax, and later by Parallax. He then was partnered with Gardner and later Stewart as an Honor Guard. The sixth Lantern is the Modern Age Jade, the daughter of Alan Scott. She had the same powers as her father, though without the need for a ring or lantern. During this time she was also vulnerable to wood. After her resurrection, she joined the Corps and was given a ring. The seventh and final Green Lantern Simon Baz was introduced during the relaunched Green Lantern series after the New 52 reboot. Simon is an Arab-American who has faced persecution because of the Arab peoples connection to 9/11 and was a minor league criminal and suspected terrorist that was falsely accused before the ring that Sinestro had before he and Jordan were apparently murdered by the Guardians had chosen him as its next wielder and Baz decided to work on turning over a new leaf after becoming a Green Lantern. As of the &quot;New 52&quot; continuity there are currently five human lanterns Jordan, Gardner, Stewart, Rayner, and Baz, with both Alan Scott and Jade no longer in existence. However, a younger version of Alan Scott is being used as part of DC&#39;s &quot;Earth 2&quot; continuity which is cast in an alternate universe. The movie focuses on the second Lantern introduced, Harold &quot;Hal&quot; Jordan. The producers briefly considered making the movie about Scott. But Jordan is more popular and introduced the greater Green Lantern mythology. Scott was in early versions of the Jordan-centered movie but eventually written out. Gardner was in the script as a small role with potential to be expanded, but not included in the movie. Former marine and current actor/model Nick Jones was rumored to play Stewart in a cameo, but the movie makes no mention of Stewart. Yes, but not at the end of the credits. It occurs after the animated credits are shown and before the scrolling credits. Sinestro puts on a yellow ring, and his green lantern suit turns to yellow. It is not explained in the film but the colour yellow is the Achilles heel of Green Lanterns. In the older versions of the comics the colour yellow is the Green Lantern&#39;s weakness. However, this will most likely not be covered. The point of the yellow suit is that Sinestro has succumbed to the power of fear. Will is Green, Fear is Yellow, and Sinestro will most likely be the main antagonist of the next movie if it is made using fear as his weapon rather than Will. In the comics, Sinestro takes the yellow ring and creates a &quot;Sinestro Corps&quot;, because he thinks the power of fear is stronger. He also feels betrayed and missunderstood by the guardians. No, Green Lantern is a monocular-to-binocular conversion. It was originally filmed in regular/2D, but during post-production, the decision was made for the film to be post converted into Digital 3D. The additional budget for the film during post-production included 3D effects added to the film at the last minute. Before this movie was released, it was stated that a sequel was being developed by writer Michael Goldenberg. On June 26th, 2011, a top studio source told The Hollywood Reporter (THR) that Warner Brothers had given the green light to a sequel despite being &quot;somewhat disappointed&quot; by the first movie&#39;s results. The next day, a studio spokesman told THR that no decision had been made. In the ensuing years, there had not been any further developments. The reference made to a green-colored superhero in Deadpool (2016) starring Green Lantern star Ryan Reynolds left the impression that he wouldn&#39;t be interested in returning to the role of Hal Jordan (though it might be more of a matter of whether a real costume were made and worn instead of the widely-criticized, post-production digital effects approach being taken). When it was announced in August that a fourteen minutes longer extended cut was to be released fans hoped that it could improve the movie. Unfortunately, the result is rather disappointing. A comparison showed that the difference is only 9 minutes and 33 seconds (excluding credits). The additional scenes are also only plot scenes that do not improve the movie, its story or main characters. There is no more action, relevant new story elements or a deeper insight in Hal Jordan and his problems. Nonetheless one can find a very detailed comparison between both versions with pictures here.
