One of the most talked-about 2011 summer movies is Warner Bros.' "Green Lantern," based on the DC Comics superhero.
Ryan Reynolds stars as test pilot Hal Jordan, who comes into possession of a "power ring" of extraterrestrial origin. Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard, Mark Strong, Angela Bassett, Tim Robbins, Temuera Morrison, Jay O. Sanders, Taika Waititi and Jon Tenney co-star. Martin Campbell, director of "Mask of Zorro," "Casino Royale" and "Edge of Darkness" directs.
The official plot synopsis says:
In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds). Hal is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. But Hal is clearly the missing piece to the puzzle, and along with his determination and willpower, he has one thing no member of the Corps has ever had: humanity. With the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris (Blake Lively), if Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallax...he will become the greatest Green Lantern of all.
The movie is a 3D post-conversion from the studio that brought you "Clash of the Titans," the movie that gave 3D post-conversions a bad name right out of the starting box. The vastly superior results that Sony got with "Green Hornet" should give us hope that this green superhero will fare better than the Greek gods did.
