![]() It didn't have as much action as i thought it would have or would have liked but it still was satisfying. The battle at the end with Parallax is definitely worth seeing. There are some impressive action scenes to sink your teeth into. Although there are plenty of scenes of this power, I thought it was under used Sometimes all they did was fire balls of green energy at their enemies which I thought was a waste. This is an interesting concept and is far more diverse to other superheros. For example, you can think of a massive artillery gun and it would appear right beside you. One of the most interesting things about the green lanterns is the power to make thought reality. However, like the other guy (Who's name escapes me), Parallax lacks motive for what he does other than the fact he needs fear to become more powerful. There are some scenes were he is tearing through the city eating everything in his path. His motives for his actions were uninteresting making some of the "intence" scenes a little tedious, but this is a minor fault.Parallax is more impressive. Halfway through the film a scientist gets infected by the power source of Parallax, corrupting him into a monstrous creature that can control objects with his eyes. The villain, I thought, is what brings the film down a notch. I won't spoil, But green Lantern fans will like it, If they didn't like the movie itself. The movie's ending tells you that there is another movie coming. It's nothing more than the normal super-hero origin story, with a couple of unorthodox plot lines. The story isn't to special, but it is interesting. Props to the designers for creating some brilliant looking creatures. Each one looks different and unique I actually pause at this part to see what other strange beings i missed inn the first viewing. There are so many green lanterns that sometimes all you see is green. ![]() 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 movie, I enjoyed it.Ĭomic book adaptations are quickly becoming one of the most popular movie genres of the modern era. ![]() 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. ![]()
