(Running time: 105 Minutes) Rated PG-13
Starring: Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard, Tim Robbins
Another D.C. Comics movie hit the theaters this weekend with Ryan Reynolds as the reluctant hero, Hal Jordan.
Hal is a pilot, a test pilot, like his dad, his hero, who died in a plane explosion when Hal was a boy. Hal is a confident guy but a bit of a screw-up. He blew his relationship with the daughter of the plane company owner.
Meanwhile, in outer space a legion of planet protectors is born. They name themselves the Green Lanterns. One dies as his plane plummets to Earth. Hal finds him and the magic ring finds Hal, who becomes the next Green Lantern.
The bad guy from outer space is a huge, horrible looking creature who comes to Earth. A scientist gets “infected” by the alien who dies on Earth and also becomes a bad guy (Sarsgaard).
Things get complicated but the story in interesting, the fight scenes are exciting and it ends happily, leaving room for a sequel. I saw it in 3D and which didn’t make a huge difference in the movie, only in the admission price. There was a subplot about father and son hatred between the scientist and his father. I’m so tired of father/son issues in movies. Hey, male screenwriters get thee to a shrink and fix thyself…and stop putting your hang-ups in movies!
Green Lantern has violence but no blood, the opening scene shows Hal waking up in bed with a woman he doesn’t know well, a little swearing but not much. I enjoyed Green Lantern and recommend it for kids age 11 and up, not prone to nightmares as the creature is scary.
