That really does not matter much when you consider this is the rare super hero movie that is too geeky by introducing Parallax who in the comics is something of a very convoluted plot device, employed primarily to write Hal Jordan out of and back into the comics.(Looooooooooooooonng story.) Since simple is the best way to go in introductory chapters, a good versus evil storyline would have been the way to go instead of the whole willpower and fear thing. Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan was a great choice for the role of The Green Lantern, the character arc while helping you to understand the character of Hal Jordan. Compare that to the series premiere of "Farscape" when Crichton is simply told by his father to be his own kind of hero.Īlong those same lines, "Green Lantern" would have been better off starting on earth, not only because of less reliance on shaky special effects, but also to let Jordan be the audience's eyes as they are opened to the wonders of the universe. You wonder why when nobody asks if he is okay after the crash. Those daddy issues(and he's not the only one) are so bad that he has flashbacks at the worst possible moment of testing a new fighter jet. ![]() To be honest, the flaws with "Green Lantern" go deeper than the acting in its story of a man who needs therapy much more than a green power ring. That leaves it to Peter Sarsgaard to run away with the movie, even under that makeup. Plus, Angela Bassett being cast as Amanda Waller is nowhere near as cool as it sounds. And as Katherine Curtis pointed out, he would have been better off playing another Green Lantern, Guy Gardner. Its newest recruit, Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds), is the first human. ![]() Like I have said before, he lacks the necessary gumption to play the hero. Sworn to preserve intergalactic order, the Green Lantern Corps has existed for centuries. A casual observer might be led to believe that one of the reasons why "Green Lantern" is such a misfire has to do with the casting of Ryan Reynolds in the lead as cocky test pilot Hal Jordan and would not be entirely wrong. On paper, Green Lantern had an impressive cast.Ryan Reynolds was fresh off of making 317 million in box office receipts opposite Sandra Bullock in The Proposal, and had made a critically-lauded turn in 2010 thriller Buried, playing a man kidnapped in Iraq and buried underground for ransom. Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan / Green Lantern: A test pilot for the Ferris Aircraft Company whose will to act qualifies him to become the first earthman ever.
