Super Hero




GREEN LANTERN-2011-I don't really think the people who made this flop adaptation of the cool DC comics superhero (this version created by Gil Kane and John Broome) really knew what they were doing. 

Ryan Reynolds (X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE) is Hal Jordan, a reckless pilot who becomes Earth's green guardian after the original is killed. He has a lantern and says the famous phrase: "In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight, let those who worship evil's might, beware my power, Green Lantern's light".

They even throw in a few other alien Lanterns and their little bosses The Guardians. Mark Strong (KICK-ASS) is Sinestro and Blake Lively helps bog things down as Jordan's love interest. Tim Robbins and Angela Bassett are also in it. 

GL must face a super being called Parallax, who lives on fear but somebody forgot to tell director Martin Campbell (THE MARK OF ZORRO, two James Bond movies, EDGE OF DARKNESS) he was making a movie about a comic book superhero not SFX laden science fiction talk fest which is what this is.

When are they gonna do a movie version of Bwana Beast? 

Thanks for reading!
