The movie I chose to review is The Green Lantern. This movie is your basic superhero movie. Hal, played by Ryan Reynolds, is the main character who starts off in the movie as an irresponsible pilot who is ‘chosen’ by the ring, becoming a green lantern superhero. By wearing the ring, Hal is able to create anything he sees in his mind and make it solid. But with powers, comes villains. Hal needs to defeat the villain Parallax, the only way to beat fear is with Will. The protagonist of the movie is played by Ryan Reynolds. He was very well casted for this role because he brings a care free feeling to the movie until he buckles down and gets stuff done. Also Ryan Reynolds has the face of a superhero, he is beautiful. Hal is motivated by a girl named Carol, who he has relations with, to stick with the ring and save the world. A theme we should take away is that responsibility can be found in everyone. The rotten tomato critics said “Noisy, overproduced, and thinly written, Green Lantern squanders an impressive budget and decades of comic’s mythology” which I strongly disagree with. I think that The Green Lantern is a very well run movie and has a basic superhero plot. This movie is another amazing movie that I enjoyed watching very much and would advise others to view as well.
