Phenomenal green lantern 

Of the available green heroes, the Incredible Hulk, Kermit the Frog or even Al Gore seems more likely to carry a movie than Green Lantern. But the third-string DC Comics character has nonetheless been selected to hold the super-being turf at the world's megaplexes for a few weeks, between "X-Men: First Class" and "Captain America: The First Avenger." "Green Lantern" is capable of doing that, although it's neither amusing nor exciting enough to ensure a long-running franchise.

Like Captain America, Green Lantern is a "Golden Age" comics hero, debuting in 1940 -- a simpler time for strong-jawed do-gooders. The character has been reconceived many times since, and this version is largely based on a 2004-05 update. But the premise still seems as musty as a dog-eared pulp magazine: Earth's Lantern is one of thousands of intergalactic cops who wear magic rings that draw their juice from "the emerald energy of willpower." Strong and resolute, these are the sort of champions who can resist snacking between meals.

The latest contender for emeraldhood -- who's introduced after a blandly cosmic prologue narrated by Geoffrey Rush -- has the courage thing down. Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds) is a bad-boy test pilot, forever striving to be as brave as the top-gun father he saw incinerated by exploding jet fuel.

Yet Hal doesn't seem the hero type, exactly. A self-described "total screw-up," he's personally unreliable and emotionally unavailable, even to longtime love/hate interest Carol Ferris (Blake Lively). A fellow test pilot, Carol is an executive at her father's aeronautics company. (All the movie's major characters have daddy issues.) She's the kind of desk jockey who routinely wears sexy cocktail dresses to the office.

Half of "Green Lantern" transpires in CGI-created outer space, and yet this is the type of movie where all the central players are close at hand. Not only is Hal's true love an office mate; so is his potential adversary, Hector Hammond (Peter Sarsgaard), an eccentric "xenobiologist" who labors at the Ferris complex. (To add a dash of political discontent, Hector's father is a smarmy U.S. senator, played by a condescendingly grinning Tim Robbins.)

Hal and Hector are thrown together -- and into opposing camps -- when a spaceship crashes on the edge of town. Inside is a dying Lantern whose ring selects Hal to be its new owner and thus the champion of this sector of the galaxy. But the wounded alien is infected with the evil of the Green Lantern Corps's greatest enemy, Parallax. This blobby ever-changing monster is fueled by "the yellow power of fear," which is almost as frightful as the movie's other nemesis: the gray power of boredom. A bit of the icky yellow infects Hector, who becomes disfigured with fury and resentment and suffused with campy theatricality. read more
