Green Lantern Storyline
In a universe where peace is maintained by an intergalactic police force known as the Green Lantern Corps, a new hero must rise. When a dying alien named Abin Sur crash-lands on Earth, his mystical green ring seeks out a new bearer — test pilot Hal Jordan. Chosen for his ability to overcome fear, Hal becomes the first human ever inducted into the Corps.
As Hal struggles with his responsibilities and self-doubt, a new cosmic threat emerges: Parallax, a fear-driven entity threatening to consume the universe. With Earth in its path and the Corps hesitant to intervene, Hal must learn to harness the ring’s power, conquer his fears, and prove he’s worthy of the mantle of Green Lantern.

Green Lantern Review - 5/10 Rating
Green Lantern had massive potential, with rich cosmic lore and one of DC’s most powerful heroes at its center. Ryan Reynolds gives a charismatic performance, but the film suffers from uneven pacing, an overuse of CGI, and a lack of emotional depth. While some action scenes and world-building are enjoyable, it never fully lands the heroic weight or narrative ambition it aims for.
We rated this 5/10 — it’s not without charm, but it definitely feels like it was missing something. A better villain, stronger script, and more practical effects could’ve made this a game-changer. Instead, it remains a missed opportunity.
Green Lantern Trivia
Did You Know?
- A Decade in Development: The film went through years of rewrites, with multiple scripts and directors attached before Martin Campbell (of Casino Royale fame) took the helm.
- Reynolds’ First DC Role: Long before Deadpool, Ryan Reynolds took on the role of Hal Jordan. He would later poke fun at this movie in multiple Marvel appearances.
- CG Suit Controversy: Hal’s Green Lantern costume was entirely CGI, including his mask — a decision that drew heavy criticism from fans and critics alike.
- Mark Strong’s Sinestro: Widely considered the film’s best casting, Mark Strong’s performance as Sinestro was praised and had set up a villainous turn for the sequel that never came.
- Blake & Ryan Meet: This is where Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively first worked together — they later married in real life and have since become one of Hollywood’s power couples.
- Kilowog & Tomar-Re: Both fan-favorite Lanterns appear, voiced by Michael Clarke Duncan (Kilowog) and Geoffrey Rush (Tomar-Re), bringing authenticity to the Corps.
- Parallax Problems: Parallax, a major villain in DC Comics, was reduced to a giant cloud-like monster in the film — a creative choice that disappointed many fans.
- Secret Post-Credits Scene: The movie features a stinger where Sinestro dons a yellow ring, teasing his transformation into a major villain — but a sequel was never greenlit.
- Box Office Trouble: Despite a big marketing push, the film earned $219 million worldwide on a reported $200 million budget, falling short of expectations.
- Future Lantern Plans: Though this version of Green Lantern didn’t kick off a franchise, the character is being reimagined in upcoming DC Universe projects, including the HBO Max series “Lanterns” led by James Gunn’s DC Studios.
