Triple Bill Mini Musings: Lanterns, Strippers, and Helpers...
Green Lantern:
What's it about?
Comic book adaptation by Martin "Goldeneye/Casino Royale" Campbell about Hal Jordan, a cocky test pilot who ends up becoming The Green Lantern, part of a league of superheroes who protect their respective sectors of the universe.
Who would I recognise in it?
Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Tim Robbins, Peter Sarsgaard, Mark Strong.
Great/Good/Alright/Shite?
Considering Campbell expertly rejuvinated the Bond franchise not once, but twice, it comes as quite a surprise that Green Lantern feels so conflicted and flat. It is at once lumpen with awkward and unfocused pacing, and yet unsatisfyingly light on plot and character. The big bad - in the form of Paralax, a big fart-cloud of dust heading for earth that feeds on fear and consumes all in its path - never feels threatening, and is rarely glimpsed ... although there is only so much you can do with an evil space cloud. Sarsgaard's bulgy-headed back-up-baddie Hector Hammond is likewise under-developed, his character amounting to little more than a pissy 'failure' in life. Hal Jordan is about the only one who gets enough screen time to develop a solid back story and character arc of discovery (even if it is predictable and generally a bit "meh"). I've never read any of the Green Lantern comics, and have no interest in doing so, so purely in terms of it as a movie - only alright.
