Kuhusu filamu hii

More than three billion years ago, a race of immortals known as the Guardians of the Universe, established a team of heroes based out of a planet at the very center of creation and assigned to defend freedom and justice across the many galaxies. Each hero is given a ring that bestows awesome power. Together they are known as the Green Lantern Corps. When Earth's new representative to the Corps, Hal Jordan is recruited and placed under the supervision of senior Lantern Sinestro, he comes to realize that his trainer and mentor is at the heart of a secret conspiracy threatening the philosophy, tradition and very existence of the Corps that has defended universal law for far longer than Jordan's home world has existed. Now, Jordan must quickly master his new powers to combat the treasonous Lanterns in order to maintain order across the universe.

DC animation gives us a solid, well written GL origin story in this installment. Hal Jordan is a likeable, courageous protagonist who is willing to stand up for what's right. The movie has scenes with Hal stripped of his ring, showing that he's still a hero even without his power. Those scenes really hit home. The 2nd half is more compelling and Sinestro is a threatening villain. Personally I really enjoyed the animation style and the alien artwork/design.

However, it is still not a great movie. I haven't found a Green Lantern movie that was excellent yet. I would suggest renting this for a $1, but it is overpriced at $2

Long story short, this is how the Green Lantern movie with Ryan Reynolds should have gone with numerous elements taking place on Earth as it shows how a mentor turns evil and the trainee must stop him.
