Hal is a test pilot whose father died in an aviation crash, he's always messing things up running away from responsibility. A space ship lands on earth and the pilot is dying, his powers lie in a green ring that chooses Hal as the next owner of the ring. Hal helps the pilot out of the ship and buries him when he dies. There is a super conflict between the Green Lantern Corps and a powerful evil known as Parallax. A scientist is called in to examine the alien pilot and he becomes infected with the evil of Parallax. Can Hal finally face up to what is called for from the green ring or will he run away like he always does? The battle between will and evil is interesting but a lot of the outer space and alien information is tricky. Blake Lively looks different in her role with dark hair instead of her usual blond. The scientist gets a super big head when he starts using his evil powers. 3 1/2* (I liked this movie)
