In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, an elite, powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. Warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him the ability to create anything his mind can imagine. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds). Hal is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. But Hal's humanity is one weapon no member of the Corps has ever had, and if--with willpower, determination and the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris (Blake Lively)--Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallax...he will save the Earth and all of mankind from certain destruction.

Through a quirk of fate, test pilot Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds) is chosen against his better judgment to save the world and maybe the universe from a strange being, don’t laugh, named Parallax, who lives for fear.
As with all comics to big screen transformations, the restrictions of conforming to the comic book shackles any potential for a good movie. The graphics look hokey, but better than not. They could just as well have zipped him up in a green fuzzy suit.
The story is generic the good guys and bad guys are also generic. You could “make book” on the dialog. And the pattern is so obvious that they did not waste any time with a twist or turn surprises. This was designed to be a pilot (no pun intended).
The film passed the time but would not thrill any comic fans or generic movie watchers.
