"Green Lantern" – another kinokomiks and another American superstar of DC Comics, which appeared in the last few years on our screens. Previously, we have not heard about it. Under this "we" I mean moviegoers, as fans of television cartoons and their history in pictures, of course, perfectly familiar with Green Lantern. For the first time the character appeared in the early 1940s. Ring of Power, which draws its energy from the ethereal magic lantern appropriate light, was born Americans have a fantasy before his One Ring described JRR Tolkien. Lanterns in the universe there are many: a cosmic warriors, original Knights of the Grail intergalactic protecting the good and justice in all worlds. And one of them, interesting to us is of human form. The first Lantern was Alan Scott, the second, who appeared in the so-called Silver Age – Hal Jordan, the third, our contemporary, already in the 1990s was John Stewart, and now has a fourth. But the creators of the first full meter of the Green Lantern have decided to take the time and choice of subject for the script stopped at Hele Jordan – test pilot, which received from the victim's ring of power on Earth wreck of a great warrior ABIN Sarah. The role of Green Lantern – an irresponsible pilot who suddenly gained their ability to fly, fulfilling their wildest fantasies with the help of a magic ring and is now forced to save the Earth from the encroachments of the formless space villain went to Ryan Reynolds. A great comic actor, in the recent past – her husband Scarlett Johansson, who proved his love to experiment in a non-trivial horror "buried alive", Reynolds walks the entire movie with the same expression on his face: "Where am I and what I doing here?" – Written in it. Perhaps it's not bad. At least that is assigned to the role of monsters modest actor Peter Sarsgaard and playing his foolish father, Senator Tim Robbins look even inappropriate, and only bullet-proof and inexpressive beauty Blake Lively waits patiently lantern down from the heavens, to kiss her and go on to help the oppressed. In a series of modern adaptations of comics endless – from the commonplaces to the most marginalized – "Green Lantern" stands alone. The producers apparently do not understood why they took it over. In all endeavors to find the material at least something interesting to modern audiences, they have not been able to update this naive and rather flat space story. Special effects and 3D, of course, at the height of the rest is for the most part, with perplexity; to accept it at face value, you must be very naive, and preferably on the strength of the Tenth year old. Even the connection to the project is not in the initial stage veteran director Martin Campbell has recently inhaled a new life in the 007 in the film "Casino Royale", did not help. There is every reason to fear that the audience who watched "The Dark Knight" and "Iron Man", the adventures of Hal Jordan to be light – though even and green.
