Green Lantern (3D)

It's "Top Gun" meets "Spider Man" as we watch Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds) become Green Lantern and we learn about the Green Lantern Corps. It's "will" versus "fear" as good and evil battle for supremacy. CGI dominates this special effects extravaganza right down to the super hero costume. The film does have a sense of humor, even poking fun at the super hero image and the secret identity issue. Can this underdog chosen one defeat the all powerful villain, Parallax. Not being a true Green Lantern fan, Alien liked the mystery of trying to figure out who was who and what was going on. It's entertaining comic book action brought to life on the big screen. For a hint of a possible sequel, see one final reveal in the middle of the credits.

Alien gives it 3 "Intergalactic Peacekeeper" stars out of 4.
