Test pilot Hal Jordan went from being a novelty, the first-ever human Green Lantern, to one of the most legendary Lanterns to ever wield a power ring. Hal Jordan’s life was changed twice by crashing aircraft. The first time was when he witnessed the death of his father, pilot Martin Jordan. The second was when, as an adult and trained pilot himself, he was summoned to the crashed wreckage of a spaceship belonging to an alien named Abin Sur. Abin explained that he was a member of the Green Lantern Corps, an organization of beings from across the cosmos, armed with power rings fueled by the green energy of all willpower in the universe. Upon his death, Abin entrusted his ring and duties as the Green Lantern of Earth’s space sector to Hal Jordan.

Hal’s life as a Green Lantern has not been easy. He’s had to fight not only enemies, but often friends, colleagues and loved ones. But despite the strain his Green Lantern identity has put on his life, Hal is an honest man who can operate without fear, and is always willing to protect those in need—whether alone, with the Corps or alongside the Justice League and Earth’s other Super Heroes. For Hal has sworn the oath of every Green Lantern—that no evil will escape his sight.

Green Lantern is a 2011 American superhero film based on the DC Comics character of the same name. The film stars Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard, Mark Strong, Angela Bassett, and Tim Robbins, with Martin Campbell directing a script by Greg Berlanti and comic book writers Michael Green and Marc Guggenheim that was subsequently rewritten by Michael Goldenberg.[5] This was the first DC film since Catwoman (2004) not to be involved with Legendary Pictures. The film tells the story of Hal Jordan, a test pilot who is selected to become the first human member of an intergalactic police force called the Green Lantern Corps; he is given a ring that grants him superpowers and must confront Parallax, a being who threatens to upset the balance of power in the universe, while a new threat rises back on Earth.

The film first entered development in 1997; progress remained stalled until Berlanti was hired to write and direct in October 2007. Martin Campbell was brought on board in February 2009 after Berlanti was forced to vacate the director's position. Most of the live-action actors were cast between July 2009 and February 2010, and filming took place from March to August 2010 in Louisiana. The film was converted to 3D during its post-production stage.

Green Lantern was released in the United States on June 17, 2011, by Warner Bros. Pictures. The film received generally negative reviews from critics for its script, tone, visual effects, and unfaithfulness to the source material, and underperformed at the box office, grossing $220 million against a production budget of $200 million. It was also originally intended to start a film franchise based on DC characters. However, due to the film's critical and commercial disappointment, Warner Bros. scrapped plans for a sequel, opting instead to use Man of Steel (2013) as the official start of the DC Extended Universe, two years after Green Lantern's release.[6][7]

Green Lantern is the name of several superheroes appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. They fight evil with the aid of rings that grant them a variety of extraordinary powers, all of which come from imagination, fearlessness, and the electromagnetic spectrum of emotional willpower. The first Green Lantern character, Alan Scott, was created in 1940 by Martin Nodell with scripting or co-scripting of the first stories by Bill Finger[2] during the Golden Age of Comic Books and usually fought common criminals in Capitol City (and later, Gotham City) with the aid of his magic ring. For the Silver Age of Comic Books, John Broome and Gil Kane reinvented the character as Hal Jordan in 1959 and introduced the Green Lantern Corps, shifting the nature of the character from fantasy to science fiction. During the Bronze Age of Comic Books, Dennis O'Neil and Neal Adams introduced John Stewart, a new member of the Corps who was one of DC's first black superheroes. Other notable Green Lanterns include Guy Gardner, Kyle Rayner, Simon Baz, Jessica Cruz and Jo Mullein.

Honestly the best part of that film. They nailed him

[blairbird]

Trying to make a guy named Sinestro not look too sinister is wild.

[razalin]

This was absolutely great casting. The fact that we didn't get more Yellow SInestro is insane.

[ArchangelExile]

He was the perfect casting for Sinestro.

[arkachaudhuri]

They really did get the look. The movie may be bad. But sinestro was the same as in comics.

[Boba-Fett]

Best part of the film, great casting and I hope they try and bring him to the DCU

[JosueDominguez-gz]

For all the criticism from Ryan Reynolds about the suit being CGI, I’ve always thought the different lanterns and their suits looked great in this film. Had the movie eliminated the stuff with Hector Hammond and focused more on Parallax with Hal in space most of the film, the movie could’ve been decent 🤷🏾‍♂️

[maninthetrenchcoat]

"Doesn't look too sinister?"

What's his damn name?!

[shaunbang]

Had they made the story about Sinestro training Hal up then turning bad/yellow, the film woulda been great just off the fact that mark strongs performance was so damn good in the role

[jstratton]

Bring mark back for the Lantern show. His performance in the movie is the reason I still own the dvd.

[greenlight]

The only sad part is we're never gonna get to see him expand on this role. And I believe I have an idea or 2. How to fix things in a sequel.

[sentfrombeyond]

I actually liked this movie a lot. It had it's cheesy moments, but I wish they made a sequel with the Sinestro story line.

[nickboon]

I thought we would never reference this movie ever again in honor of the Great Ryan Reynolds? You dare defile His name??

[countpicula]

Too date one of the most accurate comic book translations ever. Literally the best part of that film.

[steveglover]

It’s just a consolation prize, but Mark Strong (always great) is in the Battinson universe as the recast Carmine Falcone in the so far great show The Penguin (or Pinwing or Pangwang says Cumberbatch😂)

[Walt_Xander]

Hopefully Gunn gets him back for the DCU. No need to cast a new guy for Sinestro, especially when DCU Hal will be an old veteran. I'd say he'd be DC's Dafoe, but it'd be a redemption role because he didnt get to be the villain Sinestro. Just the character BEFORE be turned.

[ScarletPhantom-gvrg]

Luke Evans needs to be Sinestro for DCU

[darknexus]

I really wish that we could have gotten this treatment with Black Adam in casting someone who actually looked the part facial structure wise and done the rest using prosthetics.

The Rock could have chosen from a bunch of other characters like Steel, Icon, Black Lightening, Bronze Tiger and etc. All of which would've suited his personality and acting range better than Black Adam!

[Fighttilltheend]

The best part of the movie was the end 😂 fight scene

[AbuRas]

Mark strong as Sinestro was the best thing in that movie and I hope we get the chance to see him again
