(BB, PaPa, FRFR, C, PP, CapCap, LL, VV, S, N, A, M) Strong moral worldview and premise, sometimes implied, about an irresponsible pilot and playboy who sometimes curses but learns how to be more responsible and moral when he’s chosen to join an ancient intergalactic corps of alien peacekeepers who keep peace, order and justice and fight against evil, with moral themes of becoming responsible, taking a moral oath to fight evil always and everywhere, protecting people from mean villains lusting after power and/or trying to kill people and consume their souls, and courage to fight evil conquers fear and lust, spoiled by some strong pagan but mixed nominalistic elements where peacekeepers can use willpower to conjure up things out of nothing to help them fight evil though in the end courage (especially the courage to fight evil and conquer fear and lust) proves to be the stronger power, plus some Christian, redemptive elements regarding forgiveness and apologizing to those one has wronged in addition to being chosen by a higher power and making a sacrifice to save the human race, peacekeepers are strongly patriotic, and strong pro-capitalist elements where hero’s love interest works for her father’s company, a military contractor 12 mostly light obscenities (mostly “h” words but a few “s” words), three strong profanities and four light exclamatory profanities strong, intense action violence includes evil being kills three good peacekeepers and appears to consume their souls, spaceship crashes, alien dies, pilot almost dies, flashback where pilot sees his father’s plane explode when he’s a boy, hero’s training involves fighting and being flung against objects and building structures, scientist gets infected by evil alien power when he autopsies body of dead alien, villain flings people about and tries to kill them, villain tries to make helicopter crash and kill his senator father while also killing innocent bystanders, helicopter crashes into objects as people flee in terror, villain tries to infect female with evil alien power from his blood through a hypodermic needle, hero fights main villain as he tries to destroy earth and keeps killing innocent bystanders and apparently consumes their souls, and some images of skeletons light sexual content includes implied fornication when protagonist wakes up next to minor female character, light double entendres in discussion about relationship between hero and his love interest, brief discussion implies hero and love interest slept together in the past, and a passionate kiss occurs brief upper male nudity brief alcohol use no smoking or drugs and, irresponsibility but rebuked, hero tricks one villain by not revealing the truth in one scene, and ancient “immortal” beings called “Guardians of the Universe” seem like gods but movie later reveals they are flawed. Strong caution is recommended, but GREEN LANTERN is a very entertaining movie with some valuable lessons and positive values. Everything, however, leads to a morally uplifting, redemptive conclusion extolling responsibility and having the moral courage to stand up to strong evil. There are some obscenities, profanities, innuendoes, and nominalistic elements of magical thinking in GREEN LANTERN. Ryan Reynolds is a very sympathetic, credible Green Lantern. The 3-D special effects and photography are truly amazing and visually stunning. GREEN LANTERN is incredibly exciting and lots of fun. Hal also must convince his fellow Green Lanterns not to forge their own yellow rings of fear to fight fire with fire. When Parallax, the ancient enemy of the Green Lanterns who’s harnessed the corruptive yellow power of fear, threatens all of Earth, Hal must summon the moral courage to stand up to evil. A hotshot test pilot and irresponsible playboy, Hal fears he doesn’t measure up as the newest member of the Green Lantern Corps, a cadre of alien peacekeepers who fight evil to promote peace, order and justice. The new GREEN LANTERN movie stars Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern.
