When pilot Hal Jordan accepts a mysterious, powerful ring from a dying alien creature, it transforms him into a Green Lantern, one of an elite force of heroes who patrol the universe to ensure peace and justice under the leadership of the Guardians of the Universe. Unsure of their newest recruit, the Guardians assign Hal to their most-honoured Green Lantern Sinestro for training, unaware that Sinestro wants to overthrow the Guardians and create a new order he'll control. It's a battle of might and willpower as Hal must prove his worth by defeating Sinestro to save the Green Lantern Corps.

I haven't had much contact with Green Lantern yet. I recently saw the new movie. While not great, I enjoyed myself.
This animated movie is similar in a way. Though I like the bad guy a lot better. In the live-action version they have saved him for a sequel.
I was a little disappointed, that this movie almost exclusivley is set in space. Green Lantern isn't seen back on Earth after he left for his training.

Blade: Trinity, a review by Rich

Blade: Trinity



Blade (Wesley Snipes) returns as the ultimate vampire hunter in the explosive third and final film, Blade: Trinity.  For years, Blade has fought against the vampires in the cover of the night. But now, after falling into the crosshairs of the FBI, he is forced out into the daylight, where he is driven to join forces with a clan of human vampire hunters he never knew existed - The Nightstalkers. Together with Abigail (Jessica Biel) and Hannibal (Ryan Reynolds), two deftly trained Nightstalkers, Blade follows a trail of blood to the ancient creature that is also hunting him, the original vampire, Dracula.

Disappointing finale to the trilogy of films, this movie fails to deliver the goods, has none of the originality of the first Blade, and does not highlight the advances in film-making, stuntwork and CGI that occured between the 2 films production dates. The acting is off the mark, especially Ryan Reynolds as the wisecracking ex-vampire who just comes across as a real prat. The whole movie reminded me of a straight to video enterprise designed to cash-in on previous success.
Poor imagery, stunted and ill fitting soundtrack, haphazard filming and characters you never care for, with a script so full of holes it could be edam, I would recommend any fans of the first 2 Blades to pretend Trinity doesn't exist.
The concept was well and truly SUCKED DRY by the end of Blade 2.
