Green Lantern

The Green Lantern is a good movie to analyze the presence of ancient hero motifs in modern film. Throughout, The Green Lantern, the protagonist and central hero of the film Hal Jordan embodies many of the character motifs of ancient heroes such as opposition, help from others, tokens of recognition, and rewards while also neglecting some of these classic motifs. Typical of most heroes, Hal Jordan receives a lot of opposition from the government, the people and guardians of Oa, and from the main villains

many people know 2007's Green lantern film didn't do so well as far as the box office was concerned. Though Ryan Reynolds did a good job portraying the character the movies' screenplay was incredibly inconsistent and although the story plot seemed pretty easily readable from the viewers perception it was all over the place in inconsistencies.

The acting of Blake Lively, who plays Nancy, helps to make the film even better, as many people know her from her other acting rolls, such as Sarena van der Woodsen from the hit television show “Gossip Girl” and Carol Ferris from the film “Green Lantern”. The director of the film, Jaume Collet-Serra, is known for creating movies with an extensive amount of suspense.
