DC Comics' Green Lantern finally makes it to the silver screen via Casino Royale director Martin Campbell and starring Ryan Reynolds as test pilot Hal Jordan, the first human chosen to wear the power ring and join the Green Lantern Corps.
A cocky pilot for the family aviation company of his lifelong friend and ex-flame Carol Ferris (Blake Lively), Hal encounters the dying alien Abin Sur (Temuera Morrison) who bequeaths his power ring unto him with the declaration that the ring has chosen him, a choice the amiable but reckless Hal finds curious at best. After the ring bonds with him and he speaks the Oath, Hal is transported to the Lanterns' home world of Oa, where he meets the great warrior Sinestro (Mark Strong), the towering drill instructor Kilowog (voiced by Michael Clarke Duncan) and the scholarly Tomar-Re (voiced by Geoffrey Rush). Hal endures what seems like a whole day of training before quitting, saying that the ring made a mistake choosing him. Still traumatized by the boyhood memory of his pilot dad's (Jon Tenney) fiery death, Hal must conquer his fears if he's to serve as a Green Lantern.
Meanwhile, scientist Hector Hammond (played by a heavily made-up Peter Sarsgaard), the son of an ambitious U.S. senator (Tim Robbins), is brought in by the government (in the person of Dr. Amanda Waller, played by Angela Bassett) to study Abin Sur's remains. Abin Sur had been mortally wounded by the planet-killing Parallax, and his remains bear traces of the cosmic entity's fear-thriving energy, which infects Hector. He soon develops telepathic powers, his skull swelling to a gargantuan size and driving this already odd man into utter madness. Hal must defeat both Hector and Parallax if he's to overcome his fears, save the world and prove himself worthy of being in the Corps.
Last summer gave us the DC bomb that was Jonah Hex and this summer offers the colossal disappointment that is Green Lantern. The epitome of spectacle over substance, Green Lantern is a cosmic mess and a huge letdown given the source material it had to draw from. Indeed, X-Men: The Last Stand and Wolverine are better than Green Lantern. This was DC and Warner Bros.' best bet yet at establishing a deeper bullpen of big screen superheroes beyond Batman and Superman, but the film is bad enough to possibly kill any hope for ever seeing The Flash or Justice League.

Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, these giant robot machines, which move among us disguised as cars and trucks but can transform back at any second, have found a new home on Earth after the destruction of their planet, Cybertron. Housed in a government bunker, they're training earthlings to deal with an inevitable Decepticon invasion and (to be said in a booming Barratt Homes voice) "prevent mankind from bringing harm to itself".
Sam Witwicky, played by the unappealing Shia LaBeouf, is the human the Autobots have chosen to be their chief confidant, and by now he's graduated from college and got rid of his hot, biker-chick girlfriend, who used to be played by Megan Fox, dropped from the franchise for hating Michael Bay and for likening him to Hitler (rather than, say, DeMille).
Fox has been replaced by a British underwear model named Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, with whom Bay worked creating adverts for lingerie chain Victoria's Secret in which she purred on a pool table, sprouted angel wings and draped herself on car bonnets, all while wearing knickers and bra. Not much more is required of her here, except that now: Rosie talks.
Or, rather, she gabbles, in that English posh girl, Liz Hurley way that sounds perfectly fine on an afternoon at Henley but which renders her practically unintelligible when surrounded by American accents and falling masonry. In any case, we're first introduced to Rosie via a close-up of her bum, segueing straight from the film's opening sequence and titles on to the pert buttocks and underwear of our heroine. For Michael Bay, exposition must always give way to exhibitionism.
To be fair, the film's opening moments are neatly done in the bombastic Bay style. They posit that the Apollo moon landings were in fact top secret missions to recover alien craft that US radars had spotted landing on the lunar surface several years earlier. (It reminds me of a long-mooted comic action film called Iron Sky, in which fleeing Nazis landed on the moon in 1945 and have been waiting 70 years to launch their revenge, but I don't know what's happened to that one.) We get men walking into rooms and barking: "Get me the president", and faded reconstructions of Kennedy and Nixon in the Oval Office, followed by a well-constructed moon walk in which our astronauts discover a crashed Autobot spacecraft.

Two years ago, JJ Abrams imagined the meeting of young Kirk and young Spock in his rebooted Star Trek; a brilliant piece of movie pre-history. Now producer Bryan Singer and director Matthew Vaughn make their attempt to revitalise the X-Men movie series by doing the same thing with the mutants' warring, schismatic leaders Professor Xavier and Magneto.
We see how they first met in the cold war 1960s as flashy, headstrong mutant-youngsters. The result is baggy and chaotic and over-long, but watchable, often enjoyably bizarre, and with the occasional flash of cold steel. These flashes come from the formidable Michael Fassbender, as the young Magneto. The film sets out to explain the origin of the X-Men, and even has a slightly strained rationale for Magneto's famous pointy mask/helmet, which turns out to have been invented by the Russians for the purposes of preventing telepathic mind-reading. How is it that Magneto came to rely on something invented by Muggle non-mutants? And why don't all the X-Persons get one? Well, I'm not sure: but it can't really be worn with a lounge suit. Only once Magneto gets a proper costume does the helmet cease to look ridiculous.
The first X-Men movie famously began with a scene outside the Nazi death camps, an image which was variously found to be offensive and absurd, but which in my view was just barmy enough to work. This new film reprises the image. Young Erik Lehnsherr is a Polish boy who is separated from his parents by Nazi guards in 1944, and dragged towards the camp entrance. Unleashing an agonised psycho-telekinetic shockwave from his outstretched hand, he twists the metal gates from afar. A sinister Nazi functionary who is interested in harnessing these powers for the Reich – and who is later to evade the allies and resurface after the war with the new name Sebastian Shaw (Kevin Bacon) and speaking flawless American-accented English – takes the boy under his wing.
Fassbender plays the adult Erik in the 1960s, not yet called Magneto, fanatically set on tracking down Shaw for revenge. Vaughn interestingly shows how rage-filled grownup Erik is seething, not merely at how this Nazi had murdered his parents, but also with self-hate at having failed to use his mutant powers to kill him at the time, and also, perhaps, at the way the Nazi has schooled him in the ways of ruthlessness. Bacon is an interesting casting choice as a Nazi, though it's fair to say he is better at American-English than he is at German. Fassbender, however, unleashes some triple-A German sentences quite as crashingly aggressive as those he deployed in Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds.
Meanwhile, chubby young Professor Xavier is played by James McAvoy as a nerdy, slightly CS Lewis-ish Oxford academic specialising in genetics, who lives with Raven (Jennifer Lawrence), a mutant whom he has been brought up with like a sister. Later, we are to learn that her remarkable genetic profile means that she won't age much – unlike the guys, who will wind up looking like Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen. Xavier and Lehnsherr are both recruited by CIA agents played by Rose Byrne and Demetri Goritsas, to track down the evil Shaw, who has himself engineered the Cuban missile crisis to enforce his own global domination. These two very different X-Men must team up, and recruit a new generation of mutants to bring Shaw to justice.
The best parts of the movie, by far, are those which show Fassbender's Erik on the Nazi's trail. Vaughn creates an atmosphere with weird but pleasing touches of Ian Fleming and Frederick Forsyth. There is a terrific scene in which Erik turns up in the head office of a sinister Swiss banker, asking for somewhere to stash his Nazi gold: Goldfinger meets The Odessa File, and there's also a touch of Marathon Man when, with much righteous sadism, Erik extracts a metal filling from the banker's mouth.
As for the rest of the film, well, it loses a bit of its narrative drive and impetus once the two heroes have joined forces and burdened themselves with its matriculating class of mutants. The question of why some of them side with the consensual Xavier, and some with the angry, radical outsider Magneto is not, frankly, explained by the small amount of character backstory we get for each in the preceding action. But this is an effective showcase for Fassbender, who restores the movie's voltage-level in his final confrontation with Shaw. If there is to be yet another X-Men movie in the future – though I have to say that now might be the time to call it quits – then a solo effort with Fassbender's super-nasty Magneto would be the way to go.
