The film’s central theme—fear (the yellow light of the villain Parallax) versus willpower (the green light of the Lanterns)—is conceptually rich. However, the screenplay fails to dramatize this conflict convincingly. Hal Jordan’s arc is meant to move from “a man without fear” (reckless) to a man who masters fear through will.
