Green Lantern movie - thoughts?
Rajah:
I enjoyed Green Lantern but it definitely had some flaws. I felt like it jumped around too much between Earth, Oa, space, the government, etc. It also tried to squeeze too many things into one movie, a frequent problem with superhero films. Sinestro was there but did little other than make impassioned speeches. The Corps was there but few of them were developed beyond generic faces in the crowd. I was also not a huge fan of Ryan Reynolds. I still feel Nathan Fillion would have been a better Green Lantern (the fan trailer and animated movies attest to that).
It wasn't horrible though. I loved seeing these characters on the big screen. Other than the tweaks to Parallax, it stayed fairly true to the comics. The effects looked amazing. Overall, it was an enjoyable but flawed ride. Not nearly as bad as the critics claimed but a far cry from what this GL fan was hoping for.

One of the worst movies ever...
The "moneyshot" of OA came early in the movie... after that, it was just boring...
