I watched it for the first time last Saturday. it was ok. Not great, not bad. Then again, the only GL comics i have read are the first 2 volumes of the Showcase trades, so i can't complain about any big differences in the movie. Plus i don't know what idea's have been updated- like Carrol Ferris being a pilot? I hope they make a sequel (a BETTER movie) to follow up on Sinestro's change at the end. That was the one thing confusing me through out the movie. I kept waiting for him to go bad. I explained to my wife that Sinestro is to Green Lantern what Lex Luthor is to Superman or the Joker to Batman, which of course she had no idea. I think she liked it about as much as me, but she probably only watched it because she's a Ryan Reynolds fan. I also found it too CGI heavy. The beginning felt like an computer animated cartoon

I did like the scene where Carrol recognized Hal in his GL costume. I could never buy the idea of people not being able to recognize people they know because the have a small mask (or not wearing glasses!) I think If I put on a Batman mask, my friends & family could still tell it was me!
