[...] Sinestro needs help, because his Corps have turned against him. So he’s willing to give the disgraced Hal Jordan (I love that phrase, because I’m very ambivalent about him, historically) back a ring in return for his help. This actually makes Sinestro somewhat sympathetic (although he’s made his own problems), which ties in nicely with the movie portrayal. [...]

[...] Green Lantern was the second home video release to carry the UltraViolet cloud-based authentication system for providing digital copies across devices. (Horrible Bosses is the first; both came out the same week, but HB was on Tuesday and GL on Friday.) When I tried UltraViolet, I first had a complete failure, but once my Flixster account was reset, I found the process smooth and easy (aside from having to install yet another application and set up yet another username and password).

The alley scene has me scratching my head as it REALLY makes Hal look like a bad guy. The guys feeling like he’d cost them their jobs hit him first sure, but they didn’t do any real damage and were walking away. If he didn’t kill them, he at least put them all in the hospital.

It plus the scene where he let Carol be taken out, I guess because she was mean to him before the flight were weird setups for making someone like a character. Like Tom said if being worthy is alien for asshole, than year Hal fit the bill then.:)

I liked the movie overall, but there were some plot holes a mile wide with Parallax. If Hal had such an easy time damaging him and dragging him around… why did an army of GLs who had way more experience have such a hard time for instance?

Extras were interesting, like to see everyone stop patting Geoff’s back a little though he’s going to get bruised. With DC’s push to get their comics in new peoples hands, I think they missed a chance to do a promo pushing their GL books. I would have done a big program talking with the creators on the current GL books, talking about who was starring and what’s going on and ended it sorta of like the old GI Joe commercials to maybe push someone to see what happens next.

But nope they focus on what was so great about a story that’s already… what 6 years old?
