I thought Green Lantern was actually a pretty good movie and very well done. It had great effects and all the characters were straight from the comics. What wrecked it was their choice in villains.
I don’t care if Hal Jordan was a historical Green Lantern prodigy, you don’t send him to fight a universe ending villain when veteran Green Lanterns, some hundreds of years old, are beaten with ease.
Also, what exactly were they planning on doing for the other two movies?
Lol obviously not much since it bombed...I never really liked DC until Miller’s Dark Night Returns, and Gotham by Gaslight (still a mainly Marvel fan though lol)...but the Nolan trilogy and Man of Steel were pretty good...B vs S was good IMHO...looking forward to the Justice League movie after having seen that trailer.
They were setting up the corruption of Sinestro.
I mostly enjoyed the movie with several exceptions.
Parallax, the evil cloud; was a poor villain for an action flick. I also thought that OA, the home of the Guardians and the center of the universe was poorly portrayed as a barren rock.
