Saw it with a bevy of other nerds (in our Lantern Corps shirts... I was Orange, big shock) on Saturday. I really dug it. There was a few problems with the pacing on the Earth scenes but the movie just popped for me and each setpiece was satisfying. I thought the effects were top notch as well and the aliens well realized. Sinestro was awesome!
