As I stated before in my previous thread, I am of a unified agreement that the movie was sort of boring. Again, the writers should have been a little tighter in their story telling. I honestly think it would have been a much better movie to have seen more of the Green Lantern Corp, especially in the final battle scene (I call bullshit on the fact that Hal could have defeated Parallax all by himself). I think if they had shortened the whole Hal Jordan "have my fears because of my dead father" stuff and had lengthened the Parallax entity attack on Earth and included the Corp in a longer battle scene the movie would have been total kick ass. I believe it was Shag who had stated that there was really no point to the Hector Hammond character. I sort of agree. Taking out that part of the movie also may have made a tighter, not so boring, story. To sum up, more GL Corp assistance in the final battle and a long battle scene would have made a better movie.
