The movie has had nothing but bad reviews. I just watched it and my personal take was not that bad. It was a first film in what we all know will be at least a trilogy. As of late we have gotten used to good comic book movies (x-men) becoming great comic book movies (x-men:first class). It was not what we all wanted (a film with hal vs. sinestro)but it was a good set up movie. I just do not see all the negative reviews and crying about it. It was a good comic book movie not great but well worth a watch at home or at theater
