Its all good.
I've gotten the soundtracks to most of the movies I've seen this year especially. Still need to get X-Men but I will have to say I've enjoyed them all. None of them are LOTR which to me are the best I've heard but like I said I've enjoyed all of them so far.
Must own Sound Tracks: Indy, Superman, 89 Batman, Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Batman Begins, Terminator, LOTR.
Unfortunately GL will not be joining those ranks for me

I have all four Indy soundtracks and LOTR. I really need to get the others at somepoint.
GL is good. Its probably not a must own but I'm trying to make sure I pick up the soundtracks to the films I really like this year.
Just got out from seeing it. It's pretty good. Too much Hal and Carol and not enough Hal and OA though.

I never read the GL comics.I went in thinking it would be good...It was bad.Blake can't act to save her life.The CGI was crap.The story was all over the place.
THOR was better!!!

I, too, enjoyed this movie. It was a fun ride and a great way to introduce GL to the masses. The cast was great as well and man is Blake Lively gorgeous!! She looked stunning in every scene. Solid movie, def. on par with Thor for me. 8.5/10
Wow, such a difference of opinions!
I bet I'll like it!
It is an enjoyable movie to watch. I am certain you will like it. The varying opinions seem to be HOW enjoyable (fun summer popcorn flick v on par with the best comic films from this summer).
Those aren't mutually exclusive options, IMO.

In this article, IGN counted Sinestro in their list of 'Characters Comic Book Movies Got Wrong'. Now I haven't seen the movie yet, but are they right?

LOTR and SW still remain timeless classics.listen to them all on repeat and never get sick of them.Hopefully the Hobbit will soon be added to this list.
next to these the Labyrinth is another good one

I can tell without having watched the film that Mark Strong's Sinestro is going to be the best part about the film. So i'm guessing IGN is full of *******

I really good popcorn flick. I really enjoyed it, but as others have said too much Blake (Who can act, go watch The Town) and not enough of The Green Lantern Corps
8 out of 10

I enjoyed the hell out of this, probably more so than Thor.....Sinestro could have had a way, way, way bigger role
Hope you all stayed for the last scene.......'its yellow time!!!!"

To a degree yes. Although for it to be done correctly, you'd have to have seven films. Sinestro's downfall is really complex that has been hashed out over and over but falls most recently into a jealousy that matured into distaste.
Here is my take on it on how it works in the film.
Sinestro is played strong, almost above reproach. He talks to Hal as if he is beneath him. The Guardians respect Sinestro, they listen to him. Without question they look to his advice to harness the power of fear, a power which they refused to do on their own. That shows their willingness to follow his command. Hal in one speech caused them to put Sinestro's plan aside in mid-motion, the ring was already forged and he was right. While Sinestro can publically say how great Hal was, to anyone as arrogant and as high up on the totem pole as Sinestro was that would sting, that would cause the beginning of a hatred mixed with respect as we see it in the comics. The film's Sinestro wouldn't make sense to be buddying up with Hal. He can't hate him in one moment but like him and partner with him the next. In a film sequence which goes realistically three and with a thought to put him as the main baddie in the next, they left it perfectly in a spot to explore those feelings, that dynamic which is different but still arrives in the same place.
Films these days don't have the luxury of drawing out things as much as the comics. Especially when you have no clue if there will be a sequel. You'd think the folks at IGN would recognize that instead of beating up on a film just because it seems trendy now.
