After waiting for somewhere over 30 years I finally got to see a Green Lantern movie on the big screen. And as a fanboy of longstanding I have to say my feelings about it were pretty mixed. On one hand I think they got some things right – the aloofness of the Guardians, Sinestro’s focus…

I’m a big Firefly/Serenity fan and have read all the other comics that the series spawned, but this one left me pretty much cold (except for a feel-good moment at the end).
