My original rating for this movie was 7/10. Solid, but a bit out of what I expected a Johns era movie should be about. All this time later, rewatching the movie I think there are more layers to enjoy in it, but I also deepened by problems with it. I think the movie rushes a lot through Hal's origin and it doesn't establish well neither Hal as a character or Abin Sur (he's one of the most important lanterns in the lore, but here he looks like an afterthought), but that's relatively okay since the movie does a great job establishing Hal's personality, resourcefullness and heroism later on. Anyway, although I love early Silver Age Hal Earth adventures, we know from the Ryan Reynolds movie how much to detriment of an adaptation focusing on Earth can be, so I get Burnnet in this one. This being an Alan Burnnet film, DCAU alumni, actually explain some of my issues with it: there is so much unnecessary violence in it, which is something I feel in all DCAU alumni projects after DCAU itself, like they have a need to express their freedom from TV censors, but I don't know, it goes too far for me. The Boodika death is super gruesome, and the ring not having a lethal force block (which was a pretty big plot point in Sinestro Wars) frustrates me. I also think the Boodika villain twist works in the sense that it shows Hal being resourcefull and brave to fight an experienced lantern without the ring, bit it has veru flimsy buind up. In this rewatch, I also noticed the first half-hour is very influenced by "Training Day", where the corrupt cop played by Denzel Washington shows the ropes to a young idealist cop played by Ethan Hawke, who step by step realises he's been trained by a criminal. I think this segment is brillant and should have lasted longer. Actually, the movie is just too rushed, we go from storyline to storyline burning through decades of Green Lantern history. This takes me to the fusing of Esmerald Twilight and Sinestro Wars: it is a fun idea, but it forces the viewer's sense of verissimilitude to believe Hal would become Ion/Torchbearer in his first days as GL (and I can totally see Kyle fans being frustrated by that, just as much as with Beware my Power). Also, to have Tomar-Re killed to show how evil Sinestro has become and how much devastating the Esmerald Twilight is makes sense, but it follows an unfortunate trend to treat Tomar-Re as an unimportant or side lantern, who can even be killed to show how powerfull the antagonist is, when he's the first non-human lantern we've ever meet jn the comics, and the most important one until Killowog was created (love our big pink pig, but ge stole Tomar's limelight). I also strongly dislike Isamot Kol being a background lantern who dies in the same scene, obviously). All in all, I'll keep my rating of 7/10, I could see this movie improving if it was a trilogy covering the beginning and development of Hal, and also developing the Sinestro threat and trason in the background, until we had a whole movoe just for tge Twilight.
