The Green Lantern movie had a lot of potential, but the final result was a decidedly mixed bag. The biggest mistakes they made were with the villains. Their best villain was Sinestro - he looked right and Mark Strong performed the character perfectly... but they decided to sideline him and wait for the sequel to let him shine - which seems like a wasted opportunity since that sequel is looking very unlikely at this point. Hector Hammond was never a great villain in the comics so the decision to feature him so prominently puzzled me... couple that with the fact that they made him look so goofy design-wise, and his scenes are the worst in the movie for me. Finally we have Parallax, who should have been this very fearsome creature, and they made him another giant cloud, just like Galactus from the Second Fantastic Four film. Cloud Galactus was roundly mocked by fans and non-fans alike, so it baffled me why Warner Brothers would not learn from that, and just make the same mistake. A staight up Hal vs. Sinestro plotline would have probably been a lot more successful.

It's a good cover, but somehow it seems to me that it would have been more fitting to use Kyle Raynor in this context.
