didn't develop GL as a character really, it was extremely cheesy as well (n00b GL defeating something that defeated and killed tons of way more experienced Gl's? not heroic or cool, just extremely cheesy and stupid), Parallax was a terrible portrayal, and also about that... they whipped out Hal Jordan's biggest enemy (well, the GL's biggest enemy) right off the bat, which is idiotic in any superhero movie, because after they do that they always have to somehow top that, by making the villain bigger and more powerful (which is even more cheesy and idiotic, look at Transformers for example).... And they also whipped out a lame-ass version of Hammond, which is one of Hal's most pathetic enemies.... its like pulling out Doc Ock and Boomerang, tying them together in some moronic, cheesy way and pitting them against a Spiderman who has had his powers for a week or so, and after some training (beating up Crusher Hogan) he magically defeats Ock and Boomerang.
Oh yeah, and Hal Jordan was a whiny little beotch who needed to grow a pair and stop crying when Sinestro was mean to him. He was literally the least heroic portrayal of a superhero on the big screen I have ever seen. Ryan Reynolds was not a good choice and whoever wrote the script was also a bad choice.
In my mind, the first GL movie would be about Hal learning to use his new powers (hint: training a couple of times with some other GL's does not count as experience, and defeating Parallax right off the bat using some cheesy-ass plot device? Moronic) and making a choice to become a hero (and not in some cheesy-ass scene with some chick, I mean a real, life changing moment in the movie where he looks at his past and maybe gradually decides to become the hero he needs to be)...
Anyways the Green Lantern movie suffered from a hell of alot of mistakes. The directors thought some cool CGI effects and a cheesy cliche plot could make them money, (well it made them 19 million bucks in profit but thats not that much for a 200 million budget) but it failed to make a good movie. Anyways if you can find the most common adjective above, you'll find that I find this movie extremely cheesy and stupid. Definitely failed to meet my expectations and I really hope that next time (if there is one in the next decade or so) whoever owns the rights to GL does a more acceptable job. Seriously, this movie sucks.
Did I mention?
SO CHEESY
