#21 Hals Mask
Tomar Re tells Hal his mask will appear when protection of his identity is needed. Green Lanterns are supposed to be a well recognized peace keeping organization. Humans dont know about them, but thats because Earth is the boondocks of the universe. One would be proud to be a Green Lantern. Why would they program the ring to hide an officers identity automatically? It just doesnt make any sense. Hal could just as easily have decided to make the mask himself. Why make it a preset feature?
#22 The Rally
The scene with all of the Green Lanterns standing around makes no sense and was only added so fans could spot their favorites. Clearly the film makers were scared that fans would be upset that they didnt spot Bzzd or Salaak. Shameless pandering. They have that big meeting but theres no epic march to battle afterwards. Its pointless. Plus, blasting energy into space is not only a waste of the rings charge but pretty dangerous. I hope no spaceships were flying by.
#23 Oa Training Sequence
After attending the rally, Hal begins training with Kilowog. The montage does not show any progression in Hals abilities. We dont see Hal learn; we just see him fail. Theres no indication that hes actually acquiring skills: he has skills, but they dont measure up. The whole thing was only filmed to be able to put in commercials to make geeks feel the movie would be better than it is.
#24 Terrible Soundtrack
What is the Green Lantern theme? The Superman movie has a theme. The Batman movie has a theme. This is what makes them iconic. Green Lantern not only lacks a theme, but the music choices are very often questionable and call attention to the fact that you are indeed watching a movie. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYZGDw2oqLk Good background music is invisible; it doesnt call attention to itself. When Kilowog shows up for the training theres this guitar piece that plays and its like See, hes a bad ass! Guitars!
#25 Hals Learning Curve
We see Hal having problems imitating the construct that Tomar-Re had shown him. Then in the next cut, hes able to make things very well. Such things include a brick wall, swords and fully functioning Gatling gun. As with the Training Sequence, his ability to fight Sinestro (even though he gets his ass kicked) is just way too advanced for the amount of time hes been using the ring. If hed been on Oa for days it would be believable, but Im pretty sure hes only there for the span of one night. Either way, the movie doesnt tell us how long hes gone, so we dont know.
