8 Amazing Comic Book Storylines Completely Ruined By Superhero Movies

6. Green Lantern: Secret Origin

The influence of Geoff Johns' comic book work was clear to see in the Green Lantern movie, and it's just a shame that it, you know, got it all wrong. Other than cutting out parts which were specifically relevant to what was going on in the monthly series at the time, the big screen adaptation followed the basic blueprint of this arc, but ended up leaving literally all of the good stuff out. They had the basic ingredients, and that's it! For some reason, the movie added Parallax, turned Hector Hammond into one of the worst villains to ever appear on screen, glossed over all of the great stuff between Hal Jordan and Sinestro (instead opting for that baffling mid-credits scene which saw him try on that yellow fear powered ring), and couldn't even deliver a decent training montage. With so many mistakes made here, it's no wonder he's been shelved until 2020.
