LANTERNS
LANTERNS is something... I didn't hate it. but wanted to like it more than I did. Solid casting (I liked Kyle Chandler's version of Hal and thought Aaron Pierre was an excellent John Stewart)... but the GL suit was 'meh' and the writing did Hal Jordon wrong in a couple of ways. Also have mixed feelings about how they treated Alfred Bester's GL oath (even though I know there have been different oaths before).
I felt the same way. Especially the costumes; I knew there wouldn't be intergalactic battles, but I didn't see any constructs like Guy's in Superman. In the end, John is a murderer, and Hal didn't deserve that fate.
