I've actually been waiting for your take on this film. :)
Heh, I imagine you're not the only one. There was a time when I pretty much defined myself by the GL logo, drawing it everywhere, seeing it in architecture, wanting it on everything. In high school and college, I think it virtually became my own symbol, because who the hell else knew who or what the Green Lantern was? Problem is, the GL of this movie is the GL of Geoff Johns' run of the past six years, which is the ONLY run as far as DC's concerned, and it doesn't match the fandom I used to love. So I went into this film with especially complicated and bittersweet feelings. From what you say, it sounds like I'm not the only one going into a GL film based around a take on the mythos that isn't the one we remember.
