I thought Strong as Sinestro was perfect.This movie, unlike many other comic book characters had a whole lot of ground to cover -- and I felt it delivered.1. The Energy Sources at play - Will vs. Fear. 2. The Green Lantern Core 3. Oa and the Guardians 4. The threat of Parallax 5. The hero's origin story 6. Establishing the villains (and setting up future villains)Your average superhero movie only has to handle the latter two -- the framework is much less involved. Batman's origin is more accessible to the casual movie-goer, and let's face it, Superman's can be done in the first 10 or 15 minutes of a movie if they rush it.The special effects didn't blow me away (although I liked them), but I felt that they were on par with Thor and other movies this year.Now, if Captain America (and this is the one I've been waiting for) can deliver a super-hero hat trick for 2011, I'll be one happy comic fan!!!</blockquote>
