I am, in no way, a huge fan of the Green Lantern character. He was never my favorite, but I realize that he is a popular character among comic readers. I also know there are several different Green Lanterns, but that Hal Jordan was the first and so he is an important legacy character.

And this animated movie craps all over that legacy. They even wrote themselves an out where he could have been redeemed and they just didn't take it. I actually thought the movie was pretty enjoyable up until they did what they did. I am so sick and tired of character assassinations of classic characters, even characters I never personally cared much for.
