See, I dled this to check it out, and was insulted at how bad it was. I mean, Hal just becomes GL in ten seconds, and is like "Cool a ring that can do anything. My voice is only moderately surprised."
they spend too much time on the origin!
they don't spend enough time on the origin!
to this specific point, the producers said they didn't want to revisit too much of the origin, as that was handled (and pretty well, mind you) in the previous DCU DVD, "new frontier". they didn't think an indepth retelling of the origin was necessary a few months later, and chose, instead, to concentrate on the story (but summing up the origin within the credit sequence, just incase you didn't already know what happened)
