this movie doesn't remain true to the source material (even in spirit)


How so?

Yeah, there are attempts at Iron Man-style humor and the shitty performance by the female lead. And some effects don't really impress.

But those are different issues than whether it's "true to the source material," and the plot points and art direction: Abin Sur, Oa, Hal, Sinestro, the Corps, Hammond, etc., look like pretty much every silver, bronze and post-rebirth GL I've ever read.
