Green Lantern: First Flight (2009)

I feel like a lot was missed during this Green Lantern origin story. The biggest thing is they rushed through him getting his powers. There was no “What is this? How does it work?” He gets the ring and all of a sudden everything about the powers comes naturally to him. The ring is supposed to give the user the ability to create anything. They make hands, clamps, and beams. Also, I’m not super well versed in the Green Lantern comics but I thought he was supposed to have his own small, carriable lantern. The oath was never said unless I missed it. This is a mess and boring. There were a couple of cool action scenes, but overall lacked way too much Green Lantern lore.
