I would explain a bit, but I would end up dropping alot of spoilers. I will say this though, even if u don't like the other colors, the whole story behind it is actually leading up to something huge for the Lanterns and the DC universe. I don't know what it is yet, but I'm thinking it involves Abin-Sur. I mean his name is in the Indigo oath for pete's sake.
Oh I almost forgot, Kyle's ring didn't have the yellow Impurity because it was the only one forged after the central power battery was destroyed and parallax was freed. That's why all the others were weak to yellow cause the gaurdians imprisoned him inside it. another flaw with the movie, but it's ok.

Actually, according to Rebirth, his ring worked on yellow because instead of not having fear like the others, he had fear, and worked through it. As far as the storyline... I know all of the stuff that happened, that's what wikipedia is for. I'm glad you're enthusiastic about it... I find all of the Black Lantern back from the dead stuff to be really incredibly stupid.

Personally I love the other colors, because it does make sense. I mean they do go based on the light spectrum, and each have a place in an emotional spectrum. Of course black and white don't fit into that category but both are mentioned throughout the story. The biggest reason I like it is because Geoff Johns took things already established in the GL story and brought them to the forefront.
Well Really the yellow impurity thing doesn't matter anymore since it was removed from all of the rings and they have been given permission to go full force. In rebirth they're not saying that's why it worked on yellow. It's simply pointing out that is why Kyle is powerful, because even Hal the "man without fear" was crippled by fear and was forced to overcome it. All of the Lanterns have fear, but each have their own ways of overcoming. Pretty sure all this is covered in Sinestro corps. war.

It makes sense... because they retconned the Green ring to represent the "emotion" of Will (will is an emotion? Really DC?)
It only "makes sense" because they wrote it backwards. Things always make sense if you back into them.

I enjoyed the movie. Having low expectations always makes a movie better. Unless the movie sucks so bad that having no expectations still doesn't make it better. Anyway, 6/10 I say it gets. Maybe a 7. Could have been done better and they should have kept Hector alive. I liked that guy and his giant head and mind reading abilities. But it was still good.

It was interesting. It's just a series of vignettes showcasing the stories of different Green Lanterns. The one I enjoyed most was the story of "the first Lantern"

GL movie was pretty good. I'm not a super-devout follower, but I liked it. Didn't care for the mask--looked silly, but that's the costume. Did like GL using the iconic, big-arse fist to punch Parallax into the sun, tho.

Yeah, the mask thing was silly, but at least they were aware of it, and had Carol comment about it being silly in the movie.
