The problem is with the ring itself. Did anyone watch the constructs and think "how cool is that?" After awhile, do you even pay attention to all the goofy green contraptions Hal Jordan can create? Those visual effects are just plain boring. That's a huge obstacle to overcome because it's inherent in the character which is why the film fails.
Still, they could've come up with a better tale. The major flaw is spending too much time on OA. You start to mentally check out everything they go back there. The plot should've been rooted on earth to help us relate visually and emotionally to what's happening. Plus, do we need to see the Green Lantern Corp? Focus solely on the Green Lantern as he tries to figure out what's going on and save the Corp for the sequel.
Just a thought. When the ring went searching for the chosen one, it would've been cool to have it
momentarily halt in the presence of Clark Kent or Bruce Wayne before moving on. DC has got to do a better job of integrating their properties. Plus, you give the fanboys something to hoot and holler about with little touches like this.
