I maintain that if they ended up focusing on Sinestro's abuse on his home planet while he's training Hal, and Hal opposing him while trying to become a more worthy Lantern would've been much better. It would've shown that Sinestro abuses his power of the ring while Hal is genuinely a good person who wants to do things right. We never got a sense of that in the movie, and Hal is kind of a D in it. (Like, majorly a D, which doesn't make sense for why we should care about him.)
And then at the end of the movie, the race of aliens that escapes me right now could attack Sinestro's home planet, and the Lanterns would make a defense. Eventually, as the fight winds down, Sinestro goes to sacrifice a bunch of his people to kill off a bunch of the aliens, and Hal Jordan uses his powers to save them, then takes out the aliens himself. Sinestro and Hal come to blows in an epic showdown and then Hal manages to beat him.
Sinestro gets stripped of his ring and isolated deep in space, and then we see him find the Yellow Lantern. The end.
I mean, if you're going to blow tons of money on CGI on effects, then spend it on a huge war on an alien planet, and not a god damn stupid cloud monster.
