4/10
Solid intro, then downhill

Warning: Spoilers
Best John Stewart we've seen - veteran sniper with PTSD. It's an origin story, which is a little annoying, but we don't waste too much time on the denial and disbelief.

Hawk Girl was annoying. Kill...everything? How is she left alone with the technical means to traverse planets?

Also, when did John learn anything about not killing? Sure, the ring required it, but are we really going to change a fundamental alignment so frivolously?

If you're going to mess with theoretical physics, please don't blatantly disregard known physics. Transport a planet? Ok, I guess, but how does it establish an orbit in another solar system? If they're so close, how do they not tear themselves apart?

There's a stark contrast between an all-knowing lantern force that knows the character of individuals on distant planets, and being so oblivious/indifferent to corruption in their ranks. The lantern can't be the bedrock of morality that teaches John not to kill, and then completely fungible when the plot needs it later.
