There have been two types of criticisms, in general, that I've read.
The first type concerns me - uneven pacing between Oa/Earth, a bit too silly in tone, etc. give me pause.
The second type is irrelevant to me - complaints about the ring/lantern dynamic, "too many aliens", and other stuff that is either something one accepts as part of the framework of the universe or doesn't. I already do, so like I said, irrelevant.
I still plan on seeing it this weekend. I'm expecting a live action version of a fantastical comic story. GL doesn't have the gravitas of a Batman, and I'm glad they haven't tried to make it have one. For all the complaints about Snyder/Nolan maybe making Superman "too dark", GL is getting complaints about being "too light". Light is the right take on GL. I'm just hoping the "too" isn't present.
