I like what they're doing with the alien lanterns...IE making them truly alien, not just a bunch of "rubber forehead/facial prosthetic guys." One of the rare instances where the movie is an improvement on the comics.

To be fair, while they movie "aliened up" some of the lanterns like Tomar Re, they also toned down some, like Kilowog.
And likewise, the comics are rich with alien lanterns that are more than "just a bunch of rubber fore/headfacial prosthetic guys." Tons of Lanterns that couldn't be done that way, like Salaak, Kryb, and Brother Warth.
