** No one ever accused Sinestro of being stupid, or anything other than a good judge of character. He's also a skilled manipulator, and came across a hardass, but broadly benevolent, hence why the Guardians trusted him, even if they called him to the carpet for going too far sometimes. Ironically, he had the kind of status that Hal would gain in the comics, of a maverick who grouched about the red tape but was nevertheless trusted implicitly to do the right thing. Sure, they were way judgemental of Hal's humanity, but they came around after Ganthet also believed in Hal and pointed out that the ring wouldn't have ended up on his finger if he didn't deserve it. As a result, they voted unanimously to give him a chance. In summary: Guardians are imperfect, Sinestro's a brilliant manipulator.

** The Guardians desire order as much as Sinestro, if not more. The problem is that they often have LawfulStupid plastered on their heads. Following due process when there's an easier alternative would be just like them.

** They follow due process because they're all about that - they reprimand Sinestro for killing Cuch in custody under interrogation, when telepathy was an option, but it's presented as not being their first choice. Clearly some form of MindOverManners is going on here, as they also call Sinestro to task on the grounds that the Green Lantern corps is an ideal to be upheld.

*** Honestly, this troper found this movie to be one of the few actually benevolent portrayals of the Guardians in recent years

** The Guardians being pretty terrible is a fairly consistent portrayal in other media too.

* It is odd that the Guardians of the Universe are not held responsible in any real way for their role in why things went bad for the Corps. If they weren't so full of themselves, they would have seen a long time ago how much Sinestro hates them. He barely even attempts to hide how much he despises how the Guardians have turned the GL Corps into trash collectors. Also, even before Hal Jordan had a chance to say much of anything to them, the Guardians were already insulting him. Jordan defends himself, and the only character who initially respects Jordan at all is Sinestro. That's right, of all the Green Lanterns or their leaders, Sinestro is the first one to see Hal Jordan's immense potential. Sinestro was quite selfish, but he was smart enough to suspect Jordan could be the only one capable of thwarting what he was planning. That, I believe, was why he orchestrated the Guardians taking Jordan's green ring and then offering him a yellow one: he knew Jordan was possibly the only one with a clue. Before Sinestro crossed the {{Moral Event Horizon}} he had respected Jordan better than anyone and the Guardians only respected Jordan after he'd prevented the complete collapse of the Corps.

It seems odd that the Guardians of the Universe are not held responsible in any considerable way for their role in why things went bad. If they weren't so full of themselves, they would have seen a long time ago how much Sinestro hates them. Also, even before Hal Jordan had a chance to say much of anything to them, the Guardians were already insulting his species though Jordan had done nothing except been chosen by Abin Sur's ring. Jordan defends himself, and the only person who initially respects Jordan at all is Sinestro. That's right, of all the Green Lanterns or their leaders, Sinestro is the first one to see Hal Jordan's immense potential for getting things done, and may have suspected Jordan would be the only one capable of thwarting what he was planning, which was why he orchestrated the Guardians taking Jordan's green ring then offering him a yellow one.
