- worth experiencing

Intrigued by the latest batch of footage for the live-action movie, I gave this a look to get an idea of Green Lantern -- to learn what he's all about. This film rushes through what should be key moments (like Abin Sur / the origin), and as a result I never came to care much for Hal Jordan as a character. Still, the concept is interesting enough, even if the characters fall a bit flat. Fleshed out over a full feature, this could be a great story. This telling, strong action aside, is just okay.

Detective Stabler is the Green Lantern holy shit

Boring, uninteresting and forgettable.

Another solid, entertaining DC animated film. A little too much time is spent on the final battle, but I will forgive it for being over the top in all the best ways.

Timm and company have opted for a very anime-esque look for the space-faring adventures of the Corps, and I thought it fit perfectly. The action scenes are dynamic, exciting, and non-stop, but end up hurting the movie as a whole as it left no room for other things. It's bad when the villain of the film gets more character development than the hero. It's a great primer for those with a short attention span and not familiar with GL, but the current run of comics by Johns is much more rewarding.

I enjoyed this, but that's probably because I really like Green Lantern

Stunning animation, great direction and the voices are all top quality. The story is fun and satisfying. I wish they could have done a series instead of a one-shot film, as people who aren't familiar with the characters may not get a chance to get invested in them. A really fun film, all the same. This may be my favorite interpretation of Sinestro.

It's a good introduction to the Green Lantern story -- especially given the poor efforts that characterise much of the DC animated catalogue -- but ultimately it feels a little rushed. Still, it's one of the better animated comics films out there, and so should be a serious consideration for anyone even remotely interested in the category.

I'm usually not one to get upset about something not following the book closely enough. Movies are movies. Books are books. In this case, comics are comics. My problem lies in the lack of depth in "Green Lantern: First Flight"; a depth seen throughout the comic book series. You're given the surface of each character, in order to have them have a gigantic space battle, followed by another and another. The problem with this strategy is, if they all imploded and died, I would care just the same.
