Green Lantern: First Flight is an awesome film. It doesn’t waste a lot of time on the origin (which takes place in the first few minutes) and heads straight to the action. Some people might see this as detrimental, but I like how the DC animated projects a lot of the time will just assume that you know the basics of what is going on. It saves a lot of time and allows the movie to start getting to the point.

First off, I was surprised at how brutal some of the violence was for this cartoon. I know that these releases are not necessarily tailor-made for children, but this is no JLU episode. People are impaled, shot, torn through walls into the vacuum of space, and there is pretty much non-stop fighting through most of the 120 minutes. I don’t have any problem with that, but it might not be to everyone’s liking.

Plot-wise, it’s not Shakespeare, but we are talking about an action cartoon here. There is a hero, a villain and lots of cool use of the Green Lantern rings. Those were the only prerequisites I was looking for going in to this thing, and I was not disappointed.

The voice cast did a great job as well. If there is one thing that DC always does right, it is casting their voices. Michael Madsen as Kilowog was my personal favorite. Too bad he didn’t have more voice time.

This might possibly be my favorite DVD project of theirs, which is saying a lot considering the fantastic Wonder Woman, New Frontier, and Gotham Knight DVD films. I sincerely hope they continue putting out quality releases like this one.

Well worth the wait. AWESOME!,

I have really be looking forward to this release. I am a big Green Lantern fan. So I was happy to get an early copy of the movie. I am very happy with it. I love it. Best animation DC has done for there home video releases so far in my opinion. Very detailed animation, not just simple outlines like the Justice league animated series, which I love also. The character design is well done, great attention to detail. The green lanterns suits are 10 times more detailed then the Justice league animated versions. Voice acting is great.
They made a great choice in picking Christopher Meloni as the voice of Hal Jordon. He rocks.

As far as story, they show how he he gets is power ring and then it is right into the action. This motion is action packed. I don’t mind that we don’t a lot of his back story, just enough to get you going, they already did that in The New Frontier movie last year. You get to see hundreds of green lanterns.

I highly recommended this film. I hope they make another Green Lantern movie in the future because I wanna see more of his adventures.

Totally worth Buying,

After watching the film and seeing all the other movies of the series I would say that this film was the best of the DC animated films. It has a incredible plot, although it is not the full origin story of Hal Jordan it doesn’t leave you with alot of questions. Totally worth the wait
