 Good flick, but consistency wouldn't hurt. July 10, 2010

First Flight covers the Green Lantern basics well, but those who are unfamiliar with GL will probably be confused near the end. It introduces the setting nicely; Hal Jordan as the first human, Sinestro as the rising villain, the GL Corps, the Green Element, and the Guardians as a frustratingly ineffective authority. However, they seem to leave their explanations at half-mast, telling you just enough so you understand but not enough to develop it into something really unique and interesting. It's a little like "here's the ring, here's the battery, it's powered by this green rock. Got it? Let's go kick alien butt!" Seeing as it takes place almost entirely in outer space, First Flight is unique when compared to the other animated features. I liked the character development, I really believed it was Hal Jordan's human ingenuity and determination that made him so powerful. Sinestro is handled very well and his character arc is one of the best things in the film.
While an entertaining space opera adventure, First Flight simply lacks the congruency to make it a great animated feature. I was willing to cut it some slack, but my wife made a good argument that the audience needed more explanation about how the Green Lantern and Yellow Lantern batteries work, how they can fly around and shoot stuff, and how they're related to the individual rings themselves. Apparently this discrepancy is because First Flight draws on knowledge and events from the comic series, which is okay, but it goes largely unexplained. Don't get me wrong, First Flight is entertaining and a fun watch, but some more consistency wouldn't have hurt.
 Disappointing... June 11, 2010

As a GL fan as well as a DCAU and DCU fan, I was extremely excited when I heard that Green Lantern was going to get his own animated movie. I made it through little more than half way when I realized that this movie isn't exactly all I was hoping it would be. After struggling though the rest of this "masterpiece", I came to the conclusion that, to me, this was a really boring movie!
I could go on and on about what I didn't like about this, but I'll spare you all. One thing I did enjoy was the voice acting; Christopher Meloni as GL was especially inspiring, as was Victor Garber as Sinestro and Michael Madsen as Kilowog.
Other than that, the story was underdeveloped and dull, and the characters themselves were as well. Plenty of action, but not much of anything else.
"Green Lantern: First Flight". This flight needs to be grounded, permantently.
 GL - and especially Hal Jordan! - fans will like this one! May 30, 2010

Hardcore GL fans will like this one! The voice acting was well done and it was entertaining to watch. I was much more a Superman and Batman fan before this, but I am swiftly becoming a convert to the Green Lantern camp!
Greatest Green Lantern Movie May 23, 2010

Just like my title says, but I think its the only Green Lanter film out there. Nonetheless it is fantastic. When Hal Jordan recites the Green Lantern oath, it gave me goose bumps.

Pilot Hal Jordan goes for the ride of his life when his test pod is mysteriously transported from the safety of an airforce hanger to a rocky desert only to encounter a bizarre dying alien named Abin Sur, who had summoned Jordan via his powerful. Abin Sur dies and Hal's world is turned upside down and he is introduced to the Green Lantern Corps, guardians of the galaxy. Under the tutelage of Sinestro, Hal learns to use his newfound power and witness, thanks to Sinestro's words and actions, that the Guardians of Oa--those who created the Green Lantern Corps and the green lantern power battery--have grown soft in their approach to intergalactic crime. Sinestro believes a more stern approach is needed and so takes Hal under his wing to show him that might makes right.
The Corps faces a crisis as the Yellow Element--the only force capable of weakening the Green Element, which powers the Corps's green battery on Oa--has been stolen. Should it be used against them, the Green Lantern Corps will crumble and the galaxy as we know it will no longer be protected and chaos and evil will reign.
Green Lantern, to me, has always been a cool character, yet he's also always been an overlooked character outside the realm of us hardcore superhero guys. Batman? Sure. Superman? We know him even better. Spider-Man? Yeah, good movies on the big screen. But Green Lantern? Wasn't he that green guy from that old Super Friends show, the one with that ring that does stuff and, um, well . . .
Green Lantern is an outside character. He's known and he's unknown. I think of him like Superman, the difference being is he takes the ring off and he's a guy like you and me. Superman doesn't have that option because no matter what kind of clothes he's wearing, he'll always be a Kryptonian. Green Lantern: First Flight reminds us of that: that beneath the cool power ring Hal Jordan is just your average guy.
I really appreciated the origin tone of this movie and even more so that 99% of it didn't take place on Earth. Here we got to get a solid look at the world of Green Lantern, which is an intergalactic one and not confined to a bustling Metropolis or an eerie Gotham.
To see the Green Lantern Corps--all those aliens with varied green uniforms--really added to the scope of what the Corps is all about and a visual reminder that humanity's protection is only a small part of what they do. According to this movie, there are 3600 green lanterns, each with their own sector to watch over. Solid.
I had only a couple minor quibbles with this movie. I thought Hal Jordan dove into the Green Lantern thing rather quickly. He gets the ring and suddenly--BAM--he's all green and knows what to do. He also seemed too casual and calm about all these alien encounters he suddenly finds himself having. If that was you or me, we'd be freaking out the second Abin Sur showed up, green ring or otherwise.
Likewise, Hal Jordan seemed to be the only guy who got back to wearing regular clothes when the ring came off, whereas everyone else still retained their uniform. I thought the uniform came with the ring. Take the ring off and you're back to wearing whatever it was when you put it on.
Again, minor, but something I would have liked to have seen handled better.
I know that comic books and comic book movies are not as much for kids as they used to be. Once again this DC film has some foul language in it. Not impressed because it's kids asking their moms for these flicks. It's not like the old days where superhero cartoons were clean language-wise.
The action is great. The fights are cool.
If Green Lantern: First Flight is meant as a primer for the upcoming live action film, man, we're in for a real treat and an awe-inspiring experience coming 2011.
This flick is solid, enjoyable and fun. Check it out.
