Editorial Review: Product Description: GREEN LANTERN-FIRST FLIGHT (BLU-RAY/WS-16X9) Amazon.com: Green Lantern: First Flight is an animated and lively origin story about the transformation of test pilot Hal Jordan into a member of an intergalactic society watching over the universe. Flying an experimental jet one day, Jordan (voiced by Law and Order: Special Victims Unit's Christopher Meloni) encounters a dying alien who is a Green Lantern protector of Earth's sector of the cosmos. The alien's ring, a repository of enormous power granted by a council of elders called the Guardians, zips onto Jordan's finger, but neither the Guardians nor other Green Lanterns are ready to accept him as an unproven member. Complicating things for Jordan is the fact that the Green Lantern tasked with mentoring him, Sinestro (Victor Garber), is plotting the destruction of the Guardians with the acquisition of "yellow power," the only force that makes the Lanterns' green power useless. Jordan's resilience and willingness to throw himself in harm's way for the good of everyone gain respect, but his inevitable showdown with Sinestro is an epic fight. This PG-13 feature is a bit bloody, and there are a few swear words, but most of the violence arises from that familiar, shape-shifting light emanating from Jordan's ring. Happily, there is some of the old DC Comics wit in the way his Green Lantern ring shapes its beam into such imaginative weapons as a golf club and a flyswatter. A second DVD packed with special features includes background on Sinestro, a Justice League short, a featurette on the making of Green Lantern: First Flight, and, best of all, "Duck Dodgers: The Green Loontern." --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - Very Good Superhero MovieI can't say I know all about every Green Lantern hero since its inception, but knew enough to know that this particular hero was worth a look on DVD. Well, I'm very glad I bought it and it is a welcome addition to my collection. I bought it recently and already watched it several times. Some might have a problem with it's lack of origin development, but I think the "quick get things started right away" choice was a good one in this case. The animation/art design worked, and shined ...

Read More Rating: - The best of its kindIt's as good as can be expected for a cartoon movie about an underappreciated DC Comics character. Sure, he's not Superman but I find the story of Hal Jordan and the Green Lanter Corps to be the most interesting of all the DC universe. This rendition is not exactly how it happened but it's close enough for CA movie standards; meaning movies that claim to be "based on a true story" are about 50% accurate at best. I look forward to the live-action movie coming out 2011. Rating: - First Flight Is First RateGreen Lantern is one of those characters in the DC Universe that never got the respect that other DC superheroes got via TV series, movied, or prime billing in cartoons. So unless you're a hardcore GL comics reader, you might not have a good background on the Green Lantern character or mythology. Don't worry ! This is a top-flight Blu-Ray disc in both substance and style. Their is plenty of action, great fight scenes, funny lines, and a tight, compact story. The origins of the Green ... Read More Rating: - A comic book movie not for kidsThis movie is a tough one to review. I always try to review movies in the context of what they were attempting to do, e.g. a slapstick comedy cannot be compared to a drama. That said, hard to tell what they were going for here. Maybe its a cartoon movie just for 18-24 year olds? If that is the case, its a narrow demographic target. I won't go into the whole fanboy argument of how much fidelity this has for the comic book established material. I think they did an OK job of capturing the mythos of ...
