GREEN LANTERN - FIRST FLIGHT
This was pretty good, but not one of the best efforts, imo!!
Not sure what it is about this, as it's got some great action
decent story, and good music! It just didn't grab me like
some of the other animated DC movies have! This one
seemed a little rushed, and maybe had too much going
on for just one movie! They should split it up into two! B+
From IMDb.com:
I've said it before, I'll say it again. The people
who put together Warner Brothers animated DC
universe movies have a lot more on the ball than
the people who spend millions of dollars putting
together the live action films.
Fans already know the story... A dying aliens
finds test pilot Hal Jordan (the second of five
Green Lanterns) and bestows upon him the ring
of the Green Lantern. He is teamed with Sinestro,
a Green Lantern with ambitions of his own.
Sinestro makes a deal with the Weaponers of
Qwad to develop a Yellow Power Ring that
gives him the ability to beat the Lantern Corps.
Okay, that's the basics, but this movie really
elevates an old story into an art form. Christopher
Meloni of Law and Order Fame does a respectable
job as the voice of Jordan. The action scenes are
quite intense for an animated film (almost being
on par with Anime) and I'm almost inclined to say
too intense for small children, but what do I
know. - JoeB131
