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

 Another great movie March 21, 2010
Vic W. Li (Portland, OR USA)
If you like the other DC movies, you'll like this. Great extras including some episodes from the Justice League/Justice League Unlimited. My fav DC character and wasn't disappointed. Good animation and action.
Very Good Superhero Movie March 20, 2010
Mike Smith
I 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 in many places. The music was gripping and emotive, and added to the intensity of the Green Lantern story, the mystique, the sheer epic nature of the tale. And of course, we come to the rings. There must have been over 20 different uses of the ring's power. No spoilers here, you will have to watch and enjoy discovering how the rings get used for yourself. The movie is fun and far out while remaining understandable, but is very violent and gory at times, so it is not really suited for small children. That said, if you like superhero stories but don't want to wade through the comic books to get your satisfaction, DC has made several comic book hero movies worth your time, and Green Lantern: First Flight is undoubtedly one of them.
well done March 6, 2010

i thought this was a very well done animated movie.it's the origin story of how Hal Jordan became a Green Lantern.i have no idea how close it is to the original comic book origin.but i do knew,i loved the story.i thought it flowed very well,with a good mixture of action and drama.i thought the voice acting was terrific.plus,they seemed to have a good script to work with.i found the dialogue to be really good,as well.none of the usual cheese we tend to see in many animated or even live action movies.i think this particular animated film is as good as any of the recent spate of releases by both Marvel and DC,and it's certainly as entertaining.for me,Green Lantern:First Flight is a 4/5
 The best of its kind January 29, 2010
A. White
It'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.
First Flight Is First Rate January 29, 2010
frankbif (Wesley Hills, New York United States)
Green 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 Lantern Corps, the Green Lantern and Guardians mythology, the green vs.yellow battle -- it's all covered. The story moves very fast and you will not find yourself saying 'come on, come on, get to the good stuff.' The 1080p Blu-Ray Hi-Def production doesn't disappoint and on my Sony 460 Blu-Ray player and a 720p 2006 model plasma, the colors and animation stood out with amazing brilliance. I understand that some characters in the comics are not featured here and a few disappear in this story and timeline, but I'll leave that debate to the GL purists.
There are some nice features on the BR disc, including some nice episodes from Justice League Unlimited that feature the Green Lantern (John Stewart, though). Special features from the people behind the cartoons, the movie, and the Green Lantern comics make for interesting reading for GL novices and experts.
All in all, a top-notch Blu-Ray addition that you will definitely put in the player again after you've seen the movie the first time. You'll find yourself fast-forwarding to the numerous action sequences, conflicts, and the spectacular climactic ending battle numerous times. Let's hope that DC comes out with a worthy sequel featuring the same voice actors and actresses. This is one of the top if not THE top animation movies from either DC or Marvel that has been put out to date and you will NOT be disappointed.
