Very disappointed :(

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

I'm a bit lost for words, this Green lantern animated series was amazing, really well made. I thought the film was OK but this animated series was great. It's just a shame it was a bit short at only 26 short episodes, but this is a bit like chocolate truffles with either alcohol or fruit centre like strawberry, which are small and expensive but so much more enjoyable than any other bigger chocolates. I'm 30 years old now but I've still enjoyed this animated kids show from every point of view. In particular I've enjoyed the dialogue with it's occasional seriousness and technical words. That makes this show appeal to the older audience as well as even more so for the younger audience.I have to compare this animated show to others. A lot of other animated shows are boring mainly because of their dialogue, that sounds like it was made to appeal to only bichy little spoilt brat teenagers. So even though most kids shows have some of that, this show was much more "grown up" from that point of view. I hope that there will be more animated shows like this one.

This series was better than expected . The idea of a CGI animated series wasn't appealing to me but since the great Bruce Timm was the producer and well known for Batman The Animated Series, i gave it a shot and it was worth it . It had an excellent plot , at first i thought it would be only Hal Jordan vs Sinestro but it was more Red Lanterns vs Green Lanterns with other side stories and romance which was quite amazing to watch . The love between Aya and Red Lantern Razor was a great story to this series .Also the voice cast was good for this series definitely underrated and left us with a cliff hanger . Would love to see another season , it definitely deserves a season 2!!!

I was born in 1982, and thus, I have experienced many low-quality Saturday morning cartoons with insipid plots and terrible voice acting. I was able to casually saunter past the likes of Pokemon and Naruto, while remembering shows like ReBoot and of course, Batman: The Animated Series.While my childhood consisted primarily of TMNT, Transformers, and later, Power Rangers, I have to appreciate a well-done animated series. As has been mentioned, Bruce Timm is as the helm of this, and I honestly think it shows. In fact, the writing of this show, in some ways, outshines that of Batman: TAS in some ways.When I was young, the idea of a season-long story-arc was almost unheard-of. Yes, you had recurring themes, constant bad-guys, and plenty of returning characters, but most of what I grew up with was far more episodic than this. Batman: TAS was largely episodic, with the occasional two-part episode. This show manages to flow between episodes in a way that Doctor Who has put forward. No, I doubt there are any hidden clues or quiet plot elements that will show up later, as is seen in Doctor Who, but this show is giving me the feel of a very long movie, rather than several episodes of a TV show.The animation absolutely sucks. I'm not going to lie here. Despite what I've seen so far as an absolutely wonderful series, the animation is still stuffed into that god-awful CGI "Clone Wars" garbage. That doesn't mean it's not enjoyable, however. I grew up in a time when re-using animation was the norm, and only existed to sell us kids the latest toys. This isn't anything like that, however. The animation rightfully takes a back-seat to telling a fluid, compelling story. It's unrealistic and, well, cartoony. And in some ways, that's actually beneficial. I take back the statement that it absolutely sucks, actually. It's simplistic, but fluid. It's exaggerated, but identifiable. Even the female characters exude enough femininity for a kids' cartoon, and that works just fine for me. Overall, yes, it looks like something Genndy Tartovsky would vomit out, but it suits the show better than ultra-realistic, or even hand-drawn would do in this day and age.The storyline, so far as I've seen, is simply well-done. As mentioned before, it's a very clear ongoing series, not just episodes. It's very much an adventure series, with an epic quest intertwined throughout. I don't want to have to throw a spoiler tag on this, so I won't give anything away, but I will say that the overall feel is very strong. From the first episode, I had a feeling it was going to be a typical kids' show with everyone having a hearty laugh at the end of each episode. In some ways, it does this, just as many serials do, but it doesn't give you a feeling of closure each episode. You want to keep watching to find out what happens.Overall, I'd put this show into the category of "serial", rather than "episodic". Mainly meaning, yes, every episode has them visiting different events and meeting new people, but it is ongoing, rather than a "let's go save the world, okay, world's saved, let's head back home" sort of thing. In a way, it feels a bit like Star Trek: Voyager, rather than Batman: TAS. It's well-handled, and very engrossing.The voice acting is good. Really, that's one of the few things that hold this review back from being a 9. It's not spectacular, nor is it endearing. Oftentimes, I feel like the character is being played as a gross exaggeration, rather than as a good character. It's a fairly minor quibble, but it's there. The feeling of emotion that one might get from, say, Batman Begins, isn't there, but it doesn't really need to be.In the end, I'd say this is one of the better animated shows I've run across in recent years. I'm not even much of a DC Comics fan, but I find myself very interested in this show. Maybe the fact that I'm not hugely into Hal Jordan helps this a bit. I don't mind that he's missing the white accents in his hair, nor that his characterization is different from the comics. The term "space cowboy" has been used here many times, and I agree with it, to an extent. He's more of a Marshall Dillon than he is a Captain Kirk. So he's not the interpretation that people expected. That, to me, isn't a huge problem with this character. My strongest memory of Hal Jordan is the insanely vengeful being who destroyed Mongul with his bare hands and crushed Machine City in the Return of Superman series. I like that character, but that's not what I expect of a cartoon aimed at young teens.To conclude, this show is definitely worth checking out if you want a good storyline and well-written characters. If you hate long threads of story, or short resolutions to crises, this probably isn't for you. If you're a die-hard DC fan and hate change (because God knows change doesn't happen in the DCU once every couple decades anyway), you might not care for this show. But if you just want to sit down and watch some good, engrossing entertainment, with a decent overall story arc? Go for it.

Ignore any negative reviews you come across, this show is dead good. In fact it seems to completely make up for the disappointment that was the Martian Campbell steered flick that had Ryan Reynolds donning the green suit and ring before eventually fighting a giant evil black bag of literally bones with a head that could be mistaken for radiating sick if not examined closely.Unlike the Movie, This show is much better constructed. It's overall plot and premise isn't too heavily loyal to the original comics and while it does include a bunch of the old stuff from the source material, It also provides new elements and a different continuity and plot allowing it to attract old fans and bring in newer ones who are unfamiliar with Green Lantern.The animation is simplistic yet slick and cool-looking with some great special effects that range from flying spacecraft to bright Green/Red Lantern constructs created from either Willpower or anger. The humour and drama of the sneak-peak which aired on Catoon Network is balanced out nicely. It is also the first part of a two-parter Which I will guarantee will leave you wanting to know more about some of the story threads introduced in that premiere.So overall I'm asking you to give the show a chance even if you didn't like the recent Green Lantern movie (although I admit it wasn't that bad). Don't be put off by a bunch of the negative comments on this page. The Users who put those down probably had their expectations too high or they probably arn't into this sort of stuff. I'm into it. You probably will be too.
