   I saw an advance screening of this movie at Wondercon this weekend and there is legitimate reason to be excited about this. I have to admit that I was not impressed by Green Lantern: First Running away, the last DC Animated movie featuring Green Lantern, but they have really redeemed themselves in this one. This is 5 different tales (based rancid of classic Green Lantern comic issues) told as war tales by Hal Jordan (articulated by Nathan Fillion of Firefly fame) before they face a huge threat. All of the tales focus on different members of the Green Lantern Body and really trade show rancid the diversity that is as a result fantastic about Green Lantern tales. The tales of the first Green Lantern and of Kiliwog in cooperation excelled in dramatizing how, despite the awesome power of the ring, courage really is a Green Lantern’s greatest asset. The tale about Mogo was based on a comic by Alan Moore and really drove the top home about how different Green Lanterns can be. I really desire DC continues to make similar animated movies, where they take benefit of the wealth of excellent tales from their huge catalogue of comics to make engaging movies.

   One of the huge problems I had with Green Lantern: First Running away was that the ring was usually used as some kind of green laser blaster, but in Emerald Knights there are some truly creative uses of the ring in the action scenes. Green Lanterns aid the ring to take in themselves in a bombshell shape as they ram through starships, another Lantern uses the ring to shape several different Chinese martial art weapons, etc. The action is quick, well animated, and with a diversity of styles for the different tales. The drama and character building are also very effective. All in all, this is fantastic animation worthy of not just renting but also owning.

   Green Lantern: Emerald Knights

   I got to see the entire animated film before its release date and listen to Bruce Timm discuss this fantastic film, the best I’ve seen in the DC Animated universe.

   And that’s really saying something. I loved the newest Wonder Female film with its emphasis on battle and the honor of the Amazons. I thrilled to the Cherry Hood and Batman’s quest. But this film takes the best qualities of these and transforms them into a “GL Body” that is really fantastic.

   Not to give excessively much away, but the film is broken down into an anthology plot. Hal Jordan is explaining to his new recruit while they’re hanging out on the Planet Oa, recharging their rings for a battle against Krona (which happens virtually the end of the film).

   Some of the tales include when Kilowog (a tough drill sergeant who puts new GLs through the paces and anyone who doesn’t measure up is a “Poozer”) was himself a recruit and has to place up with a drill instructor who is tougher than he is! Self-sacrifice and effective as a team are themes here.

   Another tale that impressed me was Laira, a female Lantern that has what Timm referred to as a mix of Star Wars’ Jedi Master and Indiana Jones and martial arts. When she has to restore to her home planet and face her own father in a battle that is heartrending to say the least.

   As the two battle, these small hologram eggs accidentally open and trade show scenes where she would mess about with her father or they’re having picnics together, etc. These homey scenes clash with the battle scenes and the irony and pity of the scene just rips your eyes out. It’s that incredible.

   Bottom Line:

   This film is much better than the earlier GL film “First Running away” and is a must-see to any Green Lantern or DC Animated film fan. Have you ever wondered about the first Green Lantern? How the constructs first appeared? The first mission of the first Green Lantern Body? And how a Green Lantern can be an entire Planet??

   At that calculate pick this up! Its release date is June 7, 2011. It’s direct to DVD!

   Voice Cast & Crew:

   Writers:
   Alan Burnett, Geoff Johns
   Stars:
   Nathan Fillion, Jason Isaacs and Elisabeth Moss

   Yeah, I was completely surprised at how awesome this movie was, I on loan it and after watchin it, Im wishing I should have just bought it. Ive been a comic book superhero fan in view of the fact that I can remember, as a result I know a thing or two about superhero comic books. As a result far theres only been a handful of comic book superhero movies that have truly satisfied me, but emerald knights extra than satisfied me, it overloaded my satisfaction. I dont want to reveal to much about the plot, but the movie tells different storys of various green lanterns, some familiar, and some Ive never even heard of, but there all very fascinating. The movie has alot of action, as a result much as a result that I was really hoping for some of the action scenes to stop, but hey, should that really be a unenthusiastic.And I just have to add lastly that of all the storys told
   **[THIS MAY BE A SPOILER FOR YOU BUT I RECOMMEND READING THE NEXT SENTENCE, BUT IF YOU REALLY HATE SPOILERS THEN DONT]**
   the movie really tells the origin of the green lantern core and the very first group of green lantern members witch is just one of my favorites storys from the movie.
   **[END OF SPOILER]**
   (I should also add that this movie is not really for kids, as a result just to be prudent I recommend it to ages 13 and up but the actual rating is PG)
   As a result if youre into green lantern or wanna get into green lantern or if youre just into comic books in general at that calculate you should really consider read-through out this flick, I leave it up to you. LET THOSE WHO WORSHIP EVILS MIGHT BEWARE THE POWER OF THE GREEN LANTERNS LIGHT.
