3.5/5
Dense with fun action and cosmic lore, the film is unapologetically intended for fans of the source material, though it struggles as an effective origin tale. Go to Full Review

3/4
Green Lantern: First Flight does more in a little over an hour than most live-action comic-book adaptations could do with bloated running times and million-dollar salaries. Go to Full Review
Ryan Cracknell Movie Views 08/15/2009
More interested in the villain than the hero, First Flight is a bland look at one of the sides of the DC universe that's normally much more interesting. Go to Full Review
Peter Canavese Groucho Reviews 08/12/2009
3/4
A literally colorful action-adventure plot...[but] fails to replicate the success of February's Wonder Woman at making its leading character not just kick-ass but fascinating. [Blu-ray] Go to Full Review

Superhero tales are best when they strive for some complexity; this one has an engrossing plot and some solid character development that grown-ups can appreciate. Go to Full Review

Frank J Feb 27 The animation is beautiful! See more Cask and Crow P 01/30/2024 This is the story we should have seen on the big screen. Hands down the most faithful Green lantern story I've seen yet. I highly recommend watching See more Michael C 11/27/2023 Yet another example of how DC does better in animation that in its live action films. "Green Lantern: First Flight" does a very good job of showing us how Hal Jordan became Abin Sur's successor in The Green Lantern Corp. The voice cast is nothing short of terrific. "Law and Order: SVU" veteran Christopher Meloni does a terrific job as the voice of Hal Jordan. Veteran actor Victor Garber is excellent as the voice of Sinestro. The late Malachi Thorne and the late David Lander are very good as well in supporting roles as Guardian Ranakar and Ch'p respectively. Their final acting roles. Michael Madsen is great as the voice of Kilowog. The movie is also very well animated. As you are well aware, you need some substance to go with that style and the writers provide that well with a good script with a well paced and engaging story. After multipole viewings, the movie still holds up. If you have not seen "Green Lantern: First Flight" yet, I highly recommend you do. Enjoy poozer! See more matthias s 11/09/2023 "Green Lantern: First Flight" offers a decent introduction to the Green Lantern Corps and its members, but falls short in terms of character development and animation quality. While the action-packed plot provides some thrills, the characters are not fleshed out enough to truly connect with the audience.Additionally, the animation quality is not up to par with other contemporary animated films. Despite these drawbacks, die-hard Green Lantern fans will still find something to enjoy in this adaptation of the classic comic book. See more Chris M 02/15/2023 With all the life in the universe and alien criminals. The Guardians of the nerve to be racists against humans. The other Lanterns can be just as dickish to Hal too. Which seems odd for a culture that seems to have diverse species of lanterns. Plus, the rings have a fail safe to prevent killing. But it's good, not great. The acting, cast and the animation are very good. Deserves better than the Rotten Tomatoes score. Plus it's way better than the blockbuster movie that came out two years later. See more Marcus P 09/04/2022 This was a great movie with no boring parts that made me want to stop watching! Just an all around fun time!! See more Read all reviews
