Green Lantern: The Animated Series

OK so normally I don't usually do this sort of thing but since I have finished watching the show I have felt that I have to say something cause I cant contain it.

Anyway so I have never been a huge Green Lantern fan but my husband is and so when he said we were going to watch the GLTAS I was none too thrilled cause I had seen commericals of it on TV before and was not interested whats so ever but let me tell you something...

This show is flipping amazing! seriously everything about it is wonderful,from the character designs to the witty dialogue and storyline is perfect and I highly recommend anyone who is a fan of superheroes,even if you prefer Marvel over DC to watch this show,not only will you love it but will want more which is also why I'm writing this review...

The only disappoint part of the show is that its only 26 episodes long because it was canceled due to different reasons on Warner Bros. part so when you become a fan like me then you can now be left with painful whole in your heart from all the feels. Although I'am upset the show was canceled I can at least say that the very last episode was satisfying and not a cut mid-plot so overall it was a show ended quickly before its time.

The new Green Lantern: The Animated series, brought to life by uberscribe Bruce Timm, definitely has the goods.

It has good writing, a decent premise and animation, great voice acting and good character portrayal.

The show's CGI animation is actually not that bad, it grew on me. Hal Jordan's character seems a bit off here, to be honest. Instead of being stiff and serious, he's pretty much a space cowboy. It does feel a bit off, but I'm getting used to it.

All in all, the show has great writing and a strong premise. I really enjoy the show and will be glad to see it run at the very least a couple more seasons.

So much better than the mediocre at best movie anyhow. While not one of my favourite animated shows, I found Green Lantern: The Animated Series very interesting. I didn't think the animation was that bad actually, it is simplistic of course but with the fluid colours and backgrounds they do have a slickness too. The only disappointment for me in this regard was the rather goofy character design of Zox. The music is very cool in its intro and is atmospherically haunting in the background scoring. The writing is superb, it is humorous and in a subtle way, intelligent and also has some thought-provoking depth. The premise showed some great promise, and it is more than lived up to in the exciting and very well-written story lines. The characters at least do engage, Hal Jordan does take some getting used to and the guardians' rather petty personalities may also leave some people cold, but the villains(while not on the same level as Sinestro) are fun and I like Ganphet, definitely the most likable of the guardians to me. The voice acting is brooding and dynamic in equal measure. In conclusion, I do love this show, it is not perfect but the potential was there and it has met that potential and I do hope it continues to do so. 9/10 Bethany Cox

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.

This series and the animated direct-to-video movie "Green Lantern: First Flight" got me to love the superhero, the Green Lantern. I had looked at episode snippets on YouTube out of curiosity, and I really wanted to see the series before purchasing the DVD sets.

I had watched the first thirteen episodes during the week, and I thought it was an awesome series. It's also a fantastic depiction of DC Comics' interplanetary superhero. I loved Season One's arc "The Red Lantern War," in which Hal Jordan and Kilowog travelled through the far reaches of space in a prototype spacecraft called The Interceptor. Atrocitus and his Red Lantern Corps were killing Green Lantern Corps members.

You know, it's a shame that they didn't produce another season. So anyway, I really love this series.
