Green Lantern: Caballeros esmeralda

Emerald Knights has a story it does, but it makes up a small percentage of the film as most of it is short tales being regaled to the newest member of the Lantern Corps.

Some are good, some are meh, but the whole thing felt very incomplete due to this.

With fantastic voice talent including Nathan Fillion, Henry Rollins & Kelly Hu the effort/budget clearly went into this but alike the original Green Lantern offering I simply don't get the appeal.

Weird aliens, bizzare powers and lore that keeps shifting.

What bugs me about all these animated movies is that they aren't connected and have no consistency. Characters who died are back, events that happened never took place etc etc and that's very evident here. They really need to make an animated universe and stick with it.

Emerald Knights isn't terrible, I'm just not the demographic.

The Good:

Opening sequence was brutal

Kelly Hu & Henry Rollins

The Bad:

Contradicts the lore in places

Spread rather thin

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

The guardians are smurfs

The six Green Lantern stories in a single animation film. Kilowog and Mogo are the coolest. Thanks to HBO Asia for giving us this.

A movie full of many references that support the universe or setting of the Green Lanterns, being quite entertaining with great moments and admirable characters. "Green Lantern: Emerald Knights" is the sum of several short films of different stories that come together and add weight for fans of the Lanterns. A feature film that is not a sequel to "Green Lantern: First Flight" and that might help you disconnect a bit, yet it still has its merits and deserves a chance.

Directors Lauren Montgomery, Jay Oliva, and Christopher Berkeley did a simple yet quite memorable job, adding a very sustainable meaning to the vast universe that these characters inhabit within DC Comics, thus providing a very pleasant experience for viewers and fans. A movie that has a well-crafted narrative and speaks for itself with each scene; moreover, it places our favorite lantern as a mentor to Arisia Rrab from the perspective of a storyteller of great tales.

"Green Lantern: Emerald Knights" features memorable animation, with a significant improvement over its predecessor and a high level of detail in the drawings, line work, and fluidity of movement. Thus achieving a result that is more than satisfactory and worthy of admiration. The color tones among the characters' costumes, their armor, spaceships, and the environments of different planets look amazing. The soundtrack complements the moments of action and reflection very well.

The movie encompasses exceptional reflective messages, leaving a significant contribution for the little ones at home and even for those who revisit these animated films. The way they address themes such as teamwork, justice, inequality, revenge, remorse, sacrifice, good deeds, wars, heroism, personal growth, cunning, relationships with family, legacy, innocence, leaps of faith, willpower, positivity, respect, and reward is phenomenal.

Kilowog seems like an amazing character to me; what he brings to the movie, his perspective on things, and that little bit of comedy is truly memorable. On the other hand, Laira is a great Green Lantern, showcasing scenes of incredible battles and how she even fights against her own family for true justice and peace for her people. It would be very interesting to see Laira in a showdown against Wonder Woman.

Green Lantern Emerald Knights is a soft reboot to Green Lantern First Flight. It uses the same art style as First Flight but the events in the two films are not connected in any way. In this one, Hal Jordan is already a well established Green Lantern, while First Flight has him starting out as a Green Lantern. With the plot lines with Sinestro in both films, no way this one is exactly a sequel per say. This one does have way more exposition, of which is why I prefer this one. It does really does a good job at developing the universe, way more so than First Flight. If you want any recommendations for Green Lantern films, this is the one I would recommend the most.

In the midst of preparing the Green Lantern Corps in the face of threats from hiding enemies, Hal Jordan tells the story of the Green Lantern members against a new recruit, Arisia.

This film is not part of the sequel to the film Green Lantern: First Flight. This film does take character designs from previous films, ranging from the designs of Sinestro, Hal Jordan, Kilowog, Tomar, Abin Sur, Guardians to Arisia itself. Overall, this film does have a much better visual appearance than the previous film. Green Lantern: Emerald Knights presents more stories from Green Lantern Coprs members, such as Kilowog, Laira, Mogo and Abin Sur rather than discussing resistance to Krona, the antagonist in this film. Krona itself became a warmer and sweetener of stories only. Without action-packed resistance and not too much trouble. Also resisted with quick and precise strength. There wasn't much to see Hal Jordan's action in action or anything else. The stories told did not have any influence on the main conflict, namely against Krona. This film tries to give an introduction to other iconic characters who often appear in Green Lantern stories. Not only from the four characters, but the story of the beginning of the first ceirta existence of the Green Lantern Corps itself. Naturally, this film is not a sequel and looks different from the previous film.
