This movie caught all us watching off guard. We thought this was going to be an typical kiddie cartoon. This was not a Saturday morning cartoon. Action packed and informative storyline. Seriously enjoyed this movie. Watch for the violence not for children to young.

I got the item in good time before the etsimated date for delivery. The item it self is was good shape, but I couldnt use the item in my DVD player because it was designed for US and northamerica zone only. I was told this before I bougth the item. So it wasnt any suprise for me. But item work great on DVD players with none disc free zone or players who are designed for zone 1.

I rented this movie and liked it enough to buy a copy. What I liked most about this movie, was that it hit upon the theme of Hal Jordan becomming one of the greatest lanterns through his grit and determination. There is even a scene where he must survive without his ring. I just felt the movie captured that key point of him being a hero regardless of the humongous power and responsibility placed upon him. I also liked how it showed his resourcefulness as a "mere" human, reminiscent of the Flash Gordon theme. All in all I felt it also had a decent use of humor and drama. Artwork and story were all good to me...

The movie eschews logic and wit in favor of being a big-time action movie with no moral center and no emotional drive.
Which is a shame, b/c any good movie follows SOME kind of logic, and Green Lantern's world has benefited in the past by wit (a Superman episode using 2nd-tier Lantern Kyle Rainer comes to mind) and has most certainly suffered in the past without it (the John Stewart Green Lantern of the Justice League cartoon).
In brief, the film jumps right into the action, turning pilot Hal Jordon into superhero Green Lantern within the first 10 or 15 minutes. While that might sound fun, you end up with no emotional connect with the character. Imagine if Iron Man was missing the first 25 minutes or the first two Spider-Man movies were missing the first 30 -- that's what we have here.
While we see a host of characters fans have clamored for, and the voice work and casting is truly EXCELLENT (including an interestingly cast John Larroquette [Night Court, Boston Legal]), it does nothing to help this brainless actioner be anything but 2nd-rate ideas live-action action directors Roland Emerich or Michael Bay would have tossed aside.
Try Justice League: Savage Time -- far more depth, far more interesting, and far, far more clever.

Green Lantern: First Flight presents us the origin of Hal Jordan becoming Green Lantern. For those not well-versed in the comics history, the initial development is very much in line with the classic origin from the DC Comic many decades ago. A spaceship crashes on Earth with a dying alien on board. This alien commands his ring to find a worthy replacement. This worthy individual is test pilot Hal Jordan.
Jordan quickly finds himself caught up in cosmic-scale events, as the Green Lantern Corps arrest him for possessing the ring without permission of the overseers of the Corps. Jordan faces the accusation that he is unworthy and quickly proves himself to be a natural at wielding the ring, despite his inexperience. He is embroiled in a conspiracy that reaches to very high levels in the Corps, but his own innate talent and determination allow him to overcome great odds in pursuit of true justice.
While the story is not exactly in line with the comic origin of Hal as Green Lantern, this movie does go far to show why he was regarded as the greatest Lantern ever, since despite his inexperience he takes on and defeats the prior claimant to that title. There are a number of violent deaths in this movie, so it's not exactly intended for small kids to watch though they surely see worse in video games these days.
This is a fantastic story told with wonderful animation that surpasses all the other movies in the line thus far. Even with voice actors who I would not have chosen, the creators delivered in First Flight a wonderful origin story for one of the core DCU characters.
