Flying an experimental jet one day, Jordan (voiced by Law and Order: Special Victims Unit's Christopher Meloni) encounters a dying alien who is a Green Lantern protector of Earth's sector of the cosmos. The alien's ring, a repository of enormous power granted by a council of elders called the Guardians, zips onto Jordan's finger, but neither the Guardians nor other Green Lanterns are ready to accept him as an unproven member. Complicating things for Jordan is the fact that the Green Lantern tasked with mentoring him, Sinestro (Victor Garber), is plotting the destruction of the Guardians with the acquisition of "yellow power," the only force that makes the Lanterns' green power useless. Jordan's resilience and willingness to throw himself in harm's way for the good of everyone gain respect, but his inevitable showdown with Sinestro is an epic fight. This PG-13 feature is a bit bloody, and there are a few swear words, but most of the violence arises from that familiar, shape-shifting light emanating from Jordan's ring. Happily, there is some of the old DC Comics wit in the way his Green Lantern ring shapes its beam into such imaginative weapons as a golf club and a flyswatter. A second DVD packed with special features includes background on Sinestro, a Justice League short, a featurette on the making of Green Lantern: First Flight, and, best of all, "Duck Dodgers: The Green Loontern." --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - Good flick, but consistency wouldn't hurt.First Flight covers the Green Lantern basics well, but those who are unfamiliar with GL will probably be confused near the end. It introduces the setting nicely; Hal Jordan as the first human, Sinestro as the rising villain, the GL Corps, the Green Element, and the Guardians as a frustratingly ineffective authority. However, they seem to leave their explanations at half-mast, telling you just enough so you understand but not enough to develop it into something really unique and interesting. It's ...

I made it through little more than half way when I realized that this movie isn't exactly all I was hoping it would be. After struggling though the rest of this "masterpiece", I came to the conclusion that, to me, this was a really boring movie! I could go on and on about what I didn't like about this, but I'll spare you all. One thing I did enjoy was ...

I was much more a Superman and Batman fan before this, but I am swiftly becoming a convert to the Green Lantern camp! Rating: - Greatest Green Lantern MovieJust like my title says, but I think its the only Green Lanter film out there. Nonetheless it is fantastic. When Hal Jordan recites the Green Lantern oath, it gave me goose bumps. Rating: - First Flight? Let's Hope There's a Second!4.5 out of 5 Pilot Hal Jordan goes for the ride of his life when his test pod is mysteriously transported from the safety of an airforce hanger to a rocky desert only to encounter a bizarre dying alien named Abin Sur, who had summoned Jordan via his powerful. Abin Sur dies and Hal's world is turned upside down and he is introduced to the Green Lantern Corps, guardians of the galaxy. Under the tutelage of Sinestro, Hal learns to use his newfound power and witness, thanks to Sinestro's words ...
