Review of Green Lantern: Emerald Knights (2011) by Matt R — 11 Aug 2011
This is the 11th animated DVD feature in DC's current run. It'll probably be awhile before they do another one as good as last year's 'Batman:Under the Red Hood', but 'Green Lantern:Emerald Knights' is probably my 2nd fav of the whole lot.
instead of one main story, it's basically six 14min stories (1 main one, with 5 others cut into it). usually this would dilute the overall impact, but I found the short-form storytelling was so strong in each section that the result was just a different type of triumph.
I guess it also succeeds at introducing newcomers to the green lantern universe and characters in preparation for the upcoming live-action film (not that it's a prequel or anything). I always enjoy listening to Nathan Fillion (Firefly) who voices Hal Jordan in this.
and Kelly Hu's performance is also really good.
