Green Lantern: Emerald Knights DVD Movie Review

I actually saw it over a month ago, but since my movie review videos will be on hiatus until another interesting-looking movie comes out, I thought now would be a good time for this.

Green Lantern: Emerald Knights is not only better than the live-action film with Ryan Reynolds, but it's fantastic.

The movie focuses on several Green Lanterns, and some of their greatest battles. All of this is told in a story by Hal Jordan to a new recruit. These stories are being told as an alien villain known as Krona (sort of the villain of the live-action movie too...) is wreaking havoc.

The movie is beautifully animated and has great voice acting.

It's pretty damn worthy of being in the same series as "Batman: Under the Red Hood", "Superman: Doomsday" and "Batman: Gotham Knight".

"Thundercats (2011 Series)" Pilot Review - Those Cats Bring The Thunder

The 80s Thundercats series is not perfect, but is definitely a entertaining piece of animation history. I think a lot of the action of that show still holds up, but a lot of the dialogue and voice acting is somewhat wooden.

The new series combines beautiful visuals with amazing action scenes and superb voice acting. My only real problem is that the villains seem to have little motivation for being evil, but it looks like we will have a lot of development as the series continues!

Strangely, Thundera has gone from an alien planet, to a kingdom on Third-Earth.

Oh, yeah. Snarf is back. But he doesn't talk! YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!

Thundercats, Ho!
