Green Lantern: First Flight is a direct-to-video animated film adaptation of the DC Comics Green Lantern mythology. Centering on the first mission of Hal Jordan (Christopher Meloni), the first human inducted into the Green Lantern Corps, the film is written by veteran DC Comics animation collaborator Alan Burnett, produced by Bruce Timm, and directed by Lauren Montgomery.It is the fifth in the line of DC Universe Original Animated Movies released by Warner Premiere and Warner Bros. Animation, the most recent releases being Batman: Gotham Knight and Wonder Woman.

This was a great adaptation of the main story of Green Lantern Corp.

What I liked: It was well done. The animation was brilliant. The voice acting was great as well. This was a Green Lantern Corp movie and not a Hal Jordon movie. I loved Kilowag. He was exactly how I pictured him acting in the comic. Also the Extras are good on this DVD, with a first look at the next DVD coming out: An animated adaptation of the Comic arc Superman/Batman: Public Enemies. 

What I didn't like: First off was the language. This movie was PG-13 for action violence, but there was use of foul language I do not want my kids repeating. Like "ass", "bastard", "damn", and "what the hell". I also wish in a small way there was more of the Hal Jordon story here.. even though I like the GLC story better, I feel like Hal was a background character. This was a huge story arc they fit into a very short cartoon. It felt very very rushed.
