The six Green Lantern stories in a single animation film. Kilowog and Mogo are the coolest. Thanks to HBO Asia for giving us this.

Introductory film of members of the Green Lantern Corps
HafizhMaulana2110 February 2023
In the midst of preparing the Green Lantern Corps in the face of threats from hiding enemies, Hal Jordan tells the story of the Green Lantern members against a new recruit, Arisia.
This film is not part of the sequel to the film Green Lantern: First Flight. This film does take character designs from previous films, ranging from the designs of Sinestro, Hal Jordan, Kilowog, Tomar, Abin Sur, Guardians to Arisia itself. Overall, this film does have a much better visual appearance than the previous film. Green Lantern: Emerald Knights presents more stories from Green Lantern Coprs members, such as Kilowog, Laira, Mogo and Abin Sur rather than discussing resistance to Krona, the antagonist in this film. Krona itself became a warmer and sweetener of stories only. Without action-packed resistance and not too much trouble. Also resisted with quick and precise strength. There wasn't much to see Hal Jordan's action in action or anything else. The stories told did not have any influence on the main conflict, namely against Krona. This film tries to give an introduction to other iconic characters who often appear in Green Lantern stories. Not only from the four characters, but the story of the beginning of the first ceirta existence of the Green Lantern Corps itself. Naturally, this film is not a sequel and looks different from the previous film.

Superior to Live Action Film in Nearly Every Way
phxpoet6 December 2011
I picked up Emerald Knights and All-Star Superman for an extremely cheap price during Black Friday weekend and after being somewhat disappointed by the indifferent effort on All-Star Superman I was stunned by the high quality of Emerald Knights. One of the elements I enjoy about the Geoff Johns era of Green Lantern comics is the distinction that's made as to how each Green Lantern wields the power ring. Emerald Knights digs a little deeper and showcases the differences between the various Green Lanterns themselves. Like the artistic renditions, the stories of how Green Lanterns find their own path to greatness are unique and well executed. In all, there are five tales recounted to a rookie member of the Green Lantern Corps as war stories while the collective group prepares to face their greatest challenge; the transition from the current story to the flashback tales can come off as a little forced, but the content is of high enough quality that you will forgive the obvious method of delivery. The only other real shortcomings are that, like the live action Green Lantern movie, the big bad isn't fleshed out a lot and the lack of white incorporated into the costumes can make the Corps look a little homogeneous. Overall, though, check this movie out if you want to see a Green Lantern movie the way it's supposed to be.
As an uninitiated viewer of GL, this was an entertaining space opera
fantasyescapist30 August 2011
After loving the sublime Batman: Under the Red Hood earlier in the year, I decided to give another DC straight-to-DVD animated film a watch and I'm glad I did.
The plot is told as pretty much a frame story of episodic flashbacks of the Green Lantern's past. All I found interesting and easily accessible for a newbie, like myself. There were a few giggles at some of the silliness in the GL universe but that's inherent in the conceit itself, anyway.
The voice acting was mostly strong, the animation had some spectacularly awe-inspiring scenes, the score too was good and it importantly had heart to back up all the spectacle.
Overall, possibly the best superhero film this year in terms of consistency and I like this brave team that's sort of like an intergalactic police force-7/10.

Green Lantern: Emerald Knights (2011)
SnakesOnAnAfricanPlain13 December 2011
I'm a MASSIVE Green Lantern fan. This is a small release that will introduce a lot of the mythology to newcomers before the release of the main live action film. It's really a series of individual stories being told. This means that each one varies in quality. Most are a lot of fun, especially "Mogo Doesn't Socialize". The most distracting thing about this film is that it uses the same character designs from First Flight, but has new voices and a new continuity. This can be overlooked fairly quickly. What's harder to overlook is some of the disappointing vocal work. Fillion, a fan favorite, isn't given enough to do and Jason Isaacs puts in next to zero effort. Rollins is also not gruff enough as Killowog. Vosloo and Rowdy Roddy Piper do excellent stuff. It's a great introduction to such a vast universe, and will preview what a Green Lantern franchise is capable of.
Still holds up well
Milk_Tray_Guy10 January 2023
Hadn't watched this in years (completely forgot Elizabeth Moss voices Arisia!). Nice collection of stories taken from the comics (including two by Alan Moore - although you wouldn't know from the credits! 😂). Some class voice work from Nathan Fillion (his first appearance as Hal Jordan), Jason Isaacs (Sinestro), Kelly Hu (Laira), 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper (Bolphunga), Arnold Vosloo (Abin Sur), Grey DeLisle (pulling triple duty as Ree'Yu, Ardakian Trawl, and Boodikka), Bruce Thomas (Atrocitus), and Wade Williams (Deegan). Plus cameos from Bruce Timm (Galius Zed) and Andrea Romano (Abin Sur's Ring, and Deegan's Ring). Have to say Henry Rollins' Kilowog doesn't quite work for me. Pretty hard-hitting in places (with a brutal and very effective death scene in the first few minutes). Action sequences are well-done - including a great hand-to-hand combat scene. Good score by Christopher Drake. The best Green Lantern film of 2011 😉. 7/10.
Tales of the Green Lantern Corps
dragonmysterious25 May 2013
Warning: Spoilers
This is an excellent story about the less-known characters of Green Lantern. It is comprised of a few short stories about the Green Lantern Corps. I especially love Kilowog's story as I read it in the comics the first time and it was very well done. I like the beginning part of it where he was talking to his mentor. It was hilarious, and done just like in the comics.I like how Laira's story portrays the phrase in the Green Lantern pledge "No evil shall escape my sight".
This is a story that Green Lantern fans will definitely enjoy. If you are a comic book reader, you will enjoy it because of its links. If you are new to Green Lantern, this serves as an excellent story to know more about the Green Lanterns apart from the more popular ones like Hal Jordan, John Stewart, Guy Gardner, Kyle Rayner, etc

Better than Ryan Reynolds movie

Nice Little Film
JoeB1318 June 2011
This is WB and DC doing a little warm-up for the big budget movie on Green Lantern that is coming out this month.
As always, the Animation Team probably has a better grasp on the characters and settings than the suits in Hollywood ever do.
The Green Lantern Corps faces an inter-dimensional threat, and while they wait for the final confrontation, they tell stories of the greatest accomplishments of the Corps.
The movie is probably at its weakest in the fact that they have Nathan Fillian of "Firefly" fame doing the voice of Hal Jordan (Why isn't he doing it in the Live Action version? Why?) but he is only involved in the wrap around story that keeps the plot moving from one section to the next.
The stories themselves are quite good, though. Each one a little gem, even if a bit predictable even for the fan who is familiar with this universe.

Green Lantern: Emerald Knight is a commendable addition to the DC animated universe
kevin_robbins19 March 2024
I recently watched Green Lantern: Emerald Knights (2011) on MAX. The plot revolves around a new recruit who is mentored by Hal Jordan to prepare for an impending threat to the universe. Jordan emphasizes the importance of understanding the history of the Green Lantern Corps as a lesson for facing future challenges.
Co-directed by three directors, the film features the voices of Nathan Fillion (The Suicide Squad), Jason Isaacs (The Patriot), Elisabeth Moss (The Handmaid's Tale), Henry Rollins (Feast), and Arnold Vosloo (The Mummy).
This should have been called the Green Lantern Corps. While each story is well-written and enjoyable to follow, the first and last ones stand out as particularly strong. Witnessing the origins of the Green Lanterns was fun, and the animation style is solid, capturing the essence of the comic books. Additionally, the inclusion of a diverse range of characters from the universe adds depth to the narrative, with some surprising twists towards the end.
In conclusion, Green Lantern: Emerald Knight is a commendable addition to the DC animated universe. I would rate it between 6.5-7/10 and strongly recommend it.

Atrocious...
crimson_knight_72 August 2014
Green Lantern: Emerald Knights, by Christopher Berkeley, Lauren Montgomery, Jay Oliva, was a complete disaster! I don't know if a curse was put on the Green Lantern, but almost every movie starring him has been an abomination.
Unlike other Warner Brothers animated movies which offer us a complex and thrilling plot, Emerald Knights examined back story, after back story, after back story for almost every character which not only bored me to death, but it exasperated all the time that could of been used to focus on the main plot. I understand some people don't know the back story of the Green Lanterns, but character development should not consume more than half of the movie especially when the back stories were thematically unoriginal and one dimensionally monotonous. Furthermore, having so many origin stories was incredibly distracting to the flow of the movie. As a TV show this concept would have been much more successful; however, such a theme is completely irresponsible in a movie due to the time restraints of a film.
If you examine every DC animated film, you'll notice that maybe 10- 15 minutes is given for a super heroes origins, than it focuses on the main idea which will drive the bus the rest of the way. An excellent example of this structure would be the animated movie Wonder Woman.
As much as I like Green Lantern's character, Emerald Knights was incredibly mundane and ultimately scattered. For this reason, I give it a 3.

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this. I don't give Green Lantern enough credit, and have always viewed them as a bit silly or forgettable. This was a nice treat to change my mind and view of the Corps.
Visually stunning, some truly lovely and very exciting scenes were created to showcase the Lantern abilities, and I loved every scene for its artistic choices and color pallet. They paired well with each storyline, which was well laid out for the audience that didn't know much about them and their past. It was great to get Green Lantern history piece by piece, and Nathan Fillion was the perfect narrator- his voice is always a treat to me.
I did find myself struggling to pay attention as this is largely a bunch of small stories with an overarching but not very deeply delved into story in the background. It took me 3 different sessions to finish this movie cause I felt my mind wandering off. This may not be entirely due to the pacing, but certainly a portion of it.
In all, I would recommend this to DC movie lovers and beginners alike. One of my favorite DC animated movies so far. Great choices were made to put this together, and it deserves a higher overall rating.

Green Lantern Emerald Knights
auskooper29 March 2024
Green Lantern Emerald Knights is a soft reboot to Green Lantern First Flight. It uses the same art style as First Flight but the events in the two films are not connected in any way. In this one, Hal Jordan is already a well established Green Lantern, while First Flight has him starting out as a Green Lantern. With the plot lines with Sinestro in both films, no way this one is exactly a sequel per say. This one does have way more exposition, of which is why I prefer this one. It does really does a good job at developing the universe, way more so than First Flight. If you want any recommendations for Green Lantern films, this is the one I would recommend the most.
Green Lantern Emerald Knights: For fans only
Platypuschow8 January 2018
Emerald Knights has a story it does, but it makes up a small percentage of the film as most of it is short tales being regaled to the newest member of the Lantern Corps.
Some are good, some are meh, but the whole thing felt very incomplete due to this.
With fantastic voice talent including Nathan Fillion, Henry Rollins & Kelly Hu the effort/budget clearly went into this but alike the original Green Lantern offering I simply don't get the appeal.
Weird aliens, bizzare powers and lore that keeps shifting.
What bugs me about all these animated movies is that they aren't connected and have no consistency. Characters who died are back, events that happened never took place etc etc and that's very evident here. They really need to make an animated universe and stick with it.
Emerald Knights isn't terrible, I'm just not the demographic.
The Good:
Opening sequence was brutal
Kelly Hu & Henry Rollins
The Bad:
Contradicts the lore in places
Spread rather thin
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
The guardians are smurfs

Animany945 January 2020
Many criticize the way the movie is constructed, but I must admit that I liked how it blended the origin stories of different Lanterns into this movie's central story.
A rookie of the Green Lantern Corps, Laira, is on a missin with the other Lanterns after some happenings urge them into action. She accompagnies Hal Jordan who, along with other Lanterns, tells her of how each of them made it into their collective storybook. Much of the runtime is spent on these origin stories, but I'll still defend this format, because of how it pays off in the end as Laira grows as an up-and-coming Green Lantern.
The animation is great, every character is well voiced, and the format of an anthology movie operating around a simple plot is good for introducing newcomers to the Green Lantern Corps and a handful of its members.

It's a pass, unless maybe if your a hardcore Green Lantern fan
KineticSeoul16 February 2015
If you are a viewer that is a huge fan of the Green Lantern and want to see more about the history of few teammates of the Green Lantern Corps. Besides that I don't see how anyone can really enjoy this movie. Yes, it has one main mission that the story has, but it's far from it being the focus. And it seemed like it's just there for the teammates to show what they can do in the short amount of running time this movie has. There is just nothing really exciting or interesting about this DC installment. The back-story of the characters doesn't bring anything special, the only somewhat memorable back- story is Laira's, but even that was boring to sit through. Overall, unless you are a hardcore Green Lantern fan and want to know more about Hal's teammates, then I guess it's worth a watch.
4.5/10
4.5/10
Not as good as First Flight
WeAreLive25 December 2017
Warning: Spoilers
This was a good movie. Considering there was not enough action but more or less flashbacks of other green lanterns, how green lanterns are trained and what happens to the ring when they die.
Even the beginning of the film had a brutal death of a green lantern. But the main reason why I carried on with watching this film was because there was a hot human alien hybrid teenage girl green lantern cadet (Arisia) who was like the main character of the movie to stare at her body. However it is weird that Sinestro hasn't betrayed or tried to betray the Green Lantern corp yet or even become a Yellow Lantern. Also it is a surprise that Abin Sur is still alive or even Atrocities not becoming Red Lantern yet.
Overall a decent movie the casting of Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern and Jason Issac as Sinestro was a good choose.

I wish I had known this was an anthology film. The DC Animated films usually have a good plot and fun action but this was a little different. I did enjoy finding out more about the lanterns, just felt like it was a cop out. Good thing this isn't the worst lantern movie of the year...
Pretty much brilliant
TheLittleSongbird8 September 2011
I like the comics very much, feeling rather nostalgic for them for the joy they gave me as a kid. I loved this movie and find it much better than the live-action movie. It was lovely to hear Nathan Fillion as Hal Jordan, and he does do a great job, however I think he was deserving of a little more to do. That said, the animation is crisp and smooth with beautiful colours and detailed backgrounds, and the music is exciting and gives plenty of emotional weight. The writing is sharp, clever and thoughtful, the stories while episodic are told with clarity and heart and all the characters are engaging and have great personalities. The voice acting is very strong, with Jason Isaacs particularly impressive as Sinestro. All in all, Green Lantern: Emerald Knights is pretty much brilliant. 9/10 Bethany Cox
disappointing
darapjohnson1 July 2023
"Green Lantern: First Flight" was better. I do not know what this was. It was just all over the place and focused on everybody other than Hal Jordan. Sinistro is a good guy all of a sudden without explanation and the fight scenes were very meh.
I don't want to sound rude, but I really hope they stopped it with this one. Green Lantern as a hero is fun and all but I'd rather watch him in collection with the Justice League and not in stand-alone films. Some of the DC animated movies were a chore to watch, and this one will be in that "chore to watch" pile. Did not enjoy myself at all with this one. Even the final boss in this sucked. If you're a Green Lantern fan, go ahead and give this a watch, but other than that, this pretty much unfortunately sucked.

Episodic tale done well
MasterFantastic2 May 2014
As an animation geek, I usually look forward to any upcoming DC animated release, knowing that the animation, voice work, and direction will be superior to anything the Marvel group puts out. (If only DC could put out a live action version of its superheroes superior to what Marvel does, but I digress).
Green Lantern: Emerald Knights does an excellent, if somewhat formulaic, job in showing the birth of the Green Lantern Corps, the various aliens that all DC geeks would probably know about (and even if you aren't a DC fan, you'll be entertained)and the conflicts they have.
Of all the stories, the ones that captured my interest most were the ones with Avra, the first Lantern, Laira (voiced by the excellent Kelly Hu)as a powerful female warrior who really should have been used more often in the comics, and Mogo (Mogo Doesn't Socialize).
The last of the three also featured the guest voice of Roddy Piper, former WWE wrestler, and he is incredible as Bulphunga the Unrelenting. No slackers in this voice cast at all, with Nathan Fillion doing solid work as Hal Jordan, Jason Isaacs as Sinestro--quietly cool and menacing even though he's still a good guy at the juncture in time--and Elisabeth Moss as Arisia. Arnold Vosloo is also memorable as Abin Sur.
There are a couple of continuity points to be argued over, mainly Tomar-Re and Boodika's existence, but if you're not a GL fan then you probably won't mind. Overall, the animation is superb, the music inspiring, and the direction inventive. This is definitely worth adding to any serious animation fan's collection.

stevenjlowe829 April 2024
Choosing to do a anthology style story for Green Lantern Emerald Knight is a bit bizarre to me and then I discovered this was originally released mere months before the ill fated Green Lantern live action film was released. Apparently this animated film was too build up interest in the franchise. That's never a good basis for making something and it shows. It's all just very average and feels more like a Saturday morning cartoon special rather than a fully fleshed out animated feature.
The stories featured in this anthology spliced between the "main storyline" if you can call it that were alright but nothing really memorable at all.
What I did enjoy most about this was the space setting and wild variety of Green Lanterns coming in all shapes and sizes literally. However that wasn't enough to save this dull feature.

A great telling of the Green Lantern Corps
zackeryburgedd14 August 2011
I love the Green Lantern Corps. When I read the comics I see a great space adventure, that get me excited although they need to get better artist for the books. This does a great job doing that. It explains the Green Lantern Corps history. We see the six different Lantern's stories to the audience and to one of my favorite Green Lantern, Arisia Rrab. While I think this could've been a sequel to Green Lantern: First Flight, it works well as it's own film. The animation is great and like I said I do like the stories. This was very great, and I hope to see more Green Lantern animated movies. In fact this was actually better than the live action Green Lantern movie. But I must say, although I disagree with DC editor Dan Didio, but I agree with him on how the Sinestro Corps War should get it's own movie and I agree.
