Green Lantern Emerald Knights

DC continues it's line of usually great quality animated features with Green Lantern Emerald Knights.

A series of connected stories of the corp told to one of the newest members as they struggle with an emerging threat.

Animation is good, voice acting is good. And the stories weren't bad. I kind of wish we had more detail to the main plot, of the creature or beast coming through the star to threaten the corp. But the individual stories were interesting enough to make up for it.

I have this strange feeling, that this could easily be the better of the two Lantern movies coming out this month. But, I'm hoping the live action one this weekend holds up.

I'm sure I missed a few of DCs animated features, the last Superman one comes to mind. And I didn't find the Wonder Woman one all that great. And the majority of the Batman ones, well.. are just brilliant. At least as long as Kevin Conroy was involved.

This was a great feature.

And so begins the spring movie season of soulless kids movies. I didn't find this movie to be much of anything except boring.

There just wasn't much to hold your attention. Judging by the sell out audiences, the kids are flocking to it in droves.

The performances are OK, I had a hard time looking at the Easter Bunny and not see Greg House. EB was OK.. James Marsden seems to be firmly implanted into dull comedies and kids movies these days.

The best scenes like usual are in the trailer..

I guess I don't know what to add, the movie was just kind of flat. And didn't play well to the adults who had to bring their kids.

And before everyone keeps steaming that it was a kids movie, don't forget the good ones play on two levels usually. And manage to entertain everyone present.. See pretty much anything by Pixar. As well as Shrek, How to Train your Dragon (Little less so)..
