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.

Avengers Earths Mightiest Heroes

Just finished watching the first season a few days ago. It was a little slow going in the first few episodes. But the series really grew on me, and came into it's own.

I was never much of an Avengers fan. I was more into Spiderman and X-Men when I was younger. But I am passingly familiar with the characters and the villains.

The animation style is a little different, but nice. And I found the stories too be well written and varied.

Very much looking forward to seeing a second season. I was also watching GI Joe Renegades, and I find that Avengers is the much stronger of the two.

The Cape

Why couldn't we have had another seaons of Heroes?? Wait, did I just say that out loud??

The Cape looked like it was going to be an interesting show. A Hero that seemed like he was going to be in the mold of Batman, Green Arrow.. A skilled, gadget hero. What did we get?? Not much.. A magic cape, that doesn't seem like it can do much. And what amounts to a crappy third rate magician.

Disappointment doesn't begin to describe how I feel about this show. And I generally like the cast. And the villain, Chess.. With his lame looking chess piece eyeballs..

I was pretty pleased to read that NBC had cut short the season order from 13 episodes down to 10. And that meant that the show has already wrapped. Not likely to return. This show makes the last season of Heroes award winning material.

And I am forced to wonder how this show ever got on the air, when we could have had another season of Jericho or Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles..

Thor

Managed to see the trailer for the upcoming Marvel movie Thor. With the knowledge that trailers seem to always look good. This trailer looks.. pretty good.

Not much more to say I guess at this point, not going to be coming out until May 2011 if they keep their date.

Google around, I'm sure you'll find it..
