Artist Review-Green Lantern Animation Critique

        The video The Green Lantern: The Animated Series, talks about a fictional world protected by Green Lanterns, heroes from select worlds around the galaxy, awarded with a power called "green energy" in the form of a ring. In this episode, Hal Jordan, a human pilot who leads a second life as a GL,  along with GL Kilowag "hijacks" a high-tech prototype ship called Aya  in order to get to the Frontier, intent on hunting down recently discovered GL killers, which are later revealed as Red Lanterns. The plot goes through several twists, turns, and moments of suspense leaving the audience breathless in its intensity.

       In general, the episodes were very interesting. The animation looked realistic to the very last rock, utilizing most, if not all, of the 12 principles of animation. The people, rocks, and ships moved in ways that are identical to that of the real world, which brings the audience into the world of the Green Lanterns. Music, sound effects, and voices were all well-timed, and used, only adding to that effect. 

        Furthermore, the story was well developed. Every character had their own "character" and personality types. So real, in fact, people in the real world could relate to their mental, and physical problems. For example, Hal Jordan is depicted as a hero, devoted to his work, while, at the same time, is a suave girl-getting man.
"I may be replaceable, but you're (Carol) not" - Hal, but even though he loved her, he still knew his duty, and flew to Oa to complete that duty. 

"We do have a choice, We can fight and keep fighting, until we can't fight anymore" - Hal. The story line was fast-paced, not in a bad way, and had the audience on the edge of their seats. The plot progressed in a linear fashion, always moving forward, and never dragging creating that much more suspense.

        In conclusion, the series is definitely a must-watch. Though it may seem childish to some, the moment you are exposed to this fictional, yet realistic world, it will seem much less childish, and more fit for you.  This series deserves a rating of 4 and a half stars, for its creative fictional world, and its great animation.
