Brian Lowry Variety 07/10/2018
Frankly, if the movie featuring the ring-bearing character had been this satisfying, they'd already be working on a sequel. Go to Full Review
Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly 07/10/2018
Executed with computer-graphics animation that gives the adventure a glossy sheen, Green Lantern: The Animated Series -- is a sleek production that moves with the quickness of a familiar but effective adventure tale. Go to Full Review
Ward Williams CBR 07/10/2018
Green Lantern: The Animated Series is certainly a good show, and there are plenty of great aspects to it, but that's not to say there weren't some missteps along the way as well. Go to Full Review

4/5
Green Lantern takes a brilliant high concept that's been bogged down by decades of comic book stories and clears away everything but the essential elements... it's computer-generated, but the characters are depicted as simple and iconic. Go to Full Review
Jesse Schedeen IGN Movies 07/10/2018
[The] Green Lantern was a monumental achievement, and easily one of the stronger superhero shows Bruce Timm has been involved with. There wasn't a single stinker in this stretch of 26 episodes. Go to Full Review

The CGI look may not be for everyone, especially for fans of classic DCAU projects, but there's a lot to love about Green Lantern: The Animated Series. Go to Full Review

Ryan H @RyGuy Jul 31 This show did an amazing job introducing all the different Lantern Corps. See more Michele P 01/16/2024 Excellent Entertainment, They Don't Make Shows Like This Anymore! I am glad I managed to complete this later than never. Felt like DC's Star Wars, the proper Star Wars, similar to Clone Wars in animation but satisfactory. Razer is my favourite character, I love his design and character growth & personality. I love the design of Bleez. Aya is very entertaining to me. This show has reignited and blazed my love of DC Comics, well, the back issues. See more Samuel S 12/18/2023 Very well done show. A hidden gem really. I was shocked how much I enjoyed this show. The writing is so sharp and is written as an episodic serial, my preferred way for shows. So many fun and memorable episodes, and great character arch's. The designs and animation is also great. Shame it didn't get its full run, as is the fate for so many awesome shows. See more Jon 07/06/2023 This show is a must see for fans of Green Lantern and DC Comics. See more 06/23/2022 Ages 07 and older!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Featuring greatest 26 episodes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more woodle b 05/03/2022 I found this one a decade too late. The well-crafted story and witty dialogue is great and the show has plenty of well-written characters as well.
