My Thoughts:
I haven't had much contact with Green Lantern yet. I recently saw the new movie. While not great, I enjoyed myself.This animated movie is similar in a way. Though I like the bad guy a lot better. In the live-action version they have saved him for a sequel.
I was a little disappointed, that this movie almost exclusivley is set in space. Green Lantern isn't seen back on Earth after he left for his training.

Elektra, a review by Rich
22/11
Elektra
Shrouded by mystery. Tainted by tragedy. Trained to kill. Then left for dead. But for Elektra (Jennifer Garner - Alias, TV Series) death was just the beginning. Now she is back with a vengeance.
Despite low expectations this film was not that bad at all. Basic comic book stuff really, special powered hero, OTT hollywood violence, bad guys and gals with evil special weapons etc. Not quite Daredevil, and certainly not up in the realms of spiderman and batman, but fairly entertaining fare. Nearly worth watching just to view Jennifer Garner in her red outfit.

Smallville Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd
Season 5: Disc 4:
EPISODE 13: VENGEANCE
Clark is in emotional lockdown, but he finds an understanding spirit in the person of a super-powered female vigilante. She, too, has lost a parent. However, something divides them: their attitudes about how to fight crime.
My Thoughts:
This was a great episode! They showed Clark close to the point of killing before he came to his senses. I loved the look of the Angel of Vengeance! Was an awesome look!
EPISODE 14: TOMB
Chloe hasn't been herself lately. The ghost of a murder victim possesses the 'Daily Planet' reporter's body in an attempt to find the killer and avenge her death. But that quest puts both Chloe and Lois in grave peril.
My Thoughts:
Another really good episode. Nothing like a good ghost/possession story for someone that is as big of a horror fan as I am!
EPISODE 15: CYBORG
Part man. Part machine. Victor Stone, the subject of secret bionic experiments at LuthorCorp, escapes and finds an ally in someone who knows what it's like to be different: CLARK KENT. Also: Lionel comes into possession of a certain secret.
My Thoughts:
This disc is 3 for 3! Another episode I liked a lot! This one brings Cyborg in. Another of the Justice League comes to Smallville.
