Green Lantern: Emerald Knights (2011)

Nathan Fillion telling stories about his fellow Lanterns? Sign me up! This acts as a bit of an anthology of the main characters and how they got to be where they are. Nathan’s Hal Jordan tells the stories to a new recruit as they head to the movie's actual big bad. The genius of this movie is the focus on telling a bunch of stories that flesh out all the characters. It can drag at some parts but overall it was a fun way to explore the Lantern Corp.
