I just watched teh Justice League New Frontier movie..
IT was really good, looked at the gang through the eyes of 1950's anti-communism are you with us or against us attitude...

Great stylized animation and it was nice to see Bary Allen and Hal Jordan resuracted...

1. I won't say I loved it.
But I did like it an awful lot. I think it should have been longer. And the "Centre", as a villain, was not very satisfying. I did love the portrayal of Wonder Woman and Green Lantern. Over all I give it 8 stars.

2. I thought it was very good, for a lot of the same reasons
you listed....

I enjoyed the aspect/bringing to life, the aspect of Hal Jordan...it seems like good old Hal has been overlooked a lot in the animated world.

3. By the time they started to animate the JLA, Hal Jordan was pretty
much a fringe figure at best and turned into the next Specter at worse (for hime, at least...)

4. Yeah, which is sad...because
I grew up with Hal as my Green Lantern...I only recall...once in the JLA animated series Hal Jordan being there, and a few times that Kyle was brought in(but just for little snippets at best).

6. Have you read the graphic novel
by Darywn Cooke that it was based on? He was heavily involved in the movie, but the original GN is fantastic. It was six big issues, so he was able to flesh out the story much more than the movie allowed. Well worth the read.
