I got nothing less than a shock in each of the first two episodes. The parallel plotting is still very very consistent. And it is nothing short of amazing.

    This just may be the best TV show based on a comic. Let's see!    … Full Review »

    Do the writers and producers of this show all sit around licking each others, thinking what **** can we come up with next week? Patting eachDo the writers and producers of this show all sit around licking each others, thinking what **** can we come up with next week? Patting each other for making such ****. The demographic for this show is 18-25 year old, obviously minus 7-10 years is what we are watching here on this show, who would rather watch Flash instead.

    This series is totally unwatchable, stinking, containing more holes then a bucket. Not even team aerosol can mask that raspberry flavor.

    Take the last episode, but this entire season and any other seasons have been drivel from start. Penicillin tea cures death, mending broken bones, filling gaping holes, wince more. Brick the Bane equivalent stops bullets with head, arrows don't cause scratches, only to get kicked in the nuts. He kills everybody else but not would be killers, because of equality. All so *** kicked can join the justice league when using somebody else identity Dinah is now a Lance, please scream more. Daddy daddy please stay and fight the bad men because you taught how to fight and not be scared, okay darling were not scared now. Everyone else can get Merlin'ed too including team aerosol, they don't care about the **** caused. Meanwhile Smoke is blowing on onion rings every episode, when she isn't blowing bubbles, lets also get her mom involved as well.

    Any would be action scenes come straight out of a B movie, bullets do not do **** all, because cartwheels are a matrix art in those 5 seconds of action. Because a bow fires quicker, also more directly then any ricochet . But the other 45 minutes of discourse are a soap opera, pantomime into how everyone, apart from the one-shot Crim, can also join team aerosol. If they can get over their amnesia remembering why they aren't dead, any superpowers came straight out of lost. Obviously making them all emotional that they then have to provide less and less content, outside of their family dilemmas, but constantly further away from the sourced material.

    Nothing can mask how bad this show stinks. Do us all a favor. Stop making superhero series, when they watch as badly as asskicked 2. .    … Full Review »

It certainly has itsI gave Arrow a 10, not because it's perfect, but because it’s probably as close to a 10 as a show can get. It certainly has its flaws--however, only a few episodes into Season 3 and I can already tell that the show is pretty much the TV show equivalent of Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy.

    I usually don’t review TV shows so early, because I feel that rating a show based on the pilot isn’t really fair. I need multiple episodes to determine how good a TV show is (to me). However, I made an exception with Arrow because it’s pretty clear that Arrow is almost always the same: at its best. I don’t want to sound like some fanboy raining praise on a superhero TV show, but this show simply deserves it. The storytelling is strong each episode. The two parallel stories that go on at the same time (past and present) during the episodes are both well-made and intertwine well. The characters are nice and developed on the show (not one dimensional or cliché). The acting is good. The dynamic of “Team Arrow” is nice. Felicity, Diggle, Roy, Oliver, Ray Palmer, etc. are all good characters.

    Arrow does have its flaws though. For example, how is it practical at all for Oliver to be constantly facing off against enemies with guns, swords, etc. with just a bow and arrow? Sure, it might work at a distance, but it makes a lot less sense when he and his enemies are face to face. Oliver should have some kind of knife or bo staff with him when he faces certain enemies in close quarters. Also, some scenes where Oliver avoids gunfire causes a bit too much suspension of disbelief. (See season 3 episode “The Secret of Felicity Smoak”, for an example of this. When Felicity and her mom are kidnapped, and machines are shooting bullets at Oliver, none of them come even close to hitting him. Really?) Also, Thea (“Speedy”) and Laurel (Dinah) are IMO the weakest characters on the show.

    The good definitely outweighs the bad though, when it comes to Arrow. I honestly think it’s one of the best TV shows I’ve seen, and is probably the best superhero TV show. (Sorry Agents of SHIELD, Constantine, The Flash, and Gotham.)

    I have reviewed 32 other movies, including the 2014 films: Dracula Untold, The Maze Runner, The Expendables 3, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Guardians of the Galaxy, The Giver, Sharknado 2, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Transformers: Age of Extinction, Edge of Tomorrow, X-Men Days of Future Past, Godzilla, Blended, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Divergent, Transcendence, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, The Lego Movie, and more. I also review TV shows, such as Gotham, The Last Ship, Sleepy Hollow, Marvel's Agents of SHIELD, The 100, I Wanna Marry Harry, Crisis, Gang Related, and more. I also have reviewed the mobile game Minecraft Pocket Edition.

    Goodbye! Sincerely, AG732.
