DC Showcase: Green Arrow Audience Reviews

Micitype Pretty Good
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Platypuschow DC Showcase shorts are a great idea, though I would argue that perhaps Green Arrow is well known enough not to need one.In this little over 10 minute effort we see our hero attempting to foil an assassination attempt and we see the likes of Vertigo, Merlyn and Black Canary join him for the ride.Hardly original and feels more like a Saturday morning cartoon, but could have been considerably worse.Another decent enough little short, if Green Arrow isn't going to be getting a feature movie anytime soon then this will have to suffice.The Good:Well writtenThe Bad:Paint by numbers stuffThings I Learnt From This Short:Finally someone has acknowledged he's a Robin Hood ripoff
DCfan This is definitely an awesome Green Arrow short. I am not a massive fan of the CW Arrow show but this is actually better.The voice acting is good so is the animation and character designs especially the princess is definitely the cutest of the whole short. Even though I don't get why she had brown hair in this short but blonde in the young justice episode Coldhearted.But the only question is who will take care of her now since the guards are dead and her uncle count vertigo tried to kill her but Black Canary stopped him. Also are Black Canary and Green Arrow going to get married or something?I wish there was an animated movie with same voice actors and animation with 1h:30min format.
adonis98-743-186503 At an airport, the Emerald Archer must protect a young princess from assassins. Before he played Damien Darhk in CW's Arrow Neal McDonough played Oliver Queen in this short and awesome DC Showcase Arrow film that even tho it's 12 minutes long has enough action to please even the hardest DC Fans and Merlyn also making a guest appearance as one of the main villains plus Black Canary arrives and kicks some serious butt and Oliver asks her to marry him. Charming, Funny and Action Packed this Short DC Film should been seen from more people and get a higher score than it already has. Green Arrow gets an A+ and a 10 out of 10 i absolutely loved it.
xamtaro It has been said many times and it will be said again, director Joaquim Dos Santos is a brilliant animation director and having less than 12 minutes to tell a story is totally limiting what he can do. As usual with other DC showcase short films, this here Green Arrow short does a great giving both newcomers and long time fans an insight into the titular character.Though not an origin story, at least this one is a pivotal event in Green Arrow's life unlike the previous "Jonah Hex" animated short which was pretty much a "just another day on the job" kind of thing. The story starts with Oliver Queen, aka Green Arrow, at the airport waiting to pick up his girlfriend Dinah. While figuring out how he is going to propose to her, Oliver spies his old nemesis, the assassin Merlyn, at the airport. Coincidentally a young and very important foreign princess is arriving and Oliver does not take long to put two and two together.What follows is almost like Die Hard 2 with a twist. Hero in the right place at the wrong time saving someone at an airport. What could have been a standard superficial actioner gains more depth through its portrayal of Green Arrow as a very "human" superhero. He is just a guy who can shoot a bow and arrow real well;no "peak of human physical perfection" and not trained in every form of martial arts. Basically, he is not Batman and does fight a retreating battle to protect the princess, getting his butt handed to him a couple of times in the process. Bring in an explosive showdown with Merlyn on the runway, a frantic fist fight on conveyor belts and the dreaded Count Vertigo too, what could have been a romantic little night with Dinah just became the fight of Oliver Queen's life. "Dc Showcase: Green Arrow" would have been the most awesome Dc showcase ever if its animation were as stylish as the previous two. Alas, it is pretty good looking movie standard fare, but standard nonetheless. It did not have a unique feel like The spectre's grindhouse film noir visuals or Jonah hex's stylish sun drenched colors. The animation was very fluid except in one particular running scene which looked weird and a little stiff in the way the characters' hands move as they ran. But that is a tiny nitpick that only appears once. The rest of the animation is highly professional and easily gives some of the best Japanese anime a run for their money.Nonetheless, this animated short that accompanies the "Superman/Batman: Apocalypse" OVA movie is sure to entertain. One can also pick up the "Superman/Shazam!: The Return of Black Adam" DVD or blu-ray to watch a extended version with added footage (or so they claim).
