The series "Arrow" was released in 2012 and immediately gained great popularity among fans of the DC universe, as it is based on the comic book about the superhero Green Arrow. The picture was created by directors Greg Berlanti, Andrew Chrysberg and Mark Guggenheim. The audience’s feedback on the Strela series can be found in this article.
The plot of the series
The protagonist of this fascinating multi-part action movie once faced with the need to find a new life goal. The storyline of the series is still filled with the style of an adventure novel, the central link of which was Oliver Queen, who accidentally ended up on an uninhabited island due to a serious breakdown in the undercarriage of the ship. A few years the man had to spend on a deserted patch of land, while everyone thought that he died in the endless water depths, like other passengers of the ship. But it seems that fate decided to give Oliver a second chance. He took advantage of it. Due to the dynamic plot of the series “Arrow”, reviews of the film were positive.
Main character
Previously, Oliver did not represent anything, he was the usual bully son of wealthy parents, who assumed that since he had wealth, he could afford anything. However, now he has become completely different - a true man, able to overcome many difficulties, and really understand what is important in this life. In addition, if before he was mostly cowardly, now he is ready to take risks, and the spirit of adventurism has appeared in him. Due to the prevailing circumstances, albeit not very personal, the man has a completely different character. Now in it there is no place for indecision, slowness and fear of everything and everyone. After spending five years on a desert island, the main character still left him. Largely thanks to this character, the reviews and ratings of the Strela series were at a high level.
The main themes of the series
But does a man use his acquired skills solely to do good for his relatives? The creators of the multi-part action movie with their creation give the audience food for the mind. Thanks to their film, one can reflect on the fact that hopeless, at first glance, circumstances in which usually no one would like to be, can make a person strong, change his attitude to life and even his character. The main character of the film became confident that he could influence the fate of others, save the suffering.
But just which side will the main character take? Will he always have everything going as planned? To whom will the arrows of his justice be directed? And the most important thing: how now does a man perceive the world around him, if five years ago he looked at him through the eyes of a rich, carefree youth who can do nothing? The audience can find answers to these questions in the series “Arrow”.
Reviews about the series were positive in many respects due to the serious topics raised in it. Literally from the first episodes, this work of cinema captured the minds of fans of novels and those who love high-quality special effects. It is easy to assume that this series was based on comics, and this turned out to be the right decision. It’s enough to just start watching to get carried away by the film, and this will be facilitated not only by a good plot, but also by a considerable number of excellently performed combat tricks.
Negative TV Show Reviews
Like any other popular representative of cinema, Strela has accumulated many different reviews. Most of the statements are positive, which allows you to create a good impression on the series even for the person who did not watch it. However, some flaws were still noticed by the audience. It is understandable, because it could not have been without cons. It was these shortcomings that caused some negative reviews about the Strela series.
For example, many people are annoyed in this film that many heroes constantly "rise from the dead." In the story, one or another character dies, but then it suddenly turns out that he remained alive, and this happens many times. And yet, some note that the series is boring, claiming that the crew deliberately stretches its plot. Although there are beautiful skirmishes, some spectators are confused by the empty chatter that does not lead to anything.
Also, some viewers in their reviews note that the first couple of seasons were slightly better than the subsequent ones. According to them, in 1-2 blocks of series of actions there were more, including fights and shootings, and in the future the number of useless conversations greatly increased. Also, some note the inconsistency in terms of plot development. Say, in recent seasons Strela has too many associates, and almost half of the city knows where he has a lair, and come there when he pleases.
Positive reviews about the series "Arrow"
And yet, for most of the audience, or rather 90%, all the shortcomings described seem insignificant. By and large, the series was to many tastes and even now they are watching it with pleasure. This is facilitated not only by high-quality musical accompaniment, but also by a good play of the actors. The team was taken by an exceptionally talented and capable cast.
Actors of the series
In particular, the main character of the adventure series Oliver Queen was played by Amell Stephen. The man is a Canadian actor. He was known even before filming in the series, as he had previously played in the quite popular film “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2” by Casey Jones, a guy with a club who fights crime on the streets of New York. The sister of the main character in the series Theu Quinn was played by American actress Willa Joanna Chance Holland. In addition to the role in the series “Arrow”, such a cinematic creation as “Lonely Hearts” brought fame to her. It is also worth noting the American actor Thomas Grant Gastina, who is also a good singer. In the series, he played the role of Barry Allen, this is the fastest superhero - Flash. In many ways, the excellent cast of the cast affected the positive reviews of the Strela series.
