Oliver gets back to his city (Starling) with a black book of names left by his father of people who have \u201cfailed their city.\u201d Using this book Oliver goes after these people under a hood and yielding a bow so ipso facto Arrow.<\/p>\n<p>The strength of Arrow is the realistic and dark feel it gives the audience. The audiences of superhero films\/series are starting to transition to the more real and more in danger a superhero can be. The whole feel of the show gives the audience the feeling that a main core member of the show could die or get kicked off the show at any time, which keeps things interesting.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest weakness is all the characters. Arrow at first did things by himself then he started to get a cast of characters to help. However, the girls are very similar and are hard to tell apart. Some of the acting is a little spotty or corny even but that is a minimal thing in the big scheme of things.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I enjoy Arrow and I think fans of superhero shows\/movies would enjoy it as well. With a run time of only forty minutes without counting commercials Arrow makes good use of its time and packs a lot of action into such a time threshold. To catch the Arrow in action tune into the CW on Wednesday nights at 7:00; also Arrow is in its third season so to catch up you can see the show on Netflix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Derek Krayenhagen\u2014The bow and arrow-carrying vigilante hits the mini screen hard with this action packed show that showcases a lesser-known superhero.
