GAG REEL:
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
I thoroughly enjoyed the pilot episode, and not being
a comic book fan didn't feel lost at all. The story is
set up extremely well, and you can see there is clearly
a lot of potential there and a lot of places they can
explore if they so desire. Along with "last resort"
this was the best new pilot that i have seen in a
while. I can see this running a long time, as it
strongly reminds me of Nolan's Batman series and
is completely different to the green arrow offered
up in "Smallville" which i also thought was pretty
good in its own unique way. The darker grittier
Green Arrow is a much better one and i prefer
the way he isn't being portrayed as someone who
is extremely nice to everyone and only uses
violence when its the only way out like a
"batman" sort of character. You can also see
how what happened at the start has affected
him and the difference is portrayed well by
the other cast members; all of whom seem
to be suited to their respective roles.
It is too early to say whether this is gonna be
around for ages and be known as the best
comic book to TV show adaptation, however
if the show can continue its quality that was
shown in the pilot episode then the future
is green for Arrow! - Matthew Hutchings
