It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

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

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.

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.

But this is not really the fault of director Joaquim Dos Santos, who does a fine job just like with most of the other DC Showcases. In my opinion, it's the writer's fault. That love story was not interesting at all and they had to include it early on and also at the ending that Green Arrow actually relies on his girlfriend to save him and the Queen. Apart from that, it's a decent short film. Queen going against Merlyn was nicely done and Vertigo also added some nice aspects to this film. However, two villains was almost too much for this running time of slightly over 10 minutes. There are some familiar names in the cast, most of all Malcolm McDowell of course, but also Ariel Winter ("Modern Family") and Neil McDonough should be known to many. However, there was no real greatness in this short film unfortunately. My favorite from the collection still stays Jonah Hex and I also think the Superman short is better, but "Green Arrow" is still better than the "Catwoman" short film. Spectre I have not seen yet, but I will soon. As for "Green Arrow" taking everything into account I hoped for more and cannot recommend it unlike some of the other Showcases.
