6/10

Straightforward superhero animated picture

Green Arrow (2010) is the third of four DC Showcase films on a DVD titled Superman/Shazam: The Return of Black Adam. The storyline surrounds Green Arrow when a prince is scheduled to land in his hometown of Emerald City. A renowned assassin threatens the life of the prince so he will need to try and stop him.

Directed by Joaquim Dos Santos (known for Spiderman: Across the Spiderverse), the movie boasts the voices of Neal McDonough (Minority Report), Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange), Grey Griffin (The Book of Life) and John DiMaggio (The Super Mario Brothers Movie).

The animation is polished, reminiscent of a traditional Justice League cartoon. The storyline is clear-cut, with straightforward dialogue and predictable outcomes. The action sequences are engaging, and the conclusion aligns with genre expectations. Overall, I would give this a 6/10 and recommend it to fans of the superhero genre.
