Very different episode.
The documentary aspect of the film, while interesting, made me very sick due to the shaky camera. The highlight of the documentary were the cameos by Caity Lotz, Willa Holland, Paul Blackthorne, and Grant Gustin.
Seeing William back was not what I was hoping for. While Emily Bett Rickards and Jack Moore's performance was great, and Jack Moore's chemistry with Eliza Faria was awesome, I do not like how they are adding more drama to his character.
It was great to see Team Arrow back in action. Their chemistry with each other was great, and their action scene was awesome.
The villain was the huge let down in my opinion. While he had a great buildup, had some dark motives, and the scene with the masks that he keeps for trophies were great, his overall identity was disappointing. I was expecting him to be someone the team had encountered.
The flash forward scene was weird but compelling at the same time. I'm still not sold on these, mainly because I feel that they are a dumb attempt to keep the series going, but I'm willing to give them a shot, mainly due to Connor Hawke showing up.
Overall, while tonight's episode of Arrow heavily suffered from shaky camera movement and angles and a lackluster villain, the episode heavily benefited from its cameos, action scenes, strong character development, and strong performances from Stephen Amell, David Ramsey, Juliana Harkavy, Emily Bett Rickards, Jack Moore, and Eliza Faria.
Out of 4 stars I would give it...
