My Review of "Arrow: Season 7"

Arrow Season 7 was a step down from season 6, but it had some great moments.

The prison story arc for Oliver was the best part of the season. The setting was intense, and the performance from Stephen Amell was powerful. Unfortunately, this was the only real consistent story arc the season.

The team getting back together started out strong, but it was easily bogged down towards the end as it got predictable and boring.

The season also had some major villain problems as well. They went from Ricardo Diaz, to Dante, to Emiko Queen. The best one was Ricardo Diaz, and they killed him just as he was becoming an interesting villain.

The introduction to Emiko Queen was a huge problem. At first, I thought she would be the replacement for Stephen Amell, after Oliver was killed off, but then we find out she was the villain. Sea Shimooka's acting was hit or miss.

The flash forwards were overall disappointing. They lacked suspense, emotion, depth, and excitement. Luckily, the actors did the best they could with what they had to work with.

The action scenes, for the most part, were well done. The prison fight scenes were awesome, but the final fight scenes were pretty lackluster later in the season.

The acting was strong as usual, but sometimes it was pretty bad. The best actors this season who stayed consistent were Stephen Amell and Emily Bett Rickards, and their chemistry was awesome as usual.

The buildup with the Crises on Infinite Earths next season is going to be sad, as Oliver will die, but it could be a strong season as well, considering it will only have 10 episodes.

The emotion in this season, concerning the final episode, almost brought me to tears, and I have never cried while watching a tv show before.

Overall, despite some huge villain problems, a somewhat lackluster finish, and disappointing flash forwards, Arrow Season 7 delivered on the prison story line, powerful emotion, well shot prison action scenes, setting up an intriguing and emotional series finale next season, and strong performances from Stephen Amell and Emily Bett Rickards to add another great season to Arrow's resume.

Out of 100% I would give it...
