Arrow: Season 2 [DVD] [2012]

A five disc dvd set containing all twenty three episodes of the second season of Arrow. The story of masked bow wielding vigilante Oliver Queen, based on DC Comics 'Green Arrow' title.All episodes run for forty mins. [approx].In addition to those, it also features a special episode called Arrow: year one. Narrated by John Barrowman, this tells the story of all that happened in season, condensed down into forty minutes. So that means you could use this season as a jumping on point. But you are still better off to start with season one.Following on from where that ended, Oliver is having a hard time dealing with the events of the season one finale, and has retreated to the island where he was previously stranded. But friends and family and the city need him back. His family reputation is on the line. His company needs him there. And there's an upcoming mayoral election, in which a charismatic man called Sebastian Blood is the leading contender.But Oliver is about to find out that everything is tied together. As someone intends to make him pay for something he once did....The overall story arc of this season is Oliver's journey from death dealing vigilante to hero. Thus he has to go through a lot over the course of the twenty three episodes. The season is a little bit of a slow burner to begin with, but once the main threat is revealed [and don't look at the back of the box if you don't want any spoilers in regards to that] then it really clicks.As with season one, present day scenes are interspersed with flashbacks to Oliver's past. Presenting a storyline that, once it gets going, really does grab.There's at least one new character who will have a major impact on Oliver's life. And the show also adeptly allows good story arcs for all the supporting cast. Managing as well to start Thea and Laurel on journeys that will make them stronger people.A couple of early episodes feature visiting police forensic scientist Barry Allen. And serve as a backdoor pilot for what became The Flash - Season 1 [DVD].With plenty of other characters who will be familiar to dc comics readers, and some excellent action throughout, it's another entertaining season of strong action and great character drama with it. The season finale just isn't quite as strong an episode as the end to season one. But very few episodes could compare with that, and this is still a very good one, so that's the only really minor complaint about a really good season.The dvd has the following language and subtitle options:Languages: English, Castilian Spanish, French, Italian.Subtitles: English, Castilian Spanish, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, Italian, Norwegian, Swedish.Every disc has roughly four minutes worth of deleted scenes on them. Accessed both via the special features menu, in order to watch all for each disc in a row. Or for each individual episode, via an icon on the episode selection menu. Batman fans really do need to see one of the deleted scenes from the season finale.Other extras, aside from the deleted scenes and the year one recap, are all on disc five.From vigiliante to hero: A twenty two minute long documentary, which rather than just overview the season, looks at the central issue of Oliver's attempt to becomme a hero. And is very interesting also thought provoking as a result.How did they do that? The visual effects of Arrow. A nine minute long look at how some of the season opener was done. Interesting when technical, but the other parts of this are even more so.Wirework: the impossible moves of Arrow. Also an involving watch, this runs for nine minutes and looks at the show's stunt work.Arrow 2013 comic con panel: twenty five minutes of the stars and some of the producers being interviewed. A very entertaining watch - particularly when something unexpected happens midway through - although it doesn't show too many of the audience questions.Gag reel: four minutes of outtakes. Too many of people pulling funny faces. But a couple of good clips in the middle.

Season 2 really took off with more twists and turns than a corkscrew, really thrilling storylines, sub plots, homages to the DC comic heroes and anti-heroes, and a thoroughly entertaining show from start to finish. The two veins of the series continue with the Arrow's fight against criminals in Starling city, and Oliver Queen's continued transformation on the island, both stories equally exciting, and leaving me bereft until season 3 is out. We also continue with family secrets, intrigue, betrayal, love gained and lost, revenge, and moral dilemmas surrounding the Queen family. We are introduced to more DC comic heroes and heroines, anti heroes and anti heroines, and I look forward to their development in the show. We see more acting favourites join the episodes, and other characters being fleshed out, my particular favourite is Emily Bett-Rickards character Felicity Smoak who gives the series some comic relief. Great entertainment, great action, Stephen Amell continues to shine in the lead role, and he is supported well, I enjoyed Manu Bennett's relentlessly vengeful baddie Deathstroke, and I was delighted to see John Barrowman return as Malcolm Merlyn, as he is a strong acting asset to hang onto in my opinion! Yes everyone is beautiful and handsome to look at, but hey, this is pure fantasy and escapism given a gritty, pounding ride that is satisfyingly refreshing to watch. Just let go and enjoy, don't think too deeply, it ain't that kind of show!

In the aftermath of the Undertaking that destroyed the Glades, Oliver returns to the Island where he was stranded but with his mother facing a trial for her part in the undertaking and Queen Industries under threat from a takeover Oliver is forced to return to Starling City once again. Things are further complicated by the Queen family secrets as well as the arrival of an old friend of Oliver's with a grudge and a super-solider serum.This second season of the very entertaining 'Arrow' continues to improve with lot of the episodes in this season being better than the first. Much of this is probably due to having a better arc plot for the season and a better villain in the form of Deathstroke. The best episodes of the season are probably those that tie closely to the arc plot of the season with the three part finale easily being the best part of the series as a whole so far. Having said that however, there were some episodes that felt a little lacklustre, such as Identity (where Oliver tries to stop thieves stealing vital medical supplies) and Blast Radius (about a terrorist bombing spree). The season also includes a two episode storyline that introduces Barry Allen, setting things up for the spin-off series The Flash.This season sees a whole host of characters from the wider DC Universe turn up with Black Canary, Bronze Tiger, the Dollmaker, Brother Blood, Cyrus Gold (aka Solomon Grundy), Shrapnel, the Clock King, Professor Ivo, S.T.A.R. Labs and the League of Assassins (along with Nyssa Al-Ghul) all making appearances, as well as Amanda Waller and the Suicide Squad (including a very brief Harley Quinn cameo). The season also sees the introduction of Isabel Rochev, played by the brilliant Summer Glu, in a recurring role with the character being a combination of the comicbook versions of Isabel Rochev and Ravager.The action this season is generally very good with the final fight between Oliver and Deathstroke being particularly good, switching back and forth between their fight in the current storyline and their fight on the Island. Unfortunately, however, some of the fights in the beginning of the series aren't too good with the first fight between Oliver and Bronze Tiger being a little disappointing. The comedy of the series by contrast remains very good throughout with Felicity still being the very funny. Most of the performances in the season remain on a par with that of the previous one with Katrina Law as Nyssa Al-Ghul and Cynthia Addai-Robinson as Amanda Waller being particularly good. The special effects are also relatively good for the most part.Overall while this season is slightly, in general, better that the previous one and I would rate it a high four stars.

Begagnad, värdelös. Inlagd i en liten påse istället för original plastad. Fick ingen ny av Amazon. Hade lagt ännu sämre betyg om det hade gått. Serien är bra, men artikeln och service helt kass

Todo perfecto como indico el vendedor

3/5 - (23 episodes) The Arrow is just one of those shows that are just so annoyingly inconsistent. Some episodes are excellent while others are just plain bad. If you stick through the poor episodes, there's some solid content in here. Especially loved the other DC characters starting to take shape, namely Barry Allen and the Suicide Squad.

habe mich sehr gefreut als die DVD ankamen. Leider habe ich, aus Versehen, eine englische Version erwischt. Das obwohl ich kein Englisch kann.Auf Nachfrage kann ich die DVD zurückschicken. Dafür bin ich dankbar und finde, das dies nicht selbstverständlich ist.

Expédition rapide !! Colis reçu plus d'une semaine avant la date limite !! C'est parfait !! Le produit est neuf et correspond parfaitement à la description faite par le vendeur !!En ce qui concerne cette nouvelle saison de Arrow, elle est toujours aussi captivante !! Cependant, certains épisodes sont vraiment minables... Mais dans l'ensemble, l'histoire, les dialogues, le jeu des acteurs, la musique et les effets spéciaux sont toujours aussi bien !! Je vous recommande donc cette nouvelle saison !!!
