Starling city siege
Still, dynamic plot is pretty convincing, it involves you on emotional bases not on action base, so I can understand negative reactions of some Hollywood buffs here. I know this is not historical movie, but more careful development of the individual suffering and closer approach to survival of main heroes would give better result. I believe that this should be done more authentic as we are talking about terrible suffering that Russian people lived for the world liberation of Nazis. Here, some of the mass scenes look like theater stage. If you were ever watching the documentaries on the Leningrad Siege you would probably know what I mean.
I do not like the usual Hollywood softeners used in the film as we are talking about the city whose siege took 1.5 million lives in three years. Stunning emotional destiny of few individuals depicts the whole Leningrad WWII passion. After saving Starling City, Oliver retired from vigilantism and began a new life in Ivy Town with Felicity Smoak.

As a matter a fact, there is much more behind this movie than just a common WWII movie. When Ras planned to have Oliver destroy his home, Starling City, a tradition all becoming the next Ras al Ghul must commit (an event which would be known as the Outbreak) Oliver, who was seemingly erased from his old life, returned to his team to stop the attack and Ras al Ghul once and for all. I started watching as a WWII buff knowing that at least Russian drama school can not be bad and I am pretty much aware of the perfect costumes as bringing to life WWII cities and battles in the Russian movies. After reading the IMDb users comments I was thinking for a long time should I watch this film or not.
