Cinema 25 May, 2017

The Arrow Season 5 Season Finals leave doubt about the future of Oliver’s Team. Check out our review of “Lian Yu”!
Last night, in episode 23 of Arrow’s Season 5, Oliver and Slade united against Prometheus . Did they defeat Chase? Was this Season Finale up to our expectations? Melty’s editorial reveals his criticism of this last episode of Arrow’s Season 5 . “Lian Yu” opens with Oliver and Slade. The latter seems to be himself again because the Miraku no longer works. He regrets his actions and seems ready to help Oliver who offers to lend a helping hand to him to find his son. Slade then finds the mask of Deathstroke. “You and me kid, like before,” he announces. Oliver will have to try to unite his new team better and it is not won. However, he quickly manages to find Thea, Felicity and Samantha as Captain Boomerang turns against him when Evelyn and Talia appear . Fortunately, Slade chooses Oliver’s camp and Nyssa arrives at the right time to make her sister doubt. In a flashback, Kovar discovers the empty cell of Oliver while the latter is still captured a few minutes later or almost! The hero manages to kill the 6 men of Kovar by himself. If Felicity and Thea have difficulty understanding Slade’s presence, Green Arrow asks Malcolm, Curtis and Thea to take Felicity and Samantha to Chase’s plane for shelter. While Oliver plans to help Evelyn despite his treason, Felicity embraces Oliver just before leaving. Olicity is on the right voice in Arrow 5 season ! For their part, Dinah, Diggle, Rene and Quentin are locked up by Black Siren. Even the cry of Black Canary can not save them because his gift is blocked thanks to a technology. Chase really has it all!
Slade makes the voice of wisdom by admitting to Oliver that he is suffering from the survivor’s syndrome and that he must forgive himself for Robert’s suicide and all that followed . Oh Slade, you missed us ! Meanwhile, Thea is walking on a mine! Immediately, Malcolm tries to save his daughter by taking his place. When Captain Boomerang found himself alone, Malcolm did not hesitate to sacrifice himself in the Season 5 season finale of Arrow. Thea is upset, she does not finally hate her father. As for Nyssa, she finds the place where Chase retains the Oliver Team while Slade suggests to separate. Once Nyssa has his back turned, he puts KO Oliver and announces to Black Siren that he has a gift for Chase. It does not smell good for Oliver! While Curtis and Felicity understand that the island is covered with explosives, Oliver and the rest of his team manage to free themselves with a Curtis technology that makes his cry to Dinah. Nyssa and Talia fight an epic battle and Slaaaade comes to help Oliver’s “wife”! Yes, he’s still on the side of the Green Arrow, his punch was just a diversion. It is finally the hour of the great fight between Chase and Oliver in this Season Finale of the season 5 of Arrow . In a flashback, our hero is about to kill Kovar but ends up with a weapon unloaded. The battle between the two men finds a striking parallel with the current battle. Special mention to Quentin who does not fail to knock the Laurel d ‘ Earth 2. In the past, Oliver does not hesitate to break the neck of Kovar while in the present, he finds himself in exactly the same situation with Chase. The Green Arrow struggles not to kill him although his rival encourages him to show who he really is. “No, that’s what I was before,” he says. Chase then announces that William is dead but Oliver refuses to believe or become the man that his enemy wants him to be. And he is right because Felicity tells him that if he kills Chase, it will explode all the bombs of the island which will kill them all … The Green Arrow struggles not to kill him although his rival encourages him to show who he really is. “No, that’s what I was before,” he says. Chase then announces that William is dead but Oliver refuses to believe or become the man that his enemy wants him to be. And he is right because Felicity tells him that if he kills Chase, it will explode all the bombs of the island which will kill them all … The Green Arrow struggles not to kill him although his rival encourages him to show who he really is. “No, that’s what I was before,” he says. Chase then announces that William is dead but Oliver refuses to believe or become the man that his enemy wants him to be. And he is right because Felicity tells him that if he kills Chase, it will explode all the bombs of the island which will kill them all …
Again, the flashbacks and the present are similar when Oliver runs through Lian Yu to save his son. Five years ago, he joined a fishing boat while today he finds himself on that of his rival. Oliver is sure his team can escape but Chase sabotaged the plane. Slade must then take them to the other side of the island to find the ARGUS. Chase retains William and Oliver must choose between his son or all the others . He then shoots on Chase without killing him and a new flashback takes us back 5 years earlier, when Oliver announced by phone to Moira that he was alive. This is a really touching scene. But when it was thought that the Green Arrow had won, Chase committed suicide and exploded everything leaving the fate of all those who were on the island very uncertain. Are they really dead? Summer is going to be very long! The Season Finals of the first two seasons are among the best episodes of the entire series, while those of Seasons 3 and 4 were somewhat disappointed. With “Lian Yu” , Arrow hits hard. The episode was, let’s not be afraid to say it, brilliant and probably the best of all! It has continued to improve until the end, with particularly perfectly choreographed and memorable combat scenes. This Season Finale looped looped. If the conclusion is dramatic and the expectation of season 6 is agonizing, it is a real pleasure to find Manu Bennett in the role of Slade. His fraternal relationship with Oliver, very complex since the death of Shado, Was one of the greatest strengths of this episode. This is a 10/10 for “Lian Yu” . Highly season 6 of Arrow ! And you, what did you think of this Season 5 Season Finale of Arrow?
