Reaction: While still successful, the box office numbers took a sharp down-turn from the first Green Arrow. This could be due to any number of reasons, although our marketing department suspects it is due to fewer well-known actors, no popular villains, and fewer big action set-pieces in this film compared to the first film. Hopefully things turn around with the third entry, which APJ is already writing for the studio.

"Superhero films tend to only be as good as the villain, but with Green Arrow 2: Hunters, I'm honestly not even sure who the main villain was. The first Green Arrow technically had a handful of villains, but they were all interesting and played by fun actors. Here, we have a slew of minor villains, all not doing very much." - Jeff Stockton, The Roundup

"I know I complained a little bit about Green Arrow not having enough set-pieces, but that film had tons compared to this one. Here we get a couple of decent rooftop fight scenes, but nothing coming close to the excitement of the first film." - Rob Morse, ScreenRant

"I could have used some more action in this one, but Armie Hammer and Vanessa Kirby are so good as their characters that it's hard to not have a good time." - Sara Karlsson, Willamette Week
