Not a fan, honestly. I gave the first season a fair shot, and my wife absolutely loves it. I dunno. It feels like something I'd expect to see on the CW - wooden acting by pretty people, cheesy dialogue, bland plotting, obvious romances. That's not saying it's a bad show, just that it ain't my cup of tea. Plus, Katie Cassidy. Ugh. Okay, I will say that I've seen Amell at SDCC (last year) and interviewed a few times, and he seems like a pretty cool dude.
Not sure how I feel about them tying it in to the movie universe. I kind of feel like the BANG! Man of Steel started with would be felt in all corners of the DCFU, so Arrow would have to address it, right? Plus this Grant Gustin kid has only worked steadily on 90210 and Glee, and I'm not sure if a pretty TV actor is the best choice for a film version of Barry.
