-Intriguing but overstated plot
-Average fight choreography ruined by quick edits and cuts

After a strong start from the 2012 opening with young kate followed by a cool animated training montage, we're straight in the mix of things with a fully grown up kate bishop - sadly as the episode progresses it's clear Hailee is not a natural when it comes to the fight choreography and the quick cuts and edits gave me terrible iron fist flashbacks so if this is something that bothered you, take this as a warning.

Into episode 2 and its clear the plot and characters are very tongue in cheek - this is not a drama and more like a family friendly action comedy a-la chuck. Its ok but so far nothing that we haven't already enjoyed across the MCU-disney-verse. Overall im disappointed with the action scenes and plot - hopefully things improve.… Expand

hawkeye is just a break for marvel fans and the only purpose of making it is to adding some characters to mcu and i think (6) is the best rating for it.

The show embracesSo... one thing has been set extremely clear with marvel series: they really dont know how to balance innovation and their traditional formula. Just like WandaVision, Hawkeye starts quite fun with some intriguing moments. The show embraces the ''christmas series'' genre in the initial episodes, but loses the funny holiday tone of the narrative progressively. Even though the show tries to demonstrate that not every cinematographic history of super heroes NEEDS to be self-serious on the first episodes, this feature is forgotten as they introduce new ''really dangerous'' characters. Moreover, Marvel needs to create a decent script for the funny moments, it gets really cheesy here and there. Despite the company efforts to innovate and create an exotic character introduction, it all ends just like WandaVision: abandoning the initial quaint characteristic and finishing with lots of CGI and battles. In spite of all that, the show has its joyful moments and is quite enjoyable, even if ocassionaly disappointing.… Expand

This show was rather cheesy even by Marvel standards and surprisingly "cheap" looking. This is a soap opera and they do little to hide it.

When Marvel announced that Phase 4 of their ambitious and huge cinematic universe would intertwine their movies with several shows that were going to be available on Disney Plus, I really wasn't sure of how that mix would turn out.

ThereWhen Marvel announced that Phase 4 of their ambitious and huge cinematic universe would intertwine their movies with several shows that were going to be available on Disney Plus, I really wasn't sure of how that mix would turn out.

There were some good things like WandaVision and Loki. Other middling ones like The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and What If...?
But Hawkeye was about one of the original 6 Avengers, so it carried a different set of expectations, especially since in my opinion that show lent itself well to the writers exploring the dark side of Clint Barton and his aftermath after what he did as Ronin.

However that wasn't the focus and that's why Hawkeye is so far the most inconsequential Marvel series of all those released so far.

Primarily this is because this series actually makes it clear pretty quickly that its only function was to introduce and position Hailee Steinfeld in the MCU and incidentally also give continuity to Florence Pugh's character after Black Widow, but really this story doesn't seem to have any significant weight in the future of the whole complex Marvel storytelling process.
Even with the appearance of Kingpin and that Echo will also get her own series on Disney Plus.

Entertaining in the basics, but absolutely trivial.… Expand

The best of the 4 Marvel shows this year but that really isn’t saying much in my opinion. Half of this felt like boring filler and the other half were fun and enjoyable.

Half of this felt like boring filler and the other half were fun and enjoyable. The action scenes never got really good in my opinion. There’s a half decent one with a car towards the beginning of the series but the rest were really bland. They had fun moments but were never really great. Some of the side characters were really boring. Vera Farmiga’s character along with her boyfriend were incredibly bland but their actors did a great job. The strongest part of this series was the performances and chemistry between Jeremy Renner and Hailee Steinfeld. Hailee Steinfeld’s character is a great addition to the MCU and I’m excited to see where she goes next and Renner was a lot of fun to watch. It was nice getting a small scale Hawkeye centric story. Florence Pugh’s Yelena made a short appearance and left another great impact as she did in Black Widow and a lot of her moments were really funny and the return of Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin from the Daredevil series was great although I had issues with him in the finale but that goes into spoilers. Speaking of the finale, it wasn’t great. Unfortunately, this show bats 0 for 4 in terms of finales. This finale was the best although it was very bland and anticlimactic in my opinion. I would recommend checking this out if you want a fun Hawkeye story of Christmas story but other than that, you can probably pass on this.… Expand

First of all I really liked the chosen cast for the series, its incredible how good the actor of Kate Bishop fits her role. The Connection between Hawkeye and Kate Bishop was very well written, good structured and they had a good chemistryFirst of all I really liked the chosen cast for the series, its incredible how good the actor of Kate Bishop fits her role. The Connection between Hawkeye and Kate Bishop was very well written, good structured and they had a good chemistry all the way.

But (not everything before this word is **** the whole series was just mediocre for me. It was okay, but I never felt having a blast and there where only minor "WOW"-Effects, for example Loki and Wandavision were way superior on quality. So all in all its okay to watch, but some episodes were boring. Its an okay start for the Hawkeye and Bishop journey, but nothing really impressive.… Expand

Too much female empowerment too little respectful treatment of Hawkeye and the story in general. Feels like the scripts lack some serious quality control.

Pretty average to say the least. It seems they did a Cut and Paste of Captain and Falcon which was already average. I feel like the whole point of the season was to introduce a new character.

Liked Kate Bishop and Clint Barton's dynamic in the show, however. I didn't really like how the show didn't have really any stakes.
