Hawkeye 2021

it's not that bad if you don't know the source material, but kate bishop is my favorite comic character and fraction's hawkeye is incredible and compared to that, this falls short

The previous Marvel limited series were so bad that this felt like “Citizen Kane” in comparison, but unfortunately, we are still getting watered-down 4+ hour movies instead of actual TV shows. It’s a pity because without the extra fat, “Hawkeye” could have been an enjoyable straight-to-TV Christmas movie.

If the objective was to have us like Barton and Bishop more, they succeeded. The actors have great chemistry, and I am definitely looking forward to seeing more of them. Yelena and Swordsman were also excellent additions to the cast.

The villains, on the contrary, felt quite highly disposable. Echo has the same exact role and development as Yelena, but not nearly the same charisma. The lethal last boss has been suggested for five episodes, but when he finally comes out, he gets humiliated by all the main characters in a couple of minutes.

Can I pretty please get a Kate & Yelena series? Their chemistry is by far the best part of this show. Loved it.

Kingpin's "Mind you own bussiness" is probably the only good thing this show has.

Why do all these shows rely on "guess who's the real big bad" twist for its conclusion. Just make a compelling series with a clear villain from the start and develop that, Jesus. I just don't know how people can be hyped for characters they are not familiar with. I guess some of the hype is created by media buzz to tell you "hey, this is actually a great thing!"

Maybe because I had no expectations, this ended up to be a pleasant surprise. I loved it very much and if anyone loves the MCU should give this a watch.

More trash from Kevin Feige. All of the auxiliary characters are poorly acted and annoying feel bad for Jeremy Renner for being roped into this series.

loading replies

Decent start so far. The ground work was made for what could be something really great. I love that they’re addressing the wear in tear being a hero can have on just a regular guy like Clint. I’m also a sucker for seeing big events through the lens of pedestrians. Introducing Echo in red lighting can’t be a coincidence can it???

hailee steinfeld supremacy + the dog needs more screentime honestly

As always with MCU shows/movies, there's great stuff here but it's buried under the usual formula and the need to setup a hundred other things by taking time away from the core of the story. This was sold as the Marvel version of a Shane Black movie but it's basically an anesthetized version of Shane Black.

A (mostly) very good cast for a (mostly) very dull show.

What a piece of garbage, then what else can we expect from D+ Just glad this was mini series and consigned to the archives.

loading replies

It didn't hit me until the last episode but this series also introduces the Swordsman character, Jack Duquesne (Jacques Duquesne in the comics). In the comics this character was the one who first trained Hawkeye and they've always had a connection.

Best Marvel Disney+ show to date! Takes the elongated Marvel movie but fits the best in the episodic format without feeling dragged out. Keeps the stakes low but feels bigger than most of the other recent Marvel releases, with fun surprises and cameos throughout. The Christmas setting really helps as well.

Hawkeye, a superhero show that is fun and enjoyable, but when compared to other superhero shows from the MCU, this series does not provide a shock effect or something that makes the audience's eyes widen.

loading replies

Show is decent overall, but also has some unnecessary weakpoints.

loading replies

It was kind of unexpected for me how much I enjoyed it. I had really low expectations (because Hawkeye), but I think this is one of my favorite MCU-shows thus far. It's not that big in scale, which helps a lot. The dynamic between Kate and Clint is great and Yelena is awesome. I just had fun with this, it has great humor most of the time. Nothing unexpected or stuff that made me fall of my chair laughing, but just a fun, action-packed show. Also, love the Christmas-setting; move aside Iron Man 3!

loading replies

It is becoming increasingly clear that the Marvel series are elongated subplots of films that fail to have their own entity (except in some cases). There is a certain irony here that brings the Christmas context, but also makes it an easily forgettable product that doesn't even take advantage of the context and the characters. It's kind of like Marvel fast food that as soon as it's eaten as it's expelled.

The conversation about how branding should be sincere & the MCU is selling inspiration is gonna be the last thing rattling in my brain before death.

The acting was good though

loading replies

This was a lot of fun. Some neat surprises (I'm talking about you know who appearing in the final episode). All in all, I think this was the funnest of the Marvel shows so far though Loki and WandaVision had a lot more creative leeway. Anyways, the Christmas setting does a lot for it and I'm glad this character got his own solo project.

loading replies

Honestly this show was okay. Started off pretty mediocre but got better from Episode 3 onwards. I have mixed feelings on the ending of this show and the return of Kingpin.

I felt like Yelena forgiving Clint happened weirdly. It's like she denied everything he said about Natasha until a point, and then she believed him for some reason. Very odd.

Also Kingpin felt off to me in the finale. The characterisation he received in Daredevil was leagues better then what he got here. In this show he just seemed like a generic bad guy boss. Also I really hope he didn't die at the end cause if he did, what a waste of his character!

Overall this show felt like the weakest of any MCU show we got this year. It had its moments, but there was also a lot of messy plot points and character arcs.

On that note however, I do look forward to seeing Kate Bishop in future MCU projects. Her and Clint's relationship was the highlight of this show for me.

Just another show about rich people that can afford rent. So boring.

loading replies

Disappointed in that it feels scripted and stiff. Terrible idea of Ronin as a person. A or the Ronin - The Disgraced Japanese Samurai. A Ronin was a samurai without a lord or master during the feudal period of Japan. A samurai became masterless upon the death of his master or after the loss of his master's favor or privilege.
The whole idea seems to be reaching for something but not sure how this all works as a theme. Maybe trying to make a vigilante from whole cloth is asking too much. I won' t watch this "want to be" Marvel series from Disney Studios. God Bless Stan Lee a true creator.

except cool arrows and larpers this show is just bad because there is nothing new about the story. Full of plotholes and Comedic goons. Yelena can't even defeat kate lol. Climax was disappointing. I liked arrow more than hawkeye

loading replies

This was a relatively exciting show to watch... until I finished it and immediately forgot about its existence. I enjoyed the relationship dynamic between Clint and Kate (who was the perfect character foil). The series felt shallow because there wasn't anything particularly unique or memorable.

loading replies

It's hard for me to express how badly I wish this was a movie instead of a series.

loading replies

While Marvel shows have been hit or miss, I really enjoyed this low-level crime-fighting show. The characters are all fun and the story is simple and easy to follow, I just enjoyed watching this.

Yelena deserves her own show.

My favorite Marvel show so far. It was actually fun, and it delivered to what it set out to be, a fun Christmas show.

loading replies

It starts well, fades off in the middle, then roars back. But overall, it's a well-told story. Glancing at a comment below, I think the "arrow effects" are way better than in ... er... Arrow. Kate Bishop starts off annoying but "likeability" steadily improves. It's a solid Marvel show, with a flickering but reasonable premise. The showdown in the last episode raised it from a 7 to an 8 for me.

loading replies

loved this show sooo much, it had me in my feels since the first five minutes,
Jeremy, Hailee and Florence did such a great job, AAAAAAH
i loved Yelena and Kate's interactions

loading replies

As of right now, this is probably the best MCU Disney+ show. We'll have to see how things go with Moon Knight and onward.

The chemistry between basically every character is great, especially between Clint and Kate. The villains were fun interesting, and intimidating, and the flow of the story was very well paced, and every episode had something engaging that made it stand out from the others.

They do a much better job at characterizing Clint in this show than they have done with any other main character in these MCU shows. At its core, it's about his struggle with his past actions as the Ronin, and how both his heroic and non-heroic actions have unknowingly affected people.

Not a second is wasted in delivering a good story with good characters. I wish the other shows that came before had as much care put into the writing and direction as this one did.

Finished it up this morning. First I'll say that I absolutely despise the weekly release so I always wait till the show is completely finished and watch them all in one go. I feel you get a better overall experience by doing that.

We really enjoyed the show. First I liked the fact that it took place over a 5 day period instead of being drawn out over a month or longer. It's nice seeing the average guy, Barton (sorta) doing his thing. I actually liked how they brought Kate Bishop into the show. Does it follow the comics? No. It was well done though. Overall the 6 episodes were really well done. Looking forward to another season.

loading replies

This was a good watch, I wasn't too fussed on the first couple of episodes as i thought it was a bit too cringy for my liking but once Florence Pugh entered to reprise her role as Yelena I was invested.

loading replies

I've seen some Hawkeye Does Die Hard comments and I think they're off the mark... Something like Hawkeye Has A Daredevil Xmas seems more accurate. (And Daredevil feels like it deserves another season as it was the strongest of the streaming outings by far and could have stepped up to a movie had Marvel been more about story than visuals)

loading replies

Don't think Hawkeye was amazing, but overall, it was still amusing in my opinion! Felt some things were lacking. Thankfully the show got better after each episode. Fun action sequences especially in ep3 and 6. If there's a second season, I will check it out.

loading replies

The show’s ok. As a stand-alone series, it isn’t very strong, but just because it’s connected to the MCU, it automatically becomes better. By the way, I truly hope that the musical stays in this series… good lord! It’s cringeworthy!

loading replies

loved every minute of the show, if only there were more episodes.
I hope there's a second season

I came into this with low expectations. I was rather surprised by how good it was. I was even more surprised by how much I liked it. This is a pretty good story about a guy trying to get back to his family for Christmas.

loading replies

:heart:x8
This was delightful lighthearted fun! Clint finds himself a mentee. Kate found herself a new father figure. Jack Duquesne turns out to be a good guy . Eleanor turns out not so surprisingly to be the bad guy . Lots of fun with arrows and explosions. And best of all Kingpin is back.

How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!

loading replies

Well that was incredibly... bland...

loading replies

What can I say? Just give me more.
Well, I didn't expect that at all, but I'm kinda love it. I never really liked Clint that much, but it changed a bit after this. Kate was awesome, I'm really liked Hailee in that role. Still I can't decided what realtionship I love more - Kate/Clint or Kate/Jelena?
Also it was pretty great see Kingpin again.
Oh, and nice surprise (to me because i'm polish) was that one of the tracksuits guys was played by polish actor - it kinda never happens in american productions.

A good and refreshing series during Christmas!

Great chemistry between the two leads with a couple of surprises mixed in makes this fun and enjoyable.

Much better than Loki. Jeremy and Hailey are good together and much better acting at least. Definitely recommend.

we love to see another queen join the MCU.

Just finished the first two episodes (I seriously dislike episodic releases, I will probably wait until the whole season drops before I watch the rest). Initial impressions - interesting characters, great chemistry between Clint and Kate (they are perfect foils for each other), great fight scenes (they’ve given Kate the Black Widow’s signature move). Lots of action. Lots of fun. Love the dog. Based on the first two episodes, I’m giving this series an 8 (great) out of 10. [Superhero Action Adventure]

loading replies

Honestly, how could this fail? Two of the fasted rising stars (Hailee Steinfeld and Florence Pugh), the weight of the Marvel Universe behind it (Kevin Feige’s vision and Marvel’s course corrections in balancing humour, action and superheroes) and the growing power of the television format to maximize storylines. This was another winner. The only holdbacks for me were the one toned performance of Jeremy Renner and the weakness of a credible threat. I give this series an 8 (great) out if 10.

THIS SHOW IS SUPER FRICKIN AWESOME AMAZING AND HAS DEFINITELY TAKEN SECOND PLACE OVER WANDAVISION AS BEING MY ABSOLUTE SECOND FAVOURITE D+ SHOW
WITH "TFATWS" BEING MY NUMBER 1.
CB ONE, KATE, YELENA WERE PHENOMENAL AND I COULD NOT GET ENOUGH OF ALL INVOLVED. WOW...JUST...WOW.
THIS SHOW HAD EVERYTHING AND WAS THE GIFT THAT KEPT ON GIVING EACH AND EVERY EPISODE. THE LOKI SHOW WAS GARBAGE TO BEGIN WITH NOW WITH HAWKEYE BEING THIS AWESOME JUST MAKES LOKI EVEN MORE TRASH,
where/how did it all go wrong for that show?).

HAWKEYE GOT IT RIGHT EVERY SINGLE EPISODE AND I DIDN'T WANT IT TO END AND IRONICALLY HAWKEYE WAS A BETTER RESPECTFUL SEND OFF FOR NAT THAN HER OWN SOLO MOVIE
BLACK WIDOW WAS.

THIS SHOW WAS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF HOW TO GET IT ALL RIGHT AND THEN SOME.
I DEFINITELY NEED MORE CB ONE KATE AND YELENA IN MY LIFE.
10/10 PERFECT.

MORE THAN "A" FAN

(HAWKEYE IS ONE OF THE MANY MANY REASONS WHY).

watched the first episode and did not like the plot tempo and how the characters were developed.

Some of the humor could've used more work, but overall, I loved this series. Now I understand what everyone was talking about re Kate & Yelena lol.

I mean I'm not going to lie, I liked this alot. The characters and the plot to introduce multiple characters mixed in with the creative cgi scenes or bouncy practical scenes, It's great.

I will admit I was disappointed

The series gets interesting in the second part, so you have to endure a weak beginning.

This was far and away my favorite of the Marvel TV/mini-series. I thought that storyline, the characters and their arcs, the writing, and the acting all meshed well together. The cast was top-notch. Hailee Steinfeld turned in another terrific performance, as did Florence Pugh, and newcomer Alaqua Cox was truly impressive, all the more so as an actor in their first role. I'm particularly looking forward to Ms. Cox continuing on w/ her character in Marvel's upcoming Echo. I also hope to see Ms. Steinfeld continue on w/ her character, as well. All in all, this was just a really well-produced, well-written, and well-acted mini-series.

I very much enjoyed this. A nice balance between drama, action and fun. There's quite some comedy in this.
It's also much more enjoyable than for example Arrow, which at some became endlessly stupid gun fights vs arrows.
The amount of fist fights in this was also not over the top (vs how it was in Dare Devil or the golden fist boy...).
Acting in this series is here and there a bit sub par (strange to come to this conclusion when you look at the actor star cast) But overall, very enjoyable series.

MODERATION EDIT: Don't use offensive words.

3 Thoughts After Completing ‘Hawkeye’:

  1. Not as great as WandaVision. Not as terrible as The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

  2. The show was fairly one-note up until the finale. Very little buildup throughout most of its duration. And some connections didn’t really click. (I found it odd that Hawkeye so casually knew about Kingpin.)

  3. Fortunately, we were treated to some fantastic characters. It was nice getting to know Renner’s Hawkeye a bit more. Steinfeld is so frickin’ likable. Kingpin was a pleasure to watch, as always. And Pugh was FANTASTIC.

loading replies

If it wasn't for Renner and Steinfield, i would of booted it in the first episode. A pretty pointless show.

The funniest marvel TV show ever.
It's based on the comics (Hawkeye by Fraction & Aja) and I recommend it, if you loved the series.

Marvel need to start paying David Aja and given that his influence over the series is absolutely everywhere, it's criminal that he hasn't been yet.
