- Quotes
Kate Bishop: When I was younger, aliens invaded. And I was alone. And I was terrified. But then I saw you, fighting aliens with a stick and a string. I saw you jump from that building even though you can't fly, even though you don't have superpowers. And I thought, if he could do that, then I didn't have to be scared. You showed me that being a hero isn't just for people who can fly or shoot lasers out of their hands, it's for anyone who's brave enough to do what's right, no matter the cost.

This is a fun and enjoyable finish to the series.
There is action and emotion aplenty in the Christmas showdown and most of it is done very well. The humour works well and keeps everything light hearted.
The central action sequence is superbly crafted with strong action that is both exciting and funny. What's not to like about all those trick arrows?
Most of the character arcs resolve in satisfying ways, particularly the two main stars. Some of the more sentimental moments are a bit OTT for my liking, but I am a bit hard-hearted when it comes to things like that.
I think the scenes involving Yelena are hit and miss. I loved all the banter with Kate, plus her contribution to the action comedy is great. However, the conflict with Clint feels a bit forced. We know what happened to Natasha was not Clint's fault and we know they wouldn't risk make her character unpopular by killing Hawkeye, so it all feels a bit of a contrivance to get the character a prominent role. This isn't a big problem as Florence Pugh is excellent once again and very enjoyable to watch.
Vincent D'Onofrio makes a great appearance as Kingpin, but there's only so much you watch someone having various violent attacks an emerging unscathed before it feels repetitive and a bit pointless.
All performances are of a high standard and the production values are top-drawer.
For me it is a 7.5/10 but I round upwards.
