Down to the Breaking Point.
wetmars9 December 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Alright. There is almost nothing I can say about the first 35 minutes of the episode since there isn't anything that is frankly noteworthy. Despite this, I will say that how unexpected the first scene was. The coin trick scene was quite fun to watch. The scene where Clint talks about Natasha to Kate was a nice serious & emotional moment, and the scene where the two were talking about Ronin. I do like how Kate says "God, that must have been devastating", and knows that he "is" Ronin, and confronts him about it. The last 5 minutes were truly a shocking moment with great action. You knew it was about to get serious when Kate discovered that someone was taking notes of Clint's family. It was great to see Yelena back. Oh, how the tables have turned when Clint abandons Kate as he realized that he must do this alone. Yeah, there isn't anything for me to talk about. So, here's a short review.

8/10.

It helps to watch Black Widow before this episode
snoozejonc9 January 2022
Clint Barton continues with the mission but is targeted by an assassin.

This is an enjoyable episode that includes some decent character moments for Clint.

Much like the episode 'Hide and Seek' I think you have to really enjoy the humour to get the most out of this episode. Most of the story is banter and fun before the plot moves on slightly towards the end.

For me the best moments are the heart to heart between Clint and Kate, and the action sequence at the end which has an interesting character reveal.

Jeremy Renner and Hailee Steinfeld are both solid, although Renner does have a tendency to mumble on occasion.

All production values are as strong as ever.

For me it is a 6.5/10 but I round upwards.

LOVING This Show.
MandalBros-58 December 2021
Hawkeye is getting better and better with every episode. This was funny, happy, emotional & also edgy at the end. Story wise much didn't happen, but again we've got some hints about some characters.

There were 4 characters fighting in the ending, and you know all these characters are not that bad. So, you don't want anyone to get hurt. This feeling enhance the viewing experience more. Loved it again.

Never meet your heroes
solojere8 December 2021
This episode had a lot of character development, especially for Clint, who is still trying to deal with his past and the loss of Black Widow. On the other side is Kate, who is trying desperately hard to impress her hero Hawkeye. It's not an action-packed episode, but the characters are so good you don't care. Hailee Steinfeld and Jeremy Renner have fantastic chemistry, and they really make you care about these characters. And while not a lot happens in this episode, those final few minutes are amazing, and I think it is something the fans have been waiting for. Plus, there are a few hints at the larger villain that fans have been waiting for. All in all, I love this show, and I can't wait for the next two episodes.

Why Did It Have To End ?
tristan_198 December 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Give us two hours and a half ! This is like the beginning of a phenomenal MCU movie...

The show is striking in every aspect. The cinematography, the sound effects, the fights, the emotion, the music...

How does it get from so much fun and making you happy to crying in one second ? That scene with Clint and Kate, where Hawkeye explains the best shot he ever had was the one he didn't take just shuts everything in one instant, and the scene is so well directed and created that you just feel it surrounding you with emotion.

And then, let's talk about the ending, and Yelena... Wow. You don't need more than that for now. This is a sneak peek of what's still to come, and it blows everything out of the park, with Maya, Kate, Yelena and Clint having a wonderful rooftop fight, where it almost feels like a dance. Plus Kate falling down and Clint looking was very reminiscing of Nat's death... Keep it up.

imptsir8 December 2021
Another amazing episode! Packed with a whole lot of emotions and by the end, we get to see someone who was long anticipated to appear on this show. All in all a brilliant episode. Amazing watch! Bingo, Marvel!

Another great episode but a couple of complaints
namob-436738 December 2021
This show is going from strength to strength. Despite this episode not being as great as last week, and despite the two complaints I will voice below this is still a great TV episode and bring another level to the show.

So to my two complaints. First off we have Yelena who do not shot from a distance, blow up the roof top or use her weapons or skills in any form or way to knock out her target/s. Either she is just testing Barton, which is possible, or she is a very incompetent assassin. She would simply not act and do it this way. Which leads me to the next issue; the writing/directing. I am not sure if it is the writing that make the episode feel off and the ending rushed, or if it is the directing that is missing key moments and cannot build up scenes correctly. Perhaps it is both? Regardless the acting saves it. Despite the writing/directing being slightly off, all the actors do such a great job that in the end it barely matters. This is a great example of what great actors can do with a slightly subpar material.

With those minor complaints this is still an excellent superhero TV episode and should not be missed. This is a lovely show, and if they can stick the landing this will be one of the best things Marvel has ever done.

A strong 8 out of 10, and I highly recommend.

Ending makes no sense.
Banjaxed110 December 2021
Warning: Spoilers
What was the whole point of hunting down Hawkeye. To kill him. To beat him up. Just don't understand why a certain character would just disappear over side of building rather then finish what they were there to do. That ending makes no sense. Badly written or editing in post production makes it confusing.

I want a Yelena Belova for Christmas
Trey_Trebuchet8 December 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I liked it.

I really enjoyed the character moments between Clint and Kate the most, that conversation they have about his past during the Blip. They are necessary character building moments for their relationship. I'm really interested in seeing how the writers close Clint's arc in this show. There are only two episodes left and, to me at least, I most of Clint's enemies aren't villains? They're all good people going out for revenge. All of these loose ends from Clint's past catching up to him is really well done and the final shift of that rooftop scene probably just set the mood for the rest of the show. I really don't know how this series will end and that's kind of exciting.

The real villain of the story will surely be Jack, the evil stepfather😂It's nice that aside from all of the people going after Clint, the main villain seems to be Kate's enemy, further cementing her role as the shows (possibly) title character. So far, this show has had a good balance for both of them.

Seeing Florence Pugh in this role again was super nice and I'm anxious to see what they do with her character. I was worried about how they'd embed her in this plot, but they actually did a pretty good job. Bring on the last two!

Yelena trying to hunt down Hawkeye kind of stupid.
kolboard8 December 2021
Warning: Spoilers
She is professional assasin, she is resourceful, But also she trying to hunt down Hawkeye is stupid, Hawkeye known as an Avenger, Best friend of Natasha Romanoff, So Yelena trying to kill Clint withouth even trying to talk to him is stupid, Especially becaouse of some mystery woman said to her "Natasha dead becaouse of Clint" and Yelena believes her and try to kill Clint just becaouse of this just pathetic. My english is not perfect but this plot kind of bothers me so i wanted to say it.

Great episode all around
vzzrafcjr8 December 2021
Warning: Spoilers
While the obvious highlight is yelena.

I think that the scenes between Kate and Clint in the apartment and between Kate jack and elenor at the penthouse are some of the best scenes in the show so far very nice I love it.

FAMILY
alcantaraj-165949 December 2021
Scenes with Kate Bishop and her mother (and one-dimensional fiancé) and Kate and Clint during christmas actually make this episode of Hawkeye pretty good. There are still dull moments, though.

Meh....
klaassen-323439 December 2021
It wasn't bad, but also its not a great episode.... Clint's unwillingness to elaborate on anything to Kate or actually state to Kate's mums w/Kate what the heck is actually happening is frustrating....

What a Ride
ingra888 December 2021
Warning: Spoilers
One of the strongest episodes.

Great storyline takes a big twist!

We know Maya aka Echo will get her own series, she's just a good guy out for revenge!

Second another good guy out for revenge, Yelena... Both aimed at Clint, one he intentionally killed the other wrongfully blamed.

Kate Bishop was wonderfully funny and show great skill in the fight scenes.

Note: Spoiler:- Cameo from Scarlett character from the Avengers: EndGame..(usually they would edit out the other actor..copyright from the movie... but they included Scarlett Johansson in this episode in both scene and Voice, which means she will have to be paid)

Till now: Best episode! Hawkeye and Sidekick Kate hit hard and really good
Shadowboy_25cm9 December 2021
By far, this was the best episode till now in this show.

I enjoyed it very much.

Without too much words:
  • witty dialogue
  • really good chemistry between Clint Barton and Kate Bishop
  • a lot of heart and humor
  • vulnerable Hawkeye
  • nice reference to Episode 2
  • excellent fight scene and cliffhanger


Watch it, keep to the show, because it's getting better and now I'm hooked for upcoming episodes.

Well done.

8 stars.

The bill comes due.
GomezAddams6668 December 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This amazing miniseries has given us yet another great episode.

While the series is mostly a passing of the torch affair, ut has been cleared from the start that most of the conflict will come from Clint's past, not only his murderous turn as Ronin, but the attachment he feels for Natasha Romanoff, and the guilt he feels over her death, for which he is not the only one who thinks he is directly responsible for.

As much as he may enjoy mentoring Kate in a way, she eerily reminds her of Natasha.

Top Tier MCU
cedricdumler8 December 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Hawkeye just reached a new quality peak in it's fourth episode. Masterful 40 minutes. Among the best hour of MCU television. The balance of humor, heart, emotion and thrill is freaking incredible!

Hailee Steinfeld is pure gold. Jeremy Renner is excellent. They have a unspeakably good chemistry together.

And then there's Florence, with an absolute scene stealer moment.

Next week is going to get even more crazy!

Yelena is back !!!! 'Someone has hired a black widow assassin'
navedrazaofficial8 December 2021
Warning: Spoilers
What a intriguing and interesting episode it was. Not a single dull moment. In this episode , I was crying, sobbing, laughing , screaming at the same time. There are so Black Widow references. Action was good and gagged like that action sequence could've been SO whack & goofy with everyone fighting at the same time but it worked so well. The danger, the different character dynamics and purposes clashing at the same time. It was so well shot and the choreography was FIRE.

So close to perfect
harry-345188 December 2021
This episode had some amazing, hard hitting, tragic scenes yet had some scenes that kind of ruined the episode a bit for me. Theres one scene with the character's from epsiode 2 that just felt so badly done and a bit of a waste of time. The rest of the episode was great with a more slower paced episode compared to the last three. However this episode throws things into full throttle for its final two episodes with an amazing reveal.

The rise of the Blackwidow is coming
gabethedinosaur9 December 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I couldn't believe the sister of Natasha showed up and almost tried to kill Barton for the death of Natasha who died during the events of endgame. I hope to see her again and maybe have a change of thoughts and maybe team up and find the real master mind . I hope to see kingpin in the next episode.

Partners, Am I Right
Prismark109 January 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Hawkeye meets Jack and Kate's mother. She is surprised to see an Avenger in her apartment.

Hawkeye also finds out about Jack's involvement with the Tracksuit mafia.

The episode introduces a new foe for Hawkeye, someone from a recent Marvel movie who holds Hawkeye responsible for the death of someone close to her.

It leads to very nifty rooftop fight that also includes Maya.

The episode has Eleanor Bishop concerned about her daughter's safety. Something even Hawkeye is unsure about. There is just too much danger for them both.

There are a lot of threads and threats for Hawkeye in this episode. Maya was introduced as a potential villainess in the previous episode. Now it is Yelena.

I didn't like this one that much
joejetloky9 December 2021
The episode did not keep the atmosphere of the previous ones. Clint got his ass whooped by both Maya and Yelena - new Marvel's policy I presume... I liked the Laika top :)

Okay, cool
SHU_Movies8 December 2021
Nothing amazing here, but its still a fun watch that's slowly developing and gaining more and more of my attention.

(Why did IMDB make it so you have to have 150 characters in a review? I litterally said everything I wanted to say)

Simply AWESOME!!
ericfield-535429 December 2021
This is the 1st episode that I wrote a review for. It was amazing! Every episode has been really good. This one...is the best so far. The chemistry between Hawkeye & Kate is so good!! Not going to give a spoiler but seeing Hawkeyes wife a little more involved is really cool. Can't wait to see where that leads. My only complaint about the show as a whole ks that it goes by WAY TOO FAST!! I wish they made them a whole hour. But that's just me being greedy. I love this show!!! 🎯🎯
