predictable, cookie cutter, meh.

How does that abomination, Iron Fist tie into this?

Didn't know anything about this before hand either but it was a good popcorn movie.

That was a totally different story then, Why didn't they just make a new movie? It not an origin story then.

That does sound like a cool story. And I can see why you'd think of him along the same lines as Hawkeye or Black Widow. I actually really like the Black Widow character and would have been into it even without ScarJo's hotness factored in. They've obviously thrown that away though and gone in a different direction.

Follow the conversation, Sparky.

Fight scenes made the movie. The bits between were often quite rough though.

Post credits scene, the first one anyway, was awesome.

Visually pleasing. Exciting choreography. Good narrative flow, breezy banter. But the cookie-cutter critiques are accurate overall, not that it makes it bad, just a limitation of the entire notion of superhero blockbusters.

The 'men won't let you train, but we will, and you'll be better than all of them' is so overplayed at this point. 'You'll summon the elements and kick their asses with a swirl of effing leaves?' Gah, blah. Bwana had a better plan for destruction using leaves when he left an engine block in a pile on the street.

Awkwafina was fine. It was comic relief, and as retreaded as the grrlpowa stuff above. But it's just a necessity of the narrative form, and she did an adequate, distinctive, job of it.

Put me to sleep... Meh
