7/10
Not bad but a bit underwhelming. Solid is a good word. Maybe i'm just older now. The attempts at humor were shrugworthy at most times. Overall Yelena is a great addition if not replacement. Taskmaster not so much. Red Guardian as the comic relief? ok. Good moments, blah moments. The problem i have is the most interesting parts of the story came up in dialogue instead of being depicted on screen. Natasha's escape from the program woulda been cool as hell to see.
Some things just made it hard to care about, like the pushbacks, the fact that Natasha's dead, it's place in the mcu timeline, etc. That makes it easier to scrutinize.
