I loved the Idea of giving more exposure to the Hulk and Captain America. Jeremy Renner was a good pick as Hawkeye. He just oozes coolness! Didn’t like the Black Widow character. She seemed out of place and I wish they could’ve gotten a different actress to portray here. Good movie though! Enjoyed it a lot!
I share the same sentiments regarding Scarlett! There’s really something about her that makes it a bit off, but i think she did a good job. I had my doubts on Hawkeye, but i was proven wrong
