This movie KICKS ASS.
Coming off of the disappointing mess that brave new world was, I expected a badly written, somewhat funny, generic film
I got a well written, genuinely funny, and surprisingly entertaining and well executed story.
The characters:
Yelena: a good and understandable protagonist. It also helps that Florence Pugh really plays this character well.
Red guardian: I was laughing my ass off with every line and gag that had to do with this guy. David harbour was born to play him.
Ghost: she’s kind of a nothing burger in this movie. Sure, she’s likable and funny, but there’s not much else to say.
Walker: understandable motives, and again, an enjoyable character.
Bob: god, you will end the movie loving him.
Bucky: he’s armed and dangerous. Again.
Taskmaster: who?
Valentina: Julia Louis Dreyfus kills it in this role. You’ll love to hate her.
Post credit scene: gotta say, it’s fantastic.
