I think this was Renner's best performance as the character. He seemed to really be enjoying himself here.
Absolutely loved Hawkeye in this. Loved all his little quips....
Loved his snarkiness with Stark at the Raft.
I know a lot have said that what's said in this seems to confirm that he retired in Age of Ultron at the end, but I actually disagree. To me (and this is just my personal interpretation of it), he was off spending time with his family (not necessarily retired) when the Sokovia Accords mess came up - he was contacted, told the options, and he rejected the accords and therefore chose the 'retirement' option. Again, that's just my take on it.
Loved his encounter with Vision and his foresight to try and stall Vision while he and Wanda get away. Just all around, loved him (as always)
That's ********. Hawkeye could very much be a main character in a film and be fantastic.Liked Hawkeye a lot here. He needs to be strictly a backup character, popping up with occasional witty dialogue and performing some decent action sequences. Check, check, and check.
In that case, he likely wouldn't have had to sign. But since he showed up out of retirement, his status would have reverted back to become equal to those of CA, Falcon, and Wanda's no-signs.I thought he retired rather than sign the Accord which had his name in it and a line for his signature.
Callback to AOUAlso when he first shows up he says:
"I retire for five minutes and it all goes to ****" which to me means that he considered himself retired before the Sokovia Accords came into action, and that's when he considered things going to ****.
I too loved Hawkeye in this movie, especially being a mentor figure to Wanda.
