I just wanted to create a spoilers thread. I had some initial thoughts on this movie. Overall, I really enjoyed it! The action sequences especially were incredible. I also liked the characters and thought things were pretty well acted overall. I thought the plot was fairly predictable, although certain things did catch me by surprise. I think my only real complaint about the movie is that I feel like it would have had more impact if it had been released right after Civil War. While I love the character and was invested in the movie, I would have been even more invested if I didn't already know how things would go down in End Game. It was pretty clear that they have plans for Yelena in the MCU and are using her to set up the Hawkeye series(and I know she's made some appearances in the comics.)
8/10. Would watch again.

Overall a good movie, but not without faults. For instance, wouldn't Yelena have been trained to speak without an accent as a widow, and the parents didn't have accents back in Ohio, but have reverted to accents while still speaking English all the time. The writers definitely watched the series, The Americans. Some additional background on the Red Ranger would have been nice. I was expecting a lot more scenes of BW being trained in the Red Room, but it all ended up as a montage. Also worthy of note that the two most prominent songs in the movie were both spoofed by Weird Al.

Echo the sentiments so far. I think the accent thing made sense though I did have the same thought. Ultimately for me I just assumed they do have natural accents and it's "work" to not have it. Maybe Natasha's lack of accent is more about her trying so hard to distance herself from that life.
Lots of seeds planted for future projects which I always like.
