And, by starting in the middle like this, there was like a year of development we are supposed to assume just happened. I mean, how did they all end up working together again? I assume we're meant to assume Clint was at his farm when SHIELD fell, recuperating from mind control, but we're never told that. There were so many unanswered questions.
Yes - I think this was my problem - I was expecting the movie where they start working as a functioning team and have found-familiness and all that and that was the part that was skipped over.
I think your point about something being missing is really the bottom line. There's a hollowness about this movie that can't be cured, and ironically I feel like it's because there's too much going on, but none of it really matters or has stakes to invest in. And that makes the movie feel so shallow, and I never invested.
There was a lot of foreshadowing, but I didn't actually want to know about future movies, I wanted this one to be interesting instead! Darn it Joss! *g*
