Not sure what exactly they were thinking when they made this movie. It opened up great picking up minor unresolved plot lines from the previous movie. However, in 110-minutes they didn't manage to show anything resembling closure to any of the unanswered questions from the previous movie or this movie. They added new characters (I will bet Uma had some overdue unsettled electricity bills or something so she needed this role), introduced major new plots but the whole time it felt like the movie was stuck in a rut spinning its wheels but not moving forward at all.
I assume this movie was some dimwit exec's idea of building towards a franchise but I, for one, honestly think I will skip any future movies since the creators lack the bare minimum decency to resolve some of the issues they made the viewers invest in.
Even though Marvel has been awful lately but not even Marvel pulled a stupid stunt like this.
The first movie was good and it should be treated as a standalone.
Skip this one and all future installments.

The first 2 seasons are just incredible. Perfect in every cinematic sense - great cast, great performance, great script with a lot of edge-of-your-seat tension and even tears-rolling comic scenes. It felt similar to how 1st season of Prison Break felt - clever plot and people you want to invest in.
The 3rd season, in my opinion, tried to maintain the same vibe but you could see clearly the creators dropped out their originality in favor of getting a popular Netflix series so they started filling it with the cliche characters and scenes that are typical to the Netflix (garbage?) shows.
The 4th season is where it seems the show decided they didn't care about keeping true to the original show and started making characters behave in a completely out-of-character ways. The script started to have major loop holes and a few too many "coincidences" and "Deus ex machina" moments.
The last season was bordering on the unbearable. Cutting away from the few minutes of intense action almost all the time to show cutscenes of events and people whose story didn't need to be told and served no real purpose. The melodrama was turned on heavy and in certain episodes the real show was like 25% and the rest just emotional fluff.
It gets so bad towards the last half of the season that you stop really caring about any of the characters (the characters that we have known and loved intensely over the first 2 seasons and the new 1 dimensional characters that were introduced in the new show) and just wish they would get on with whatever will happen next even if they should die. Oh and the last 2 seasons you can also start to see the creators building to create a spinoff about certain characters who are supposed to be dead but somehow 50% screen time is dedicated to telling their stories and memories.
Overall, this is a watchable show that starts very very good and then takes a nose dive (but still remains watchable) in later seasons.

Any tv show or movie starts by a set of "facts" and the viewer must accept those facts in order to enjoy the rest of the show.
The thing with Hanna is that this suspension of belief will need to be extreme.
I liked the show and give it 6-7 but I also acknowledge this is not a show that you will enjoy if you're paying too much attention to details.
The main premise of the show makes very little sense and has massive holes. A lot of the suspense sequences are made with illogical jumps that make you wonder how exactly did they get from A to B. The main character, Hanna, can portray the personality of a teenager who was raised to be the ultimate soldier but she cannot really fight all that well. Everyone is traveling across Europe in a matter of minutes to the point where you feel the European continent is no larger than a big city.
All that said, there are enough decent plot twists and action to keep you engaged throughout all 3 seasons.
We binged this show over a week and to be frank I never felt bored (except for a few times when they used drama to fill in gaps).
