The film spends scant time exploring the implications of these darker themes, and doesn’t attempt to understand the root of Dreykov’s god complex. Instead, it’s more comfortable in comedy mode

This movie gets the lowest possible rating for its propagandistic depiction of Russia and its citizens.

Non-US affiliated male Russians are portrayed as incompetent or cunning, calculating, cruel, corrupt, lacking sophistication etc., whereas their female counterparts are portrayed as victims (e.g. the scenes after Natasha and her sister are taken from their 'parents' being filmed in such a way as to evoke documentary footage of human trafficking and prostitution rings; the Widows being deprived of their reproductive organs by their male superiors.) And Russian prison wardens and inmates apparently do not merit rescue by our heroes after being buried underneath an avalanche.

The film-makers want it both ways - we are to believe that Russia is a backward nation with second-rate technology (note the cumbersome Russian helicopter contrasted with the sleek American Quinjet), but also one that is extremely capable at causing international strife - due to the indoctrination of its citizens, the deprivation of their individuality and free will. A 'good' Russian is thus one that hopes to escape to Ohio ('The Land of the Free') or join an American superhero taskforce.

To have all the Russian characters portrayed by Western actors is but another glaring example of the movie's dishonesty, but also helps us identify it as that which it ultimately is - propagandistic filmmaking. Black Widow exemplifies the considerable sway of the US military-entertainment complex, its ability to impose its geopolitical agenda on the MCU; but the obvious propaganda leaves the movie bereft of any artistic merit it may have otherwise possessed.

I can but humbly suggest that viewers seek out Andrey Zvyagintsev's masterful 'Loveless' for its critical, unflinching portrayal of modern-day Russia.

I'd like to add that 'feminism' and 'SJWs' aren't to blame for the movie's Russophobia. That so many users here believe this to be the case is quite worrisome, and imo proof of the efficacy of our politics of division. We should all wish (for the world) to be free of scapegoatism, oppression and double-standards.

It goes back to the events following Captain America: Civil War and seems to be utterly useless when all is said and done. Simply put, it's a movie to silence everyone whining about there not being a standalone Black Widow movie and nothing more.

The jokes fall flat, the CGI is good one minute, poor the next, the villain doesn't make his debut until the fourth quarter, leaving you wondering why you should care about any characters practically the whole way through. David Harbour's character is annoying, cringe-worthy, and just plain stupid, and will make you asking why you're paying to see it. Rachel Weisz is stale as can be.

All-in-all, this felt like a high-budget TV production. Perhaps Disney should have put it for free on their streaming platform.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Do not pay for this movie. It had some good moments, but overall isn’t worth it bc they did such a **** job with character development. The ending was just very bad over the top action. Not a lot of investment in terms of emotions, and the family dynamics just were cheap. Flat characters in most cases, except for Florence Pugh. Everyone else may as well have just been a prop. The worst of the MCU by far, it made some other Disney films look like masterpieces.

I don’t know what’s up with the critics reviews; the scores are way inflated for whatever reason. They were really phoning in the acting, the action, and the plot. I’m having the sense the audience is much more split on how good it was. I went to see it with 3 women and 2 men, and we all agreed, not even worth staying to see the post credits. It made Loki look like a god damn Oscar contender, despite it being a TV show.

Far, far, far, more props and nonsensical moments than should have been for a comic movie. Even Spider-Man had better sequencing, direction, and acting. I felt like this was just tossing a bone to Scarjo for all the **** she put up with, but overall, missed the mark in terms of gravity. Black Panther was way better, by miles, and hell so was Wandavision and Cpt America / Winter Soldier.

I think the biggest let down of the entire film: the chance to satisfyingly end things was literally just written off, and instead went to a trite scene special effects. Instead of a harrowing moment, you just got a face full of bull**** special effects.

“Could end the movie here; but instead we’ll show you 15 more minutes of bull**** acting and even stupider special effects AND EXPLOSIONS for no reason whatsoever! Gratifying and cathartic? Who wants that, let’s give you shallow Hollywood boom booms!”

They took a story about child abuse and **** it ALL up and watered it down to a soup of “who the **** cares, here’s action”

0/10. Didn't hold my interest because the screenwriter failed at writing likable characters and including witty conversation. I abandoned the movie over and hour in after watching 30 minutes more than I wanted to.

ScarJo can't carry a scene and her sidekick sounds like she's smoked 5 packs a day for years. The whole story should have been rewritten by someone with actually writing talent BEFORE going to production. If the screenwriter cannot make the characters likable and the dialog witty, there's no point in telling the story.

Then there's un-needed details that slow the movie down that should have been reserved for the directors cut. Re-editing the movie would fix some of the problems.

All these above problems stem from Marvel/Disney having too much money and letting the woke crowd dictate policy. Marvel needs to create a new unit called Marvel Cinematic Woke Universe. Black Widow (and to a lesser extent, Loki) is what happens when you cater to the woke crowd that demands quotas and representation instead of story and acting substance excellence. These days, too much of the content...both TV and Movie...seem to be unpolished screenwriting that's rushed to production.

In the world of the Black Widow ALL the men (except for one minorWhen I left the theater, I felt both empty and annoyed, and I really wanted to get my money back! Why? Because Black Widow is All About Bashing Eastern European, White, Men! In the world of the Black Widow ALL the men (except for one minor exception) was White, Slavic AND either pure evil, pure dopey, pure mindless automatons or purely neglectful - or some combination of the above. There was not a single man I could identify with for more than a split second. Which is so ironic, since the audience for this film is gonna be made up of mostly White men. The women, on the other hand, are all good, severely victimized, mostly young and all beautiful in their multicultural glory. Why do bad guys only recruit beautiful women? If I were an average looking woman, I wouldn't be too happy with this outdated and ridiculous stereotype, either. And, without exception, every single one of the women in Black Widow was severely abused by older, White, Slavic men. Talk about needing therapy!

One of the main characters is the usual, and totally predictable, evil maniac. He and his associates are, of course, all Slavic men, with bad Russian accents. I am a second generation American of Eastern European decent and I'm sick and tired of seeing Eastern Europeans with beards being portrayed in American films as homicidal lunatics. It's offensive. STOP IT! It's really bad film making. It borders on antisemitism. You cannot have the good people being multicultural, but all the bad folks being exclusively from one gender, one race and one ethnic group. That’s only common sense. And I don’t care that its only a “comic book” story. That makes it okay, somehow?

Bash on a multicultural basis if you're gonna do any bashing. Otherwise, what you are accomplishing - supposedly “Liberal” Hollywood - is being racist, sexist, ageist and succeeding in portraying the most disgusting stereotypes imaginable. I can only hope Slavic people around the world will not see this vile movie. Or, better yet, Eastern European filmmakers will start making films where every bad guy is a pasty White, American male, Anglo-Saxon Protestant with a big beer belly and a really bad haircut! One can only hope!

Scarlett is as good as ever, but the whole family dynamic is kinda stupid and the red guardian is played as an absolute joke despite being an extremely powerful super soldier. I would have otherwise given this movie a solid 6, but there is one more glaring issue. This movie absolutely annihilated taskmaster. It is so astonishing how badly they **** him up. This take on the character was worse than Deadpool in x-men origins AND the mandarin in Iron man 3 put together. I cannot overstate how upsettingly terrible "He" was. I actually feel bad for the person who played "Him" because they did their best with an absolutely abysmal character. What an absolute soccer kick to the face.

I'm giving this movie a 1 purely because I've always liked Black Widow in the MCU, and I feel bad that this is movie is her legacy. If you were excited for taskmaster, steer clear from this movie, the fan theories were significantly better.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all let's get the praises done with. The comedic scenes are hilarious. The part where Natasha, Yelena, Alexei and Melina are sitting across the table and discussing a plan was very funny, so was when Red Guardian was telling how he is a coward and the door suddenly opens, and also when Alexei says the helicopter has enough fuel and then it suddenly falls down (although that looked a bit awkward). Secondly the actors are really great. I really like the way they act, it almost feels natural. And finally this is the only film MCU has given which doesn't have CGI. It does have VFX, but that makes sense since there's a pandemic going on and shooting in exotic locations doesn't make sense right now.
With all that said, let's move on to the negative aspects. Over here MCU finally does blasphemy. Read this carefully, word by word - "They show Black Widow get beaten". First by Taskmaster, from whom she still manages to save herself using a shield, then from Yelena whom she beats up nicely, then from Dreykov whom she beats again and then from the other widows who, well, let's get real. She can't beat them because they are girls. This is the rule of every action film, right? Speaking of the widows, there are some widows who appear in front of the camera way more than the others. This really begs the question as to why it is happening. It almost feels like they have paid the director to give them more attention.
The cinematography of this film is also terrible. There is no artificial lighting because of which all the lighting on screen is coming out naturally. The only time any colour grading is used is when the flashback is shown where Natasha blows Dreykov's daughter's school. The characters are always standing in the wrong place of the screen, which ruins the whole photography look to it. Normally if you are ever shown to come on the screen, if you're facing left you should be on the right side of the screen and vice versa. Even the shots of exotic locations look like they have been taken by a middle aged mom. In the climax scene when Natasha says, "Don't do it!" and Yelena says, "It was fun!" before thrusting the stick in the propeller, her head is in the bottom half of the screen and even the green screening can be seen in the background!
There are also multiple jump cuts in every entertaining scene. This is the reason why I won't even call this film entertaining. There are many examples that I noted down while watching the film. When Natasha's Lada explodes on the bridge, just showing the car explode takes 10 shots. The scene where their car goes in the subway is done in 9 shots. The part where Yelena gets out of the operation theatre while talking to Melina takes 18 shots. Also every indoor shot was taken from the bottom angle, because of which there were many butt shots. And here we were laughing at Batman and Robin for having three such shots.
The music is also terrible. Most of the time the music is very slow in comparison to the movement which is happening on the screen. There is also too much talking in this film. Because of a number of reasons like too quick jump cuts, natural lighting and wrong background score they didn't deliver the impact that they were probably supposed to.
Natasha's childhood version looks just like her but Yelena's doesn't. Dreykov can't be killed by a widow who can smell her, but Natasha won't even try moving away from him till she can't smell him and then shoot him? Since the story is set between Civil War and Infinity War, Natasha should have looked like she is between the two ages. But she looks way older, and that's a shame considering de-aging characters was done so well in Star Wars sequels. When Natasha and Yelena steal a bike, Taskmaster suddenly stops her tank in front of them, and waits for them to start driving away before chasing them. Why didn't she just crush them when she had a chance?
Speaking of the Taskmaster, when she removes her mask and is shown to be Dreykov's daughter, she looks so fake! Her neck is too long and her head is too forward, which doesn't make the head's shape to be like it will fit in the helmet. And speaking of characters who make no sense, there's Red Guardian. In the Gulag which is in remote Siberia, everyone is speaking in English? He is constantly talking about having a rivalry with Captain America, but that part is never explained. Unless there was another Captain America meanwhile, there is no way we aren't confused. And if that happens MCU will have a lot to answer for, considering it has not spoken about a Captain America having been there since then.
Black Widow is like a black sheep in the MCU. The problem with this film is that it has come out way too late. It feels like it was made only as a filler, so that they can grab some quick cash on a character who has been established for over 10 years. The film only adds lore to Black Widow and then goes nowhere with it. It doesn't have anything in it that you'd want to see.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is apparently estimated this film had a big budget . 100+ millions of dollars and even more perhaps .

Considering this film got delayed , the biggest and most noticeable flaws was the effects in the film .

When the villan dies in the helicopter , the flames that consume him look like something out of a cheap budget indie film . There are MULTIPLE other moments where this lackluster effects appear . Considering again when you realize how they had time to work on these effects since it was delayed and also how big their budget was , this was very poorly done .

Taskmaster was the only fun thing in the entire film but there was very little action scenes regarding Taskmaster . And regarding action , there is a LOT of talking considering this is advertised as an action film .

The talking is boring and a drag . Natasha reunites with her not so real parents and it just keeps dragging on and on . Understandably this is an important part of the story but the way it was executed was tedious and a boring talk at the table .

The 'twist' where Black Widow was able to sneak in was 'ok.' Nothing special . The part where Black Widow saves Yelena Belova had great effects and action . In general this movie fails in 'execution.'

Everybody, actors, writers etc, phoned it in... Pure amateur hour. The only good part is the final act which is where all the budget went...
I really wish this wasn't the case as I was really looking forward to Black Widow's solo movie. A surprising failure.

Overindulgent mess. You'd think that a marvel movie with one of the original cast members would be an instant win, right?
This is exactly the problem, it's ONLY one of the original cast. There's a few more actors worth mentioning but they don't have the talent or experience to change what is at it's very core a flawed project.
SH does a great job as only a seasoned actor can, and the other actors do their best in a **** situation but you can't make gold out of lead.
I just can't help but feel that with a better director and substantially better writers (maybe even some random hobos from the streets in their place) we could have easily gotten a much better movie.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Positiv zu vermerken ist, das endlich wieder etwas aus dem MCU (bzw.M-She-U) kommt und es ein Wiedersehen mit “der” Black Widow gibt. Negativ zu vermerken ist alles andere CGI,Handlung,Logiklücken,Charaktere und ihre saublöden handlungen. Beispiele wären das erste Treffen der Schwestern , Sie schickt Natasha das gegenmittel um es in Sicherheit zu bringen und versucht dann beim ersten Treffen sie umzubringen…...total Logisch. Witzigerweise wissen die bösen auch immer wo unsere Hauptdarsteller gerade sind, selbst mitten in der Pampa zum Benzin holen. Das zieht sich durch den ganzen Film.
Red Guardian wird als völlig unbrauchbarer,permanent Blödsinn erzählenter, Idiot dargestellt, bei ihm schlägt die Woke Keule voll zu. Apropo Woke Keule ,dieses trifft auf den Bösewicht noch mehr zu, während in den Filmen immer der Bösewicht die Handlung mit vorantreibt (Thanos,Loki,Ultron,Hela,Mandarin/Killian,Red Skull,Winter Soldier,Whiplash,Yellowjacket) wird hier der Bösewicht zu einer unwichtigen stereotypischen mini Gastrolle verdonnert (alter,böser ,gewissenloser,weißer Mann). Zum Glück taucht er aber auch nur Kurz im “Finale” auf. Und seine Waffe gegen Natasha ist sein…..aufpassen...dramatische pause für diesen Geniestreich…. Körpergeruch….lol!!!!!
Das kein Gastauftritt ,anderer Avenger ,stattgefunden hat geht wohl auch auf’s Woke konto.
Trauriges Fazit:Übrig geblieben sind 133 Min. Zeitverschwendung und ein Avenger dem ich einen um längen besseren Abschiedsfilm gekönnt hätte.

The MCUBlack Widow (2021) Just finished it. It is everything wrong with the MCU... long, boring, sanitised, with good action sequences that are also ultimately boring as people can not even get a scratch yet alone have any kind of setback. The MCU is like a paint by numbers colouring book. It is so formulaic that there is no room for it to breath and this film is so bogged down that the story dose not even really start for like an hour into it and by then I could give a toss. This is why Guardians and Thor 3 stood out so much, as like them or hate them, they were legitimate films with their own style. This is pretty much identical to Falcon and the Winter soldier TV show. I could probably make a fun cut for youtube of the two and no one would even notice when it was the lame tv show or the lame film. I like my movies a little more raw, more dangerous. I do not want my anti-hero to steal a car in the middle of a chance and then have a conversation about how stealing cars is not something you can just do. Also the end credit scene is a advertisement for the Hawkeye TV Show.. this is a good example of how far the MCU has fallen.

Verdict : A Long boring film with well done action sequences that are ultimately boring as well, with some decent jokes. This is easily in the bottom of the barrel for the MCU, not fighting for worst, but maybe for a spot somewhere in the bottom 8.

There was fun and jokes alright but the movie wasn't a comedy. First, the actors were almost like reading the scripts - there was no flow whatsoever. The songs picked like "smells like teen spirit" instead of making a cool original theme based on how much these people use for making a movie was mediocre. Some characters based in the comic were just made to fill the blanks. Actions scenes - even though they were merely humans - using pistols and knives was managed in excess by software. However, the hand to hand combat done was espectacular - As well as the explosions and costumes.
One of the key features of a movie is an ending which this movie didn't got properly which led me to finally review this much aside the **** dialog. Wish they could've made the effort of using more flow and direction basics.

Edit: aah, thank you for the "0 of 9 users found this helpful" votes. It's not like this website has become infected with "affiliate voters", is it? (LOL) Anyway, here it goes, enjoy.
----

You know the drill: all men are evil, except for the few good ones - they are immature or even buffoons instead - and that's the only thing I have to say about the male characters. The plot: Widows are female secret agents and are evil. Turns out they're evil because they are mind-controlled. The mission: bring vials of an antidote against this mind-control.

To avoid any misunderstanding, this movie tells you right from the bat what it aims to achieve via interpretative visuals: opening scenes with a gender-confused blue haired teen girl/boy/Q+.

Before we get to the end scenes, we are firstly treated with cringe conversations, to be followed by an utterly irrelevant mid-phase.

After many standard fighting scenes (with lots of cuts and camera shakes because nobody has skills) we finally end up at the lair of the evil male Dreykov. Dreykov uses the source this planet has too much of according to him: women. The overlords behind the woke culture want you to know that men have no respect for women.

Lacking also was the Black Widow's exposure of her time when she was operational as a Widow. Her training, her missions, her place in the world, you'll get nothing. Also the dialogs were way too long as they dragged on even when an issue has been resolved already.

Bottom line, this movie was boring for most of the time.

I was surprised that ScarJo didn't carry the scenes well. Her face wasn't stating 'I got this'. The end result is that she was sidelined in her own story; Not only because of her mediocre acting, but also because the executives did not flesh out her character. She, in fact, was overshadowed by other characters in this flick.

This movie is one big lie; Taskmaster - a woman here - was played almost entirely by a male stuntman named Andy Lister. Nor did Olga Kurylenko really appear in this movie; Her head was digitally inserted when she briefly took her mask off. On Social media she complained that the suit was too heavy.

The only good thing I have to say is "Florence Pugh". She had a cute role - bit of a wacky Widow - and did a good job adding humor to the movie.

A few positives and so many negatives. Yet here's one more negative: the special effects were badly done as well. We have people jumping in front of what is obviously a green screen. It saddens me that the masses keep funding this political and lazy rubbish by paying for it.

I give it two stars because of high quality production and miss Pugh. The boredom, political messaging, unconvincing and sidelined ScarJo, bad jokes, thin story, uninspiring action really add up in a bad way.

I was so excited, thinking... cool, finally a great popcorn action movie in theatres. As the movie progressed, it maintained a solid, feel-good vibe until it reach the middle. Half way through, this movie falls off a cliff. It bogs itself down with senseless silly dialogue that NO ONE cares about. You know... where the movie tries to be funny and witty and silly... it tries so hard that it's annoying. But, I thought, well, a minor detour can't be too bad, except this detour never returns to the action seriousness and fun of the beginning. Instead it turns into a silly soap opera or crap you'd see on Sabrina The Teenage Witch. I liked Sabrina... it doesn't and didn't work here. I struggled to stay to the end of this abomination. Waste of time and money. Expand

Black Widow attempts the regular MCU comedy but it falls flat. Not a single laugh, chuckle or even a small exhale through the nose. Taskmaster was one of my most anticipated characters but is performed awfully. I always try to find the good in a movie but there is nothing here. The CGI and action are both embarrassing. Two things Marvel always is at least decent at. If I wasn't at the theatre with other people, I would have walked out. Expand
