The tape was pursued by a very difficult fate, whose release was postponed repeatedly due to the Coronavirus"Black Widow" is one of the most anticipated films of the studio among fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in recent times. The tape was pursued by a very difficult fate, whose release was postponed repeatedly due to the Coronavirus pandemic. And now, almost a year and a half after the publication of the first trailer, the solo picture about the Avenger Natasha Romanoff has finally reached cinemas. Regular viewers of the franchise have not seen a superhero movie on the big screen from Marvel Studios and producer Kevin Feige for two whole years since the summer premiere of "Far from Home". That's why everyone had huge hopes for "The Widow": firstly, this is a film that fans have been asking for for more than one year, and secondly, some people still managed to miss such entertainment on the big screen pretty much.

The story of the formation of the Black Widow as a superhero has always remained in the background, and therefore, within the film universe, viewers have very little information about what kind of person Natasha was, who went from a sex symbol of the Avengers to a full-fledged multi-faceted hero who sacrificed himself to save the Universe in the "Finale". And therefore, a separate film about a Widow does not need to show this very becoming of a hero – Natasha is already a hero. A hero about whom little is known. Her past literally consists of only bits of information, rather than a full-fledged prehistory. What was her childhood like? What is the red room and what happened in Budapest, which the heroine repeatedly recalled with a Hawk's eye? "Black Widow" is a movie about this, with its super task putting the disclosure of the human side of the character in the first place, opening the curtain of secrets.

However, "Black Widow" is written and staged so tasteless that it is simply boring to follow the story of Natasha. The main problem of the tape is that it almost does not reveal its central character in any way. The audience is introduced to Natasha's fake parents, with her sister Elena performed by the charming Florence Pugh, but they are all so cardboard and template dummies of the second plan with a weak disclosure that they, as full-fledged characters, do not cling in any way. The main charm of the characters is the actors who play them. That Rachel Weisz in the role of Natasha's spiritual mother, that David Harbour in the image of a super soldier a la the Soviet answer to Captain America are incomparable. It is impossible to tear your eyes away from them or from their acting. I really want to know their history, but the film, alas, does not even try to clearly reveal them, leaving the viewer with a heap of questions after viewing.

If we remove Weiss, Harbor and Pugh from the film and look at their characters exclusively from a scenario point of view, they will not be able to please with anything. "The Widow" exists exclusively within the framework of spy cliches, resembling a very unsuccessful parody of the best tapes about Jason Bourne, rather than an independent picture. At the same time, it would be fine if the tape about Natasha was just a template spy thriller, of which the audience already has a car and a small cart without it, so even within the framework of the cliche film "The Widow" does not work in any way. This is especially true for the main antagonist, who simply wants to capture and control the whole world in order to… To take over and control the whole world? This is the only exposure for the villain that the film gives. He just needs to be angry, because it's necessary.


"Black Widow" does not have enough fire in its eyes – this is too studio-like a film even for Marvel Studios, not trying to portray at least something spectacular. Perhaps the problem lies in the director Kate Shortland, who failed to cope with her tasks, as a result of which the tape can not be compared with the same "Other War" of the Russo brothers, but it is impossible to put these pictures in one row – they exist as if in two completely different film universes. There is no clear answer why this happened. As well as the answer to the question, why is this film needed at all? Does he give answers to fans ' questions? Yes, he does, but it would be better if he kept silent than gave such ridiculous answers. Fans have long wanted to find out what happened in Budapest and the answer to the manner: "nothing – they are clearly not satisfied. It was as if Marvel offered its audience one long-running joke without a punchline, instead of a picture about the Black Widow.… Expand

Black Widow is like unfulfilled promise.
After great beginning it changes into typical blockbuster with giant blow out in third act.
Decent MCU flick, nothing to remember, nothing important - ok.

Nevertheless, it is here andI think Kevin Feige is an amazing producer, but I always felt it was so dumb that it took so long for Black Widow to have her film. What is more jarring that this came out after Endgame which concluded her story. Nevertheless, it is here and I was still kind of hype for it despite it all. So is this another MCU hit or a miss?

Firstly, the supporting cast is all stellar. David Harbour as Red Guardian was hilarious and he was incredibly charming even if his character was kind of an ass. Rachel Weisz was also great as Melina, the fake mother of Natasha, as she gives a performance that conveys the conflict her character is going through yet also being quite lovable. Florence Pugh as Yelena, Natasha's sister, is the true stand out in this film. Her performance is so charismatic and charming while also being a proper badass. Her character has the most vulnerability compared to everyone else and Florence's shows this by really delivering on the emotional performance. She also has great chemistry with Scarlett Johansson so the interaction between Yelena and Natasha are some of the biggest highlights of Black Widow. Scarlett is also still phenomenal as Natasha and she still delivers here as well. We get to see more emotion from her character which allows Scarlett to do a lot more and shine in these scenes. The music score is composed by legendary composer Lorne Balfe and he continues to make another amazing score for Black Widow. Every action scene feels more hype whenever his score is being blasted and it's just awesome. The emotional scenes become more emotional and the tense scenes become more tense thanks to his score. I also really love the action scenes, for the most part. The hand-to-hand fights felt gritty and brutal which made it very entertaining to watch. There is also a pretty cool car chase and a fight where Black Widow has to fight countless other Red Room assassins which were very enjoyable as well. However, the story is quite a mixed bag for me thanks to how it is executed. The movie does a lot of telling of her past rather than showing which is kind of disappointing. I think seeing the red ledger stuff she did as a Red Room assassin would've given the ending more impact. Additionally, Black Widow explores the theme of family but handles it quite poorly. Natasha confronting her fake family is emotional stuff and the movie does show it but it would then deflect it with a silly joke which did get annoying. This is terrible when it came to the dad, Red Guardian. The movie treats him like a joke even though he did an incredibly terrible thing that caused his fake daughters to dislike him. There is a moment where he does start trying to repair his relationship with his daughters which was very sweet but the story doesn't stay long enough on this. He also doesn't get a moment to show how much he cares for his daughter which disappointed me. I did have my issue with how jokes are used in MCU movies but I think it is more annoying here than it is in previous MCU movies. The story is also very low stakes and because of Endgame, there doesn't feel like there is much danger to our main characters.

The action scenes near the end are quite disappointing as well. There is a fight between the Red Guardian and Taskmaster which sounds on paper cool as both have some kind of superpower. However, the editing had lots of cuts with also constantly cutting away to something else which made it jarring. Additionally, Red Guardian, despite having super strength, never gets to show this in the fight. There is also a final fight between Black Widow and Taskmaster at the end which is mostly a CGI fest but is also incredibly short as well. It was a disappointing final fight for sure. On that note, the villains in Black Widow are also very disappointing. Dreykov, the leader of the Red Room, doesn't even have much of a presence on the plot until 40 minutes in. Even when they start appearing, they still have no presence as the plot is more focused on getting the family together than villains doing something. Taskmaster may be the most disappointing villain in MCU history. They are such a deviation from the comic as Taskmaster never speaks ever. There is also a reveal about Taskmaster that is just lame. Overall, Black Widow is a movie I feel so incredibly conflicted about. The story and villains are quite poor but there are moments in it that are very good. The characters and performances by actors are all great but some characters don't get enough to shine. The action scenes are entertaining but it does stumble near the end. Black Widow is a movie with a lot of good that contains some bumps throughout. In the end, I am glad it finally came out and I enjoyed watching it even though it does feel a bit too late.… Expand

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.… Expand

To be completely honest I was excited at first at the prospect of delving deeper into the origins of Black Widow. As a fan of the MCU, however, I was thoroughly unimpressed. The movie struggled for many reasons, not the least of which was the acting. Even Florence Pugh, who has proven to be a phenomenal young actress, was at least in this instance bad. I don't think any of the characters were able to keep their accents consistent throughout the course of the movie. On top of that this movie suffered from the same disease that any "prequel" has to manage. This disease being that there aren't really any stakes when it comes to the outcome of the main character. We essentially already know her future. We know that she isn't going to die and that no serious harm is going to become her seeing as she is doing just fine in the next film chronologically. I guess the only real question this film answers in regards to Black Widow is how did she dye her hair before Infinity War.… Expand

More like Black Widow Presents: Florence Pugh’s character.

So, after a long break of Marvel movies, with 2020 having zero Marvel properties, due to the on-going pandemic. I believe the last time we had no Marvel movies was back in 2009, but without the modern plague. It was a nice break from things and smaller movies got more of the spotlight. But now after things have calmed down a bit, Marvel felt confident to finally release ‘Black Widow’, the long waited solo movie that fans wanted since her first appearance in ‘Iron Man 2’, the fan favourite, Natasha Romanoff. Now we finally got it, and the results are...very uneven.

This movie came out way too late. It should’ve been released immediately after ‘Winter Soldier’ or ‘Civil War’, either of the Captain America movies. The long wait for this movie is questionable at best, since we got two Ant-Man movies instead of something that people wanted.

Although, I’ve got to say, the opening credits with the cover song of ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’, originally sung by Kurt Cobain, playing over this chilling imagery of children being trafficked into trained assassins, which sets up a dark tone that I didn’t expect from Marvel, and it immediately got my attention. The opening credits was easily the best part of the movie, but unfortunately the rest of the movie didn’t match that tone, as it got too comical at some points and gradually fell off.

For over 11 years, we were blessed by Scarlett Johansson’s portrayal of the title character and it’s sad we have to say goodbye to her once again. Johansson herself fully commits to the role once again, even though I thought she was the least interesting part of the movie. She honestly felt like a side character than anything else, which sucks because this is supposed to be her movie.

With this movie being a prequel before the events of ‘Infinity War’ and ‘Endgame’, you know Black Widow herself is most likely going to survive the movie, but that doesn’t mean she can’t get hurt, right? Well in this movie for whatever reason she’s completely invincible and barley gets a scratch on her. There’s a handful of moments where she falls from a great distance only to land safely to the ground, which was too unbelievable to not at least suffer a bruise or a cut or any type of injury. She’s not even superhuman or anything. I guess Marvel characters are like cats with nine lives.

One of the comedic reliefs of the movie is David Harbour, who’s entertaining as the Red Guardian. Rachel Weisz is also there and she’s fine. But still, I thought Harbour and Weisz Russian accents were all over the place at certain times. However, it’s nowhere near as bad as Ray Winstone’s, aka the most British man ever, who doesn’t even try at all. And I can’t shake off that Winstone kind of looks like Martin Scorsese (thanks a lot Red Letter Media).

On the other hand, the best character and actor in the entire movie belongs to Florence Pugh, pew pew pew. This shouldn’t be a shocker to anyone if you have been following her recent winning streak. While her Russian accent isn’t what I call great, but it sounded better on her since she already has a deep husky voice that suits the accent better.

Everything on a technical standpoint is always good in these movies, expect for the action scenes which I found to be disappointing, as there was nothing memorable or exciting about any of it.

The final act is where things completely went off the rails and the CGI fight scenes looked bad. The visual effects during the final battle looked like one of those "director's cut" where they never finished the scene for the theatrical release but wanted to include it on the disc for completeness.

Oh, about the shocking reveal of Taskmaster, I really didn’t care. I guess we must wait a few years for the real Taskmaster, like the Mandarin in ‘Iron Man 3’.
Also, I feel like this movie should’ve focused more on Natasha's "family" backstory, because I think that would have been more interesting, but even with the 2-hour runtime, it felt rushed somehow. Marvel has been doing this for years now, but here I found the humour incredibly distracting and took away a lot of the serious scenes that could have had potential of being hard hitting. I just wish they let some of the tension or seriousness be exactly that, instead of throwing in a cheap joke to deflate the weight of the scene.

Marvel Studios seriously needs to shake up the formula a bit, because I’m starting to lose the will to live with these movies. Please, no more “grounded, concrete looking, superhero movies”, cause it’s getting so boring.

I'm sorry for coming across as negative, but the more I write the more negative I become towards the movie, as I can’t hide my disappointment and frustration.

Overall rating: Natasha deserves better.… Expand

Because it wouldn't have been a hit at the theatres. Somehow, Black Widow seems to be tailor made for the small screen as it's small on ideas, scope and story, there's also little action. The character themselves seemed ridiculous with their crazy Russian accents... Task Master was a colossal waste of space, relegated to a miniscule bit part.
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.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. E-Value: 8
Acting: 8
Plot: 8

After being delayed thrice due to COVID-19 pandemic which forced theatres around the world to close for a while, the twenty-fourth instalment in Marvel Cinematic Universe finally arrived in the big screen while the movie is also available in Disney+ for a premium fee at the same time.

Due to her betrayal in Captain America: Civil War, Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow (Johansson) became a fugitive and is currently on the run from US Secretary of State, Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross. Elsewhere, another Black Widow, Yelena Belova (Pugh), is on the mission to assassinate a rogue and former Black Widow, whom she manage to free Yelena from mind control using an antidote vial which contain synthetic gas at the cost of her own life. Freed from mind control, Yelena sends the antidote vials to Natasha at her safehouse in Norway hoping she would help.

With the vials under the possession of Natasha, she is attack by a mysterious assassin called Taskmaster (played by Olga Kurylenko), who is coming for the vials. She fights off Taskmaster and escape with the vials. She reunite with Yelena in a safehouse in Budapest, Hungary where she learn that the Red Room led by General Dreykov (played by Ray Winstone) is still active. Working together, Natasha and Yelena break their adoptive father, Alexei Shostakov/Red Guardian (Harbour), out of prison in order find out Dreykov’s location so they can put an end to the Red Room once and for all.

After going through 2020 without any MCU movies, it is really good to be back watching Marvel movie once again. This movie is not exactly an origin story of Black Widow like 2008’s Iron Man but the writing in this movie did a good job in expanding Black Widow’s past after many hints in the previous movies. For example, we finally get to know what happened in Budapest after it was first mentioned in 2012’s The Avengers and the origins of the Red Room after being mentioned in 2015’s Avengers: Age of Ultron. In addition, the movie ties up all loose end on Black Widow and connects very well to 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War.

The fighting scenes are very well executed which kind of reminds me of 2014’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier and other action thriller movies such as The Bourne series. The performance of the cast have done very well in their acting. Scarlett Johansson and Florence Pugh have done a great job in their acting. David Harbour deserved a praise too as he not only played the role of Red Guardian well, he also have done a great job in providing comic relief moments in the movie. Ray Winstone and Olga Kurylenko also done a decent performance but I felt their characters are not well developed. I felt Ray’s character is more of a generic Russian villain you watched in other Hollywood movies while Olga did not have much screentime as Taskmaster, who is a well known villain in the comics. Taskmaster shows up in the first and third act but disappeared during the middle of the second act. Other than that, the character is more depicted as a generic henchman.

Nevertheless, Black Widow is still a good movie despite the flaws. If you have missed watching Marvel movies, this is first Marvel movie you definitely want to watch in 2021. Not only that, this movie may be Scarlett Johansson’s final role as Black Widow (her character died in 2019’s Avengers: Endgame) which is another reason why you should watch this movie. Don’t forget to stay back for post credits scene as this scene sets up a future movie or TV series.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie was absolutely fantastic! I don’t understand why a lot of people are turning it down so much. Sure we got Scarlett Johanssons standalone film after her character had died, but it’s a prequel movie that delves deep into her past. And sure I can agree that may be some of the humor was overplayed but that won’t stop me from giving it a 10. The thing that’s so great about this movie is the characters that are introduced, such as Florence pughs Yelena. She completely carries the movie it is an absolute amazing addition to the MCU. I cannot wait to see what she does in the Hawkeye series! David and Rachel are amazing too and hope they will return as well. The other thing that’s great is that they touch on so many issues with men overpowering women and making them feel like objects. The movie is literally about chemically altering girls around the world and using them for Dreykovs own purposes. At the end of the film, all the windows are free and have the chance to make their own choices. Another great thing was the taskmaster twist. It was a twist that I did not see coming at all. Having it be Dreykovs daughter was the perfect way for Natasha‘s past to really come back and haunt her so that she could challenge it and make up for her mistakes. And for anyone who is deeply upset by this, the MCU is not an actual comic book roller coaster, they are adaptations from the comics and grow into their own organic substance. But there are even reports that the taskmaster will return it in more common accurate forms so that will be fun to see! Scarlett Johansson really pushes herself in this movie. She gives the audience one last blockbuster film with her as the fantastic black widow. Of course we all knew that she was going to die in avengers endgame, but in the third act when the red room falls from the sky, it takes me out of the knowledge I already know and puts me on the edge of my seat wondering if she or the other characters would survive. And for anyone who said that the third act it’s just a CGI mess and that it’s rushed, they are absolutely insane and should get checked out by a mental health doctor. The twists were fantastic and the action was fantastic and everything else about it was fantastic! So think about judging a movie by its flaws before realizing the greater goodness that surrounds the whole production.… Expand

However, there were few flaws in the movies...we didn't get enough of the Taskmaster, where she was sort of a puppet than a Villain.

I would like to say right away that this film was supposed to be released in 2017, because after what happened in "Avengers: Endgame", the drama does not affect the viewer.

The film begins with a tense act 1 and it seems that the atmosphereI would like to say right away that this film was supposed to be released in 2017, because after what happened in "Avengers: Endgame", the drama does not affect the viewer.

The film begins with a tense act 1 and it seems that the atmosphere will be in the same direction for all 2 hours, but something went wrong.

Natasha is on the run after the events of "Civil war" and is constantly in contact with some guy who throughout the film gets Romanoff everything she needs. Who is he? Where is he from? Where does it take everything? There will be no answer to all these questions. The character just exists to simply move the plot further.

One of the villains, nicknamed Taskmaster, is a walking disgrace. There was nothing left of the comic canon, where he had a phenomenal memory and could copy the enemy's fighting styles, which made him practically invincible. For all the time, he had 3-4 action scenes that are not even remembered. The twist with the disclosure of the identity is absolutely empty. It does not cause any emotions, except for hitting the palm of your hand on your face.

The main villain of the Drakov... This is one of the worst and most cliched villains of MCU. He doesn't have any motivation. He's angry because he's angry. Even 15 years ago, it would have been a shame to show such a level of a villain, since such films as "Spider-Man 1-2" and "Batman: The Begins"were already released.

Well, small moments:

You can forget about the situation in Budapest with Barton and put, of course, not in the same row, but next to the eye of Fury, Ralph Boner and Mandarin.

The graphics are also sagging in places. You can see how 3D models and scenes shot on a green background are drawn.

There are a few more bad moments, but they cannot be described without spoilers.

Of the advantages, only the intro at the beginning of the film, Elena Belova and the scene after the credits. The Red Guardian is a good character in itself, but it is not remembered in any way, except for the scene with pulling on the costume.… Expand

The characters are neatly done and stays as the USP throughout. The experience would have been even greater, if the last act wasn't riddled with messy sequences.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Black Widow isn’t the worst standalone feature Marvel Studios has ever made, but it isn’t the best, either. The cast and chemistry is what works best about the film. David Harbour and Florence Pugh are the highlights of the movie for me as they inject some really nice humor and play off of Scarlett Johansson very well. The chemistry between Natasha and Yelena carries a lot of scenes in this movie that would’ve felt weird and awkward otherwise, and I can’t wait to see Florence be Yelena again in future installments. The family dynamic is where this movie shines and has its biggest emotional impacts. The action and fight sequences are good for the most part and meet the standards set by other MCU installments, but they aren’t anything special and remain fairly consistent with MCU formula. The story and script are decent, but there are other directions they could’ve been taken both in that might’ve worked better for the movie. I was hoping this movie would give General Ross a bit more screen time and focus more on him chasing Natasha, which would’ve worked in more with the ending of Civil War and Natasha’s story between Civil War and Infinity War. The Red Room feels a bit underexplored in this film and there are core themes that could’ve used more development to give the movie more emotional and real-world impact. The villain is also nothing special; while Taskmaster does have a twist that caught me off guard, overall Taskmaster is a bit of an underwhelming villain and doesn’t seem to pose too much of a threat to our heroes or raise the stakes very high. In addition to General Ross feeling underutilized, Clint Barton feels like a missed opportunity. I was hoping he’d have a bigger role in this film, and that simply doesn’t happen which is unfortunate because he and Natasha have a very close bond in the MCU. I’m also very curious to know what Natasha said to Ross that stopped her from being thrown in jail, as that feels like a plot hole to me that needed to be explained. While Black Widow does have some redeeming qualities, it’s a bit of a letdown considering how long we had to wait for it and doesn’t live up to the standards set by other MCU movies.… Expand

PRO: - one of the best incipits and first parts of the whole MCU; - in-depth insight into the character of Natasha and the narrative strand connected to her: huge pity not to have developed it before (notReview in pills - Black Widow

PRO:
- one of the best incipits and first parts of the whole MCU;
- in-depth insight into the character of Natasha and the narrative strand connected to her: huge pity not to have developed it before (not necessarily with a film, but through a TV series) because the whole story of espionage and her pre-Avengers would have had a enormous potential (so much so that it can create a separate narrative arc connected, but not focused on superheroes);
- photography and visual look: good;
- movie that entertains: it does better than many other MCU movies;
- first small reference of a link with the series: post-credit scene that binds to Falcon & the Winter Soldier.

CONS:
- drop in the second and third part: apparently repetitive in the mechanics;
- CGI not always constant;
-black widow too over power: very often (maybe too much) it seems that Natasha does and survives almost as if she had taken the super soldier serum;
- role of Taskmaster: different from the original (ok no problem, common practice), but although there is, I did not find him/her so incisive in the story and in the character (especially after being presented as the villain of the film);
- Taskmaster stunt: in several scenes you would notice the change of physicality and person between the stunt (a man - Andrew "Andy" Lister) and the actress who would give the face and body in some scenes to the character (Olga Kurylenko).

VOTE:
6.5
Although appreciated more than many other MCU films due to constant postponements, the film seemed old compared to the phase and type of storytelling Marvel would be in (as the same would seem from the trailers for the Shang-Chi film (happy to wrong)) and this would inevitably lead to a low level of interest in the film.… Expand

There were a few ridiculous things in this movie that I did not like, such as the revelation of who Taskmaster was (and the character design), plus the emasculation of Red Guardian, but overall, it was a highly entertaining flick, and you could connect with the two leads (ScarJo & Pugh).

It was fun and I enjoyed it. You ignore the bad and take it for what it is (a Superhero/action movie) and you'll enjoy it. It was certainly far better than Captain Marvel.

It does not deserve as much hate as it's gotten in some circles, and actually the user reviews appear to reflect that.… Expand

The narrative is solidly constructed, with decently affecting emotionality and some engaging elements of moral intrigue layered throughout. The performances vary from generally convincing to downright scene-stealing, with Florence Pugh and David Harbour representing the film's two main standouts. Even the action and set pieces are enthrallingly well-put-together. So, tell me - where the hell was this movie five, even ten years ago? Why now? After what we already know happens to the central character in question, why have a solo outing *now*? Would have almost stung less if this movie were just downright bad. At least at that point the whole idea of a solo Black Widow movie would seem to have been a bust. But, no. This is actually solid in every department except the intangible ones. The meaning behind any of what you're seeing on screen is simply all over the place. It's a damn shame, but an entertaining one, to be sure.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really enjoyed seeing Natasha Romanoff again. The film just throws around with action, but also knows how to allow for quieter moments. So I felt this "family" constellation really strong. In particular, the father (David Harbor) was able to cause some laughs. The repeated references to the Avengers were very amusing. Florence Pugh also plays a good role here, and in general I really liked it as an actor.

All of this about Natasha's past was interesting and the station at the end was very impressive. In general, the film has quite a few changes of scenery and never gets boring. I have to say, however, that the action was way too exaggerated at times. "Way over the top". I also have to criticize the intro, it was just too long and a very annoying introduction to a film (I've hardly seen it like this before).

The film asks a few questions or doesn't really answer them. I wanted a bit more content.

The film reminded me of Mission: Impossible and I found it really good in its last offshoot. Black Widow 7/10 spiders.
I like e.g. better than the Captain Marvel movie.… Expand

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!… Expand

Really enjoyed Black Widow, an entertaining blend of superhero and spy action. The Red Guardian and Yelena are great additions to the universe, and I looked forward to seeing both of them in future properties.

The story sadly, is very derivative from the Winter soldier to some degrees. And there are a lot of illogical/difficult to believe moments in it (even for a superhero flick). The acting is really good. Scarlett is convincing, and the secondary actors are solid. The action scenes are fun to watch, but not always logical in terms of physic. The CGI are great but there are 3-4 moments of so, so compositing. The music was decent enough. I dislike the fact that all the males seemed to be stupid or fools in this movie. Like I said weak scenario and almost aim to please some particular crowds. I give it 68%. BW should have been made way before today. It would probably had a better story that this. But at least Scarlett had the chance to have her hero movie.… Expand

There are lots of neat costuming details (differing amounts of braids vrs "ties" to the family) and the action was well paced. It put some much needed perspective on Black Widow's character, and having her as an overprotective, overburdened, eldest sibling makes alot of her other appearances across the MCU make more sense (as opposed to the generic female death machine she seemed like before).… Expand

Just don’t pay forI try not to comment on these things when leaving a user review, but I’m blown away by the amount of people complaining that a day one theatrical release is available to them in the convenience of their own home for $30. Just don’t pay for it. Wait for it to be available at no extra cost in October with the subscription to Disney+. My god I’m lucky if $30 is the total cost for going to a movie theater and heaven forbid I take someone with me and get snacks. To my knowledge after you “unlock” the movie you now also have it as long as you have the service. Plus you can pause or rewind for any reason at any time. Try doing that a a theater. Now that that’s out of the way I enjoyed this movie, but with everything that “technically” should have come out after it was intended to release: Wanda Vision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki, this fell a little short with pacing and story development for me. I loved her back story. I loved the “family” aspect of this, but it does feel a little late to the party with so much rich connected content coming out episodically on Disney+. There were some weird plot points that took me out of deeply enjoying this, but the acting and the actors themselves are just great. Without a doubt Red Guardian is now my favorite character in the entire MCU. David Harbour was perfect. Rachel Weisz is excellent and the rest of the cast shines including Johansson who’s portrayal of Black Widow has been somewhat dull until now. I’m not saying that’s isn’t because they didn’t give her a lot to work with in previous films, but I actually felt like there was a well rounded character being developed on screen. If you’ve seen the rest in the franchise I don’t hesitate to recommend you checking it out at your convenience. Anyone who isn’t interested in the massively expanding MCU should wait.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. From the first 5 mins I knew this movie was going to be trash: seeing A blue haired child intentionally made-up to be gender ambiguous. The worst retcon of an iconic Marvel villain's origin in the history of the MCU. To the point where reparations to George Perez and David Michelinie might be on the table. Florence Pugh & Rachel Weisz were great but at this point its like sprinkling decadent cheese on a lasagna made from rotting meat. CGI was ghastly to look at. Especially in the last 20 mins. The only reason this film doesn't get a 0 is because it has some good messages about dysfunctional families sticking together.… Expand

It has some amazing picture and scene work. The beginning about the family in an oldschool fashion was so great and beautiful, it really touched me deep. I liked how they showed them as characters there, in the beginning.

The music and sound is just also superb.

Acting. I'd say that Ray Winstone and David Harbour just carried this movie. Johansson looked kinda disturbing here...maybe that's just her character, I don't know...

But there goes the bad part.

And it's literally almost everything.

The story itself is just so...stupid?? Like, there were so many widows all along and we never heard of it? Really? Or what about Red Guardian? Oh come on... The fights where every enemy is modestly standing in line and waiting for his turn to attack the main Hero...I thought Marvel were better than that!

The whole movie looked too exaggerated, where Marvel did all the best to make the scenes as IMPOSSIBLY EPIC as possible, and it didn't look good...

And of course, the last but not the least...
Women are righteous and almighty gods, while men are worthless weak and stupid junk...that's the message? This is getting out of hand, and is somehow looking like a propaganda now...more than a movie based on comics. This forced agenda is so irritating, and I'd really be happy if I could just enjoy a great Marvel action...rather than this politics...
What's funny, is that DC already got hurt because of such agenda in their "Birds of Prey", but Marvel somehow refused to learn on those lessons.

Eh....there were times when Marvel movies were just cool and epic movies, which we were looking forward to. And we watched them again and again. And still are.

But this movie...I don't think I'll ever have a wish to watch it again.… Expand

Jump forward toYet another origin story from the Marvel Universe. Scarlett Johansson returns as the kickass redhead, but not before we flashback to meet her family (David Harbour & Rachel Weisz as parents and Florence Pugh as her sister). Jump forward to her adult iteration, as she fights to (wait for it) save the world. There are expected action beats throughout, most of them noisy, but lacking much new in approach or wow factor. What slows down the pace is the preponderance of family drama that attempts to add emotional resonance. Harbour, as the failed Red Guardian, provides a few lighter moments. While this movie checks off the usual boxes for the genre, it adds nothing original to the legacy. NOTE: Sit thru the credits for a surprise cameo and a hint at a future conflict.… Expand

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.… Expand
