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”… Expand

Competent, but ultimately shallow exploration of Marvel's "Black Widow" character in a typical blockbuster fashion. It's "fine" by all accounts, but doesn't really offer anything new, relevant or interesting for Marvel fans.

ScarJo can't carry a scene0/10. 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.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Before I get any hate for this rating, just know that I still really enjoy the MCU even if every so often, one of their films/shows falls flat for me. There is a lot of fun to be had here. This is the only Marvel film that had some good jokes and made me chuckle which is incredibly rare for a Marvel film. Florence Pugh and David Harbour bring a lot of great comedic timing to their performances that definitely elevates them from boring sidekicks. Their characters are actually interesting and feel much more involved in the story. I hope we get to see those two in the future again. Although their Russian accents do need a little bit of work. Scarlett Johansson is good. Her performance is fine. She doesn’t do a bad job but there is a lot to be desired especially considering this is her final appearance in the MCU (film wise not timeline wise). Rachel Weisz was fine as well but her character felt very forgettable and bland which sucks because she just falls into the background whenever other characters show up on screen. The main villain is absolutely awful. It’s honestly a contender for worst MCU villain. His motivations are almost nonexistent and he exists only to yell and exposit. The characters build up that he’ll be hard to kill but he just kinda dies without the influence of the characters which really defeats the purpose of them mentioning how hard he is to kill. Taskmaster is an interesting side villain but ultimately contributes nothing to the plot except as closure for Black Widow’s forgettable side mission. The action scenes are kinda bland. If this was an earlier MCU film it would feel a lot better but because the MCU has bumped out some great action scenes, this just feels flat and boring. The visual effects are really spotty. Sometimes they look good and sometimes they look really really bad but the visual effects are usually pretty good. The story is very forgettable. It revolves around Black Widow taking down the Red Room again but the sequence of events is so bland and forgettable. I can’t remember some sequence of events relating to the story. It was nice to hear a little bit more about the Budapest adventure but it makes me wish we had got that movie instead of this. I placed this above Ant-Man but below Captain America 1 in my MCU Ranking. If you like the MCU then you’ll probably enjoy this but if you aren’t super invested in this universe then you can skip this.… Expand

If you're a Nirvana fan, then you'll be pleased to hear one of the worst cover songs of all time ruin one of the very few coherent sequences early on in the film. Thank goodness for Disney+ and the mute button.

Performances are great (but so were the performances in X-Men Origins... hmmm....) This is fact & undeniable. Everyone is perfectly cast and really do have fantastic character moments which take place in fun and heartwarming scenes that a neatly speckled throught.

But there's the problem. They're just moments. Small ones.

The real bummer issues are the story and the action.

Action. Almost every part of this is overblown and ridiculous.
What are Romanov's abilities exactly? Surving obviously fatal falls (apparently the writers hadn't seen Endgame) and explosions are, now. The general over-the-top ridiculousness from action sequence to action sequence don't necessarily feel like they're possible in any reality, which really affects believability in a story that attempts to be grounded. Sure, it's Marvel and you expect a certain level of death defying stunts, but this turns it up to 11 too many times.

In particular there's one old beat up vehicle that can either heal itself or all vehicles of this type can take hundreds of high calibre rounds whilst not skipping a beat. The sequence itself is bloated and the events are so unbelievably silly that saying it's plain dumb is being kind.

I've always said that any good film, no matter it's genre, should have an element of mystery. Black Widow attempts this in two ways and fails spectacularly at both. "Oh my - who is Taskmaster?" There's so many choices, no, wait up, there's only one.

Anyone familiar with the "twist" of Agent 13's true nature in The Falcon and The Winter Soldier will have flashbacks on this subject. A very heavy handed approach that may induce a groan in any audience member who finshed grade school. Pass or fail.

The other is the ending. Well, if it worked in Captain America: Winter Soldier (the movie, not the series) then why not do it again huh. Like EXACTLY like CA:WS. The big "gotchya" moment on the bad-guy is telegraphed so blatantly in the scenes leading up to the point that it's embarrassing. The fact that this reveal happens moments apart from the Taskmaster reveal honestly felt like a slap in the face.

Sure, there are other films that talk down to the audience, but when a double mystery-reveal this dumb happens it's hard not to laugh at the poor story telling on show.

There are more WTF moments in this film, but they venture into spoiler territory. Here's some non-spoiler clues for those who have seen it...

Terrific disguise.
Smells can be moved away from.
"Don't do it!!!" - do what, we don't know what those things are that she's holding...
On the run, on the run, on the run? Nah eff it.

All in all, despite the terrific performances, this is an action/mystery flick. For morons. It has zero re-watchability and for the most part the key points feel like a dumb guys attempt at being smart. The direction is middling. But everything else is standard Marvel fair ie. A perfectly acceptable production.… Expand

It only took two Captain America movies, two Hulk movies, three Iron Man movies and three Thor movies, but hey, better late than never.

Set just after the events in Civil War and before Infinity War. Natasha must confront her dark past as a spy before she became an Avenger. I have to say I’ve never once questioned Black Widow’s abilities in any of the previous Marvel movies, she is highly skilled and a deadly weapon but still only human yet she fit in among the other avengers effortlessly. Yet in Black Widow she seems to be elevated to superhuman strengths. On more than one occasion I couldn’t help drown out that voice that said “they’d be dead after that”, “no way anyone is surviving that.” I tried to drown out that voice I really did but I just couldn’t. Many of the characters in Black Widow seem to be able to withstand just about anything, they’re bullet proof, knife proof, and explosion proof. I tried not to let it bother me but it kept taking me out of the movie. It’s difficult to maintain any kind of drama or suspense when all the characters can withstand anything and get right back up and carry on as if nothing happened. I don’t believe Black Widow needed to be this over the top, with a strong first half it became more over the top as it progressed and by the time you’re in the third act it really started to feel like a video game. I wish I wasn’t saying this, I wish I liked Black Widow as much as Captain Marvel but it’s just not quite there. Despite some of the issues I have with it there is still a lot to enjoy. The strongest thing about Black Widow is its characters, I always enjoy watching Scarlet Johansson as Black Widow and finally seeing her in a solo movie is something I’ve been looking forward to for a long time. I liked the addition of Florence Pugh and Rachel Weisz. Also adding David Harbour as the Red Guardian aka Russia’s equivalent to Captain America was just a bonus and he does manage to steal most of the comedic spotlight. Johansson and Pugh really make a great onscreen pair. They are clearly having a great time kicking ass and that is the best thing I can take from Black Widow.

I really wanted to love this movie, I tried harder than I would with most movies but it’s not at the standard it should have been. So yes I’m a little disappointed but Black Widow is definitely recommended for all the Marvel fans.… Expand

What we got is a middling Marvel effort with a rehashed spy thriller story and its affiliated action set-pieces and plot clichés. Granted, that very spy flavour that bleeds into each act more and more evidently endows us with a couple of slick action sequences that are pulled off with aplomb. It's just unfortunate all of them are devoid of the slightest tension. While on the subject, there's no real sense of danger I feel each time either Natasha or Yelena are supposedly at risk, and The Taskmaster completely fails to prove an imposing threat, that's not to mention it's a villain that's clearly merely skimmed over, with the result of falling victim to the plot's mishmash of clichés. The humour isn't the worst, largely due to Pugh and Harbour whose chemistry elevates each scene they share a great deal. The third act feels the most superhero-y, with a fair share of explosions and CGI-heavy scenes that almost feel incongruous with the relatively small-scope MCU installment Black Widow aims to be. However, It's also here when we get some emotionally-charged moments where Pugh — yup, once again — and Scarlett get there moments to shine, serving a fitting send-off for our titular superhero. Moreover, all of these shortcomings can be tolerated given the joy one gets out of this movie. I was surprised how much time flew by minutes before reaching its post-credit scene that got me really pumped up to see what's coming next.… Expand

It's far too late to be an origin story for Natasha Romanoff. It doesn't really add anything meaningful to her character arc. If anything, this movie feels like an origin story for Yelena and the rest of the Widows as well as the introduction of Red Guardian and Melina to the wider MCU.

Coming after the end of phase 3, but set squarely in the timeline established by phase 3, and with only the end-credits scene set in phase 4, the movie feels out of place. A one off. A relic of the Infinity Saga.

The action was decent but way overused. It felt formulaic, as if they had to fit in action sequences in specific time frames to ensure the audience didn't get bored between bits of exposition. And the effects felt like they took a significant step backward from what we saw in the later phase 3 MCU films. Some of the high flying gymnastic style stunts performed by Natasha, Yelena, and Taskmaster were some of the most obvious bits of CGI I've seen since Phantom Menace (the fight sequence on the bridge early on, for example).

An out of place movie that really did nothing for the character of Natasha that tried to live solely on the strength of its action sequences. I doubt I'll bother watching it again. David Harbour stole the show though and I hope we get to see him as Red Guardian in later MCU entries. I'd love nothing more than to see him fighting side by side with Sam Wilson's Captain America.… Expand

The metaphor for human traffic is constant and plot twists happen frequently. Some of these are predictable but most aren't. Can also add that Black Widow brutally murders Birds of Prey as a feminist masterpiece and as such doesn't need to advertise itself as because it's MUCH more than that at the same time.

Can only critic the action as it's sometimes, (~60%) over the top and unrealistic but that's Marvel aswell.… Expand

Other than that it was identical in feel to the other Marvel Studios movies. They didn't make it needlessly feminine or overly sexual (in fact, it wasn't sexual at all. There was no sex scenes, no love story subplot, no fan service, no sexual violence trauma 'backstory' not even innuendos) and the female characters were actually well written, with actual problems to solve and were not 'helped' by a man who solved them for them and their driving motivation is not the approval of a man. It is the best female driven super hero movie I've ever seen by far.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 6.5 out of 10. The opening scenes through the opening credits were all fantastic. The entire movie was entertaining, albeit formulaic. The fight choreography was a return to form after the abysmal choreography in Falcon and Winter Soldier. David Harbour and Florence Pugh steal the show. Rachel Weisz didn't get enough screen time but she was effective in every scene she was in. Taskmaster was an intimidating villain. Taskmaster's reveal was incredibly predictable, but that's not necessarily a bad thing (I had an old Lit teacher who once said that truly unpredictable twists are a sign of bad/lazy writing). Only major cons were one bit about the third act and that Ray Winstone was a forgettable and unintimidating villain. I'm not one to complain about a climactic/fantastical third act. However, pulling a parachute whilst debris is falling all around you would have almost definitely led to Yelena's death. Either her parachute would have been compromised and she'd have fallen to her death or she'd have been crushed/cut apart by the falling debris. I thought that bit was fairly lazy writing.

Even after giving the movie a 6.5, I think this movie was solid but ultimately wasted potential. Rather than telling a story that links Civil War's Natasha with Infinity War/End Game's Natasha - bringing closure to her character and potentially improving upon the emotional connection the audience has with her character in those films - we got a movie that seemed to focus on setting up future stories with new characters. Now for the fan fiction re-writes that nobody really cares about... Although it may seem like a bigger waste to some people, I think Melina should have truly been revealed to be a villain and died in the final act, Alexei/Red Guardian should have sacrificed himself to save his "daughters" from Taskmaster, and Yelena should have been presumed dead (revealed to be alive in the end credits scene, which wouldn't have had to change) after she blew up Dreykov's aircraft. Yes, it would have been tragic. However, it would have amplified her sacrifice in End Game by emphasizing her determination to protect her "family" as well as ensuring her best friend was able to see his biological family again. Just my two cents...… Expand

The long-awaited released of Marvel and pandemic delayed, Black Widow - of course,What's scarier than a black widow spider today? A black widow spider haunting you from a year ago. That's exactly what we have before us this weekend folks. The long-awaited released of Marvel and pandemic delayed, Black Widow - of course, starring the beautiful, Scarlett Johansson (Yost?) as the beloved, turncoat super spy/assassin Natasha Romanoff a.k.a. Black Widow. This film follows Natasha after Civil War but prior to Infinity War. We all wondered what occurred with her in that time to be with Captain and Sam and now we know. She went on a blast-from-the-past trip to clear her ledger of red. Let's see if this film really was needed in the MCU universe.

I'll put it like this, Endgame gave Natasha one of the most heartfelt, poignant, sincere and redeeming ends a hero could ever ask for. This Black Widow film finds a way to undo that and just rehash the wounds of her impending doom. In reality, this movie deserved to be made prior to Infinity War and Marvel really screwed the pooch by letting this linger. The story itself could've been set in between any of the movies, particularly after Iron Man 2. In fact, this movie feels like a sequel rather than an "origin story", which in a way only enhances my feeling of what if they truly appreciated a strong female spy lead in the Marvel universe. With that said, the viewer feels like they've been thrown inside a moving bus and don't know where they are headed because it's so out of place in the MCU timeline, including the TV shows. Marvel really just missed out on capitalizing on what is otherwise a solid movie by having it released outside of the first 4 phases of the universe.

Nevertheless, Black Window on it's own is a very solid movie. The biggest knock of the movie has to be it's too long for a movie that really isn't going anywhere. We all know from Endgame that she's gone but is she gone forever? We hope not. Either way, there's a ton of dialogue and almost too little action when considering the more than two hour runtime. Nevertheless, the dialogue is clever, funny at times, and endearing as well. In fact, that sums up the movie from beginning to end. From the backstory we learn to the unrequited love at the end, Black Widow works. The cast is very strong, even Pugh with what seems like a terrible accent at times. I think viewers will want to see more of these characters and judging by the movie talks and the post credit scene, they will be obliged. On top of that, the viewer will be entertained by the typical action. We've all gotten used to the big explosions, the chases, and fight scenes. Black Widow certainly isn't lacking for any of these things particularly with the addition of Taskmaster, which I would've wanted more from.

Ultimately, Black Widow is a good story that is too late for the franchise. Even if this movie came out during the pandemic, the film was too late in the grand scheme of things. This ultimately hurts the movies rating overall. The film more rehashes old wounds than gives a beloved character a just due, like she received in Endgame. Everyone should definitely check this film out for the matinee price and you absolutely won't go wrong once the film hits Disney+ without the premium price. So grab your bowl of popcorn and watch Black Widow and family handle some business.… Expand

Son charme naturel est toujours si intrigant !

D’ailleurs, attention les machos parce qu’il n’y a pratiquement que des gonzesses dans ce film et en plus, c’est réalisé par une gonzesse ! mais du coup, lorsqu’elle filme le cul de son actrice principale, personne ne vient faire chier (du moins, je le crois, je ne suis pas au courant de tout). Le woke agenda avec (un peu de) diversité obligatoire est évidemment obligatoire ici… mais ç’aurait pu être pire, bien pire.

En tout cas, à ma grande surprise, cette marvellerie est tout à fait regardable même si le scénar idiot a été écrit par des ados. C’est un mélange à parts plus ou moins égales entre du psychodrame familial à deux dollars, des vannes de sitcom (Mariés, Deux Enfants, je crois…) et de l’action kaboum.

Le plus réussi, ça doit être les vannes et la partie sitcom (!) : c’est tellement bête que c’est drôle ! le psychodrame, on aimerait y croire mais soit on pouffe de rire, soit on s’ennuie… Quant à l’action, les bastons sont un peu trop cut (et un peu move) pour convaincre ; les kaboums font boum et kaboum mais les effets spéciaux (les flammes et le feu notamment) font carrément de la peine !

Putain, Marvel qui a plein de pognon, qui appartient à Disney qui a encore plus de pognon, faudrait peut-être penser à se sortir les doigts, bande de cons ! Quoi qu’il en soit, j’ai tenu jusqu’au bout sans effort particulier, grace aux vannes et grâce à Scarlett… ainsi qu’à sa petite soeur dans le film, la non moins charmante Florence Pugh : une bien jolie fille à surveiller, déjà vue dans la grosse daube sur le catch !… Expand

I’m not too familiar with the villain, Taskmaster but I will say this, I like how they did with it in the movie with a twist of their own idea because we know that, they will never follow the MCU comics but will use that as an inspiration and idea to create their own style they like to use for the villain for the story in the movie to make sense and complete. I know many fans are disappointed about it but the realization is that, they will never follow the comics and put it in the movie because of one thing I know is, many of the fans in the world maybe already read the comics for Black Widow and others marvel characters so they wouldn’t want to make a movie that the people already know the stories about from beginning to end. They try to make their version of the villain the best it can be in all their movies. I ABSOLUTELY HATE when a Marvel movies comes out, and there’s a lot of negative review for a Marvel Studios movies right away on release day…Whether it’s for Black Widow or others, because MCU comics fans expect the Marvel Studios to follow the comics for their movie for them. The team work very hard and it would be a waste of hard work if you are really not proud of them to try to make a great movie that took probably 2 years to make.

If we take into account the eagerness that existed in a large part of the global audiences to see a new Marvel movie, I must say that Black Widow is very late to the party.

And the truth is that I'm not talking about the delays it sufferedIf we take into account the eagerness that existed in a large part of the global audiences to see a new Marvel movie, I must say that Black Widow is very late to the party.

And the truth is that I'm not talking about the delays it suffered due to the pandemic, but because this is the first movie that openly does not contribute anything to the MCU.

I could make a similar case for Iron Man 3, but by now it's irrelevant.

Black Widow is Scarlett Johansson's swan song.
A belated farewell, and at the same time completely useless.

I say this more than anything because I personally believe the actress deserved a much more dignified farewell than the one she received in Avengers: Endgame.
Certainly going back to the past in this movie gives her character a marked undertone, but it's one that no longer works because her character is dead.

And even worse for Johansson, her last participation in the MCU becomes the launch of the young woman who comes to replace her, and take the mantle of her character.

Another point that I must emphasize, and that in my view Black Widow aggravates, is how the MCU is separating and becoming two very different entities.

In the comic book it works because you can tell different stories from different perspectives, but in the movies it will be very difficult to re-converge the lesser characters with the more powerful as the scale of events continues to increase.

Marvel is targeting the cosmic side of its universe, and as it does so, it's also opening the doors of the multiverse.
Just by seeing the events of WandaVision and Loki this is more than clear.
Much more powerful enemies and worlds are approaching, and frankly characters like the new Captain America, the Winter Soldier, U.S. Agent, and a new Black Widow simply aren't up to the task of competing on that scale.
Does anyone remember what Hawkeye was doing in the final battle of Avengers: Endgame? I mean, it's not that hard to see.

Black Widow has the well-known Marvel formula, and entertaining yourself with it for a while is not bad at all, but I can't deny that this time it feels wearisome because there is nothing at stake.
Whatever others say, this was just Florence Pugh's introduction.

Perhaps due to Scarlett Johansson's level of stardom, she got a movie for her character, but this could have been a Disney + show and there would've been no problem.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. |6.2| Black Widow is a very good character in the MCU and I think Scarlett Johansson does a great job portraying the character. Black Widow the movie does a great job of showing the past of Black Widow as it should. So what's bad about the movie? There are many things about the movie I didn't like. Taskmaster, settings of the movie, and most of all the plot/ ending of the movie. Taskmaster, a master assassin is not actually shown as an assassin. Taskmaster does no killing in the film unless you are talking about when they ram a tank into multiple cars. I'm sure some of the pedestrians died if it was real life. Taskmaster is shown as a feared person in the movie but there isn't anything for the viewer to fear about them. Sure they can mimic moves others do but that is all we saw they can do. I feel taskmaster was done dirty in this movie. The settings in this movie are relevant to the plot of the movie. There are six main locations in the movie, Ohio, Cuba, Budapest, Prison, Farm, and "Hover Craft". Ohio and Cuba being part of the past in the movie and the other four being the present. In every location, there is a fight scene and something about family. I felt like I was watching an F&F movie with Vin Diesel with the number of times they mentioned how everyone was a family. The ending of the movie is what got me, what made me dislike the movie. The movie is set after Captain America: Civil War. The ending sets up for Avengers: Infinity War. We are left with a cliffhanger to know what Black Widow does to get the team back together, which isn't explained in Infinity War. We are also left with wanting more Black Widow, but unfortunately, if you have already watched Endgame you know that she is dead. I think if this movie came out before the endgame and before infinity war, much of the audience would have liked it more. Instead, it opens a new plot to the sister and what she is going to do to Hawkeye.… Expand

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.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Black Widow is a good MCU movie I feel like if this was released during when civil war came out it would have worked a lot better Black Widow is about Natasha is on the run while the taskmaster is trying to get more of the widows alright so Black WIdow is a good movie but the ending did not feel right when Melina captures Natasha Yelena and red guardian I am confused but than they change their outfits to make it work but it feels off when they did that like when Dreykov touches their head it changes people I really did not like that but after that it got better so TaskMaster to me was great until they reveal who was taskmaster sucked it was the daughter of Dreykov that sucked the first 15 minutes of the movie was awesome I liked the pacing of it Yelena is a great character as the sister of Natasha so all round a good MCU movie with a great supporting cast with a different story so I give Black Widow a B… Expand

Certain clips were too long and others too short. Taskmaster was such a waste of a villain and the fight between Red Guardian and Taskmaster could have been such an iconic fight but there crumpled it down to under 45 secs and had to have his wife save him. All Red Guardian was throughout this movie was just nothing but comic relief. This movie was such a dissapointment and I wish they could have ended Black Widow off with a bang and not a flop.… Expand

Black Widow is a good enough MCU film, but doesn't reach the heights it should. This is no spy thriller film, instead it's just an action-filled movie from start to finish like Fast & Furious. And just like that film series, Black WidowBlack Widow is a good enough MCU film, but doesn't reach the heights it should. This is no spy thriller film, instead it's just an action-filled movie from start to finish like Fast & Furious. And just like that film series, Black Widow introduces us to another, ehm, family.

Let's keep in mind that this film was designed more like to quickly make a female-led MCU film because the Black Widow character is dead and Scarlett Johansson wants out, than making a film that would really highlight Scarlett Johansson's character of Natasha Romanoff. As a result it doesn't work nearly as well as DC's Wonder Woman in that regard.

The action though is very good. Hard to complain.

The plot is about Soviet spies planted in the 1990s USA and what it means for kids to have a fake family and losing it by force. This idea makes for some great moments between Romanoff, Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) and the fake parents of Red Guardian (David Harbour) and Iron Maiden (Rachel Weisz) when they reunite.

But the most disappointing element of this film is the Taskmaster brute. It's just like Ben Kingsley's fake Mandarin in Iron Man 3, only 100X worse. If they had left this brute unnamed, or if it was a mindless robot, it would have been so much better and more fitting, because Taskmaster is speechless until the very end. But no, it's a random girl (not even a female version of Tony Masters) who got buffed, got a male suit and was renamed Taskmaster (and was revealed to have photographic memory thanks to an implant instead of an ability of her own). Why? I don't understand who makes these moronic decisions that deviate so much from the source material and for what purpose.

Overall, Black Widow is an enjoyable but forgettable MCU movie. It's a pity that Scarlett Johansson will never play the role of Black Widow again, but her character deserved a better swansong.… Expand
