This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The first 2/3 were pretty good especially the beginning of the movie, but it started to fall apart as the 3rd part began. Some of the fight scenes were gritty and awesome while others had a ton of cuts and looked kinda sloppy. Yelena and red guardian were a little too funny for what seemed like a pretty serious movie. Some chi towards the end looked a little silly and there were a lot of skips and rushing to get through the plot I felt. Overall a fun movie but it kinda felt like a knock off winter soldier which is okay but it could've been a better send off for such a great character.… Expand

Film. What i loved the most is how brilliant and well delivered is Scarlet Johansson's acting here, i think she really got into the Role of Natasha Romanoff and transmits her emotions perfectly on the screen this time, in my opinion this is so far the Best of Scarlet's perfomance of the Black Widow character. I believe this Movie have a big chance of becoming the highest grossing Film of the Year if not The Decade, i'm a good Fan of Marvel Movies and honestly "Black Widow" is on my Top 3 favorites list. I'd recommend 100% this Movie to everyone because it's very enjoyable, trust me, you won't get bored not even for one milisecond. I hope the Academy can acknowledge this time the great convincing acting, dialogues, plot among other amazing things this Masterpiece have, Scarlet. I loved it from the start till the end… Expand

Le pese a quien le pese, pero Black Widow es una película excelente de principio a fin, luego de esperar tanto tiempo por fin se puede ver y me atrevo a decir que es de las mejores de todo el UCM.

Se rompe el esquema típico de estasLe pese a quien le pese, pero Black Widow es una película excelente de principio a fin, luego de esperar tanto tiempo por fin se puede ver y me atrevo a decir que es de las mejores de todo el UCM.

Se rompe el esquema típico de estas películas en relación a las demás del UCM donde prevalecía el exceso de humor absurdo e imprudente, el cual aquí es más discreto y mejor acertado, tiene una historia mejor estructurada en donde en sus 134 minutos de duración se pueden apreciar muchas cosas. Lo mejor son las impecables actuaciones por parte de Johansson, Pugh, Weiz y Harbour, la química entre las primeras dos es sencillamente fenomenal y natural en donde contrastan perfectamente sus personalidades, en lo técnico los efectos especiales y visuales son junto a la acción desenfrenada y todas las escenas de peleas un auténtico espectáculo que nadie se debe perder.

Después de tantas series absurdas y malas donde lo único que las sostiene es el carisma de sus actores y cero sustancia, por fin llegó Black Widow que tiene el equilibrio perfecto entre estilo y sustancia.

10/10 y no lo discuto con nadie.… Expand

Movie starts really slow, and most of first act could have been different.
There are not as many action scenes (lot of michael-bay explosions) and a lot more dialogue than in "typical" Marvel movie. But then this is not really a typical movie, this is about a character that has already been killed off and I do not understand why this movie has not been released 2 or 3 years ago... For those who noticed, yes, there are so called "#metoo moments" in this movie which, I guess is fine for the context, there is not much politics here. Taskmaster is really good villain in general but there is not much about her (uh, spoiler?) in this movie. Jokes are OK, supporting cast is good too but not really enough to build them up. After credits scene is almost not worthy sitting and waiting, you can just read online exactly what happens, no "gasp" or "wow" moment there.
Really forgettable movie unfortunately.… Expand

The resolution in the final act was insulting, as Marvel are incapable of letting her be a flawed character...she has to be the lord and savour of all, and gets to tie up her mistakes without an afterthought or emotion. And let's not forget the absurd woke agenda garbage gleefully crammed into every crevice of this film .

It truly feels like Marvel embarrassingly shat this one out, and in a month are going to try and gaslight you into forgetting it ever existed.

Ono as of course itAfter a long time on the Marvel movie in cinema and for me, complete satisfaction. I was worried that after the success of Avengers, Marvel would have a hard time picking up the thread and just not rise to that quality. Ono as of course it didn't even climb here and Black Widow is one of the "weaker" pieces, but in my opinion it has nothing to be ashamed of at all. Black Widow offered us a story before the events of Infinity War and it fits in beautifully, plus it brings us closer to the character himself and in my opinion it works a treat. I found the intro of the film almost masterful. Now I apologize for the slight exaggeration, but I just loved it madly. Throw in some classic action scenes, which Marvel has really honed over the years and just knows how to do. I liked the music a hell of a lot. There was still a quirk here and there, as is the Marvel way. I also have to give a shout out to Task Master, where there was a minor revelation that I wasn't expecting. Summa summarum for me this is a good film that once again got me into going to the cinema to see superhero movies and of course I recommend it to Marvel fans.… Expand

Stop watching after the second act and this is an OK film, as it spirals in the third. The worst part is the real villain gets away without consequences. Unsurprising, given that I subsequently found out that one of the writers is the writer of "Wandvision." If you haven't watched that series (don't), but the same thing happens. Well, in that series the real villain is lauded as a hero.

Florence Pugh is the highlight of the movie (well, it should, it's really her film). Johansson phones in her performance. I think the only reason I'm being so hard on this film is that I've wanted a Black Widow film for over a decade. This could have been a great Manchurian Candidate meets Borne Identity, but no.… Expand

Related media: I am reviewing this film after having seen all previous MCU films.

What's it like?: This tells the story of Black Widow after the events of Captain America: Civil War (CA:CW). She is now wanted by Secretary Ross, and ended up meeting up with her original 'family'.

Mid- or post-credit scenes: One post-credit scene.

Positive: It's better than Captain Marvel...?

Negatives: 1. This film's storyline is mostly inconsequential to what happens after CA:CW.
2. The villains' HQ is ridiculous and unrealistic physics-wise.
3. The arch villain is of the MCU-cliched throw-away kind. How would the different age groups rate it?

Children:Poor; Teens:Poor; Young adults:Average; Medium-age adults:Average; Old adults:Poor.

Rating: 3/5 (no half scores). Skip it. Save your money and watch it on TV.… Expand

And the jokes repeatedly fall flat - and I do mean repeatedly there is one joke (about Black Widows posing) that is repeated *three* *times* throughout the movie.

Many wasted opportunities. Too many situations are resolved with big fight scenes rather than using Black Widows talents as a master spy. The Red Guardian has been turned into a buffoon and the butt of all their jokes. The ending resolved none of the moral questions in the film especially the dubious ethics of one of the lead characters is simply forgotten.

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.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I wish I had been able to sit further back in the theater because even reclined, the third row was too close to really appreciate the massive action scenes. I especially couldn't "get" the news montage after the opening. That's what happens when plans change and tickets are hard to come by.

I am not overly thrilled with this movie, there wasn't enough origin for an origin story. I do love Florence Pugh's Yelena and I thought the banter in the family, especially between the sisters was very real and often amusing. ScarJo played Black Widow very familiarly.

The overall storyline felt muddled to me with jumping around different times and unclear expository dialog. I'm not a crazy about action scenes that go on forever, and there were too many of those that were impressive stunt-wise but after a while no longer added to the story.

What I felt is missing: (lack-of-plot info that could be spoilers). Although much of Nat's childhood is explained, most of the following things are simply mentioned in passing. I wanted to learn more about her Red Room training life, how she was used as an assassin, why she decided to defect and how she ended up with S.H.I.E.L.D. and as the Avenger's tech expert, how she and Clint became friends (and what did happen in Budapest that they always argued about). I suppose all that plus the family story and the action plot would have made the movie untenable. I'm a solid but primarily movie-only Marvel fan; perhaps I need to get into the comics for the details I want. The portrayals of the Red Guardian and Taskmaster didn't bother me at all the way it seems to bother those with deeper knowledge/obsession.… Expand

As far as MCU entries go, I'm just gonna straight up say that this is pretty much middle of the road territory. The stakes never felt especially high and this felt more like just a fun filler entry. As far as performances go, Johansson delivers with great action and a headstrong performance, but for me it was Florence Pugh as her younger sister that stole the show. She had plenty of humorous comic relief moments and one-liners throughout and also got to shine in some great action sequences of her own. David Harbour and Rachel Weisz are also worth mentioning as their parents, who both deliver some great scenes and moments alongside each other. Overall though, the cast and action sequences make things enjoyable and worthwhile enough to make up for a generic and straightforward story, and there's certainly been weaker MCU entries. Stick around till the very end of the credits for that trademark MCU end-credits scene.… Expand

A prequel in which Marvel's action ridicules the self-styled psychological depth of the protagonist and her supporting actors. The miscasting is stellar: the beauties (Kurylenko) become horrendously disfigured, the fatties (Harbor) become the Russian counterpart of Captain America, and the widers than tall (Johansson, Weisz) become extraordinary superheroines. The childlike tricks are borrowed from the saga of "Mission: Impossible", while the substance is once again advertising for the political correctness ("Save the female Children"). And if the seriousness must arrive with "Smell Like Teen Spirit" chosen as opening song of the film or citing "The Shining" with the pun "Red Room" / "Murder", whose first comics' appearance occurs in "Black Widow" no. 3, January 2005, then the limit is abundantly exceeded.… Expand

The end result: an incredible spy thriller that should have been released many, many years ago. If it was released then, probably Scarlett Johansson would have second thoughts about leaving one of her signature roles. However, we literally have a new Widow to contend with: Florence Pugh. Wow...again, another great find by Feige and Co. Pugh has always been a great actress but sorry to say, I felt that she fit more like a glove in this universe in comparison to Johansson herself. I always felt that they always tried to fit Natasha to Scarlett's and not the other way around. Pugh on the other hand is literally born to play Yelena. Great action sequences as usual, and after three great Disney+ series, I thought that the cinematic experience for the MCU is a goner. Not anymore. When the pandemic is truly over, people will return to the cinemas to see these flicks again.… Expand

Ever since I heard the possibility of Natasha's own solo movie, I was thrilled. And knowing the release date just added to the anticipation. I know a lot of us were worried that this movie wouldn't live up to our lofty expectations, but it absolutely exceeded them!

Black Widow was amusing, intense, and entertaining. It possesses its own gritty distinctiveness while appearing to blend in well with the rest of the MCU. Scarlett Johansson then delivered an outstanding performance. It truly saddens me that this will be her final appearance on the big screen as Natasha Romanoff. As for Florence Pugh, as Yelena, it was just chef's kiss. She gave her all to this charming character. I gonna love seeing Yelena more in the MCU. Not to mention Rachel Weisz and David Harbour. They were also fantastic on-screen, contributing to the family-like dynamic with Scarlett and Florence.

Overall, this is a film that everyone should see. It features an excellent soundtrack, CGI, and combat sequences. For the first time, I feel like I'm finally seeing a non-objectified portrayal of Natasha.… Expand

Seeing from the trailers, the action scenes from the Black Widow movie, we would have expected levels of action like Captain America: The Winter Soldier; the action scenes are fun but most of them feel rushed and ultimately too short. The story doesn't really give a lot of information about Natasha's backstory and zooms right through it with a grueling, long opening credits and you feel all of the sequences rushing to the finish point. Our heroes, David Harbour's Red Guardian and Rachel Weisz's Melina Vostokoff were great to see but they were underutilized at the end of the story. O. T. **** character seemed to be important at first, but yet you could remove his scenes from the movie and it wouldn't make a difference. The antangonists were god awful, two of the worst villains in the MCU to date. If you came to see the movie because of Taskmaster, please don't get too attached to this version of his; you will be disappointed. The other antagonist felt so mediocre and bland, you wonder if this is really a MCU movie. But all of this said, you can have fun watching this for the first time seeing the chemistry between Scarlett and Florence's characters and their journey, which is the highlight of the movie. But this movie is not worth a rewatch unless you enjoy and love the Black Widow character.… Expand

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.'… Expand

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 those claiming otherwise are proving that they either cannot pay attention which is incomprehensible considering a large amount of this movie is CGI, or they are outright exaggerating. In some people's twisted minds, agenda can replace entertainment instead of being used creatively to enhance it. This movie ruins the character of Taskmaster, and nerfs Red Guardian (super-soldier juice) to the point where all the unpowered little* girls are doing better than he does. Even Scarlett BW is nerfed a bit, so Pugh BW takes center stage as she is being handed the titular role. Of course there is no reason as to why a YOUNGER Scarlett BW is less impressive than her older self, except lazy writing and directing. She should be at the height of her training at this prequel point, but apparently like most of the D+ MCU shows, this is just a springboard to push the next thing they want us to buy. Again, that is not entertaining, just disappointing.

Overall this was a time-waster, nothing more. It loses two point for the bad CGI and lighting, as well as what they did to Taskmaster and Red Guardian.

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.… Expand

+ The dark tone it has lying underneath
+ Red Guardian was fun and Melina was okay
+ Good villains (not great; Taskmaster was badass and Dreykov felt like a real threat)
+ (Female) Empowerement done right Cons:
- The pacing
- The post-credit scene (while the goodbye was great, Valentina and the Hawkeye set up was a bit disappoiting considering it's the first post credit scene we get in theaters after Far From Home).
- The nods to the Avengers could be trimmed down
- Lots of characters added nothing to the plot (Ross and Mason added nothing to the overall story)
- Lots of questions to answers that could have easily been answered
- Didn't work as a Swan Song
- Taskmaster was severely underused Overall: Good and entertaining movie that kinda bugs me as the first movie in the MCU's Phase 4.
