Summary

Reviewers say 'Black Widow' garners mixed reactions, highlighting strong performances by Scarlett Johansson and Florence Pugh, and impressive action scenes. Themes of feminism and Natasha Romanoff's backstory are well-received. However, pacing issues, a generic plot, and the portrayal of Taskmaster draw criticism. Some find the film entertaining yet formulaic, while others believe it doesn't meet Marvel's usual standards. The MCU timeline placement and connections to past events also receive varied feedback.

More Disney-isation of Marvel

Marvel character finds a problem.

Marvel character calls some friends for help.

Marvel character finds out something they didn't know.

Marvel character seems to have lost.

Marvel character actually wins.

Yep, standard Disney/Marvel recipe complete, put it out for people to watch, make a load of cash, rinse and repeat.

I'm being really generous with my star rating because they had the guts to actually do a Black Widow movie.

Still better than either of the Wonder Woman (I WONDER why I watched them) movies, but that's not saying much.

It's like death and taxes now; there's bound to be an iffy Disney/Marvel movie or show along every six months or so. It's got to the point where it's like watching a soap opera because we're only still watching because we're invested in the characters.

Soon enough the "normal" people will stop watching because they're not invested in the characters in the first place.

Better than Eternals..

This was overall a good movie. Florence Pugh added some amusement with her funny accent and Scarlett Johansson was cool as always. I liked the jokes, many of them, but they're still not in the same class as the avengers movies. However, if you still haven't seen this film, do it. It was good enough and a whole lot better than the new Eternals-junk!

No clue why the hate

This is a super solid, fun, well choreographed action entry in the Marvel universe. Very similar feel to the winter soldier and civil war. Acting is great, fight scenes are awesome, and the humor is well timed and refreshing.

FP and DH carried this movie

Florence Pugh carried this movie, her and David Harbour laid down some seriously good comedic moments. The action was as over the top as any other marvel movie so on brand there. The acting was okay and CGI was expectedly good. It felt like Johansson took a back seat to other characters which was disappointing.

It was OK--nothing more

Black Widow ( Scarlett Johansson) must deal with a villain from her past and her long-absent family.

LOUD, confusing and far too long. It starts off OK but quickly falls apart and becomes confusing and convoluted. The film is also way too long--it doesn't need to run over 2 hours. There's also tons of CGI at the end--way too much. The acting is OK. In short a long forgettable MCU movie.

Which Actresses Almost Played Black Widow?

Between Avengers: Endgame and Black Widow's solo movie, Scarlett Johansson is clocking in overtime in the MCU. But the role of Black Widow almost went to someone else ...

Crazy credits
There is a scene after the the closing credits: Yelena Belova visits Natasha's grave, and is approached by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. Valentina gives Yelena a mission to target the man she tells her is responsible for her sister's death: Clint Barton. This sets up Hawkeye (2021).
