Like any other first solo venture, BW must go into great detail about Natasha's past. If you're a comic buff, this usually puts most enthusiasts to bed. Not due to poor quality or a lack of continuity, its simply because we know the story and we want to get to the significant portion of the exposition. Nevertheless, the introduction of Taskmaster and Russia's version of Capt. America was somewhat pleasing to the eye, but lacking a bit of volume (especially Taskmaster). However, the ending makes up for the lack of familiarity or relative exposure that we so often take for granted. If only there could have been more instances of Taskmaster CLEARLY mimicking her opponent....WOW! All in all, I give this standalone MCU venture a 7 out of 10. Not bad for a first solo film Mrs. Johansson.
