A long a waited film for a lot of people. Black Widow has been hyped up to be this different more “grounded” side of the MCU and show a story of everyone’s favorite Avenger. But was it all worth it ? No plain and simple no . While the film does show a lot of good ideas it’s a flawed,awkward and unoriginal action movie that barely makes it to being one of the most forgettable MCU movies . Johansson is back as her title character and she does do a good job again. With her are Yelena Belova played by Florence Pugh which is a good addition. They both have very good and a believable sister relationship and the jokes that she makes are the actual good jokes of the movie . David Harbour and Rachel Weisz play Red Guardian and Melina Vostokoff, both work good together but feel tacked on than anything else . Actually the whole movie feels tacked on . The action scenes were a lackluster. Not to impressive but there were some scenes where the characters MOST of them are human defy the laws of gravity . The whole message and just overall feel of the film feels pretentious . It’s trying to go over as dark as it is and it dose and I’ll give the movie that it does try to achieve this tone but it’s so inconsistent. The villains are not the greatest and the taskmaster who’s a mercenary, has photographic memory in the comics is reduced to a walking robot and the twist and reveal is super obvious.
Overall Black Widow isn’t really a satisfying film but is barely enjoyable . I give it a 6/10
