Compared to other marvel movies, this is definitely a one star. Disappointed in the dialogue and plot. They tried to overshadow the failures in directing with heavy cgi’d fight scenes. Underwhelming acting and story.

A 4/10 on the MCU scale and 5/10 just as a movie. Dialogue was okay not great with the humor feeling awkward and misplaced. I enjoyed David Harbour but Florence Pugh didn’t add anything. The directing fluctuated where some scenes were very captivating while others seemed to drag on. This somewhat of an origin story didn’t really add to the black widow character since we already knew she had a tragic background. Action was fun but nothing we haven't seen before. Fortunately not too much cgi until the end. The spy movie vibe sets it apart from other marvel films so I recommend this to those who want something different, but at the same time I thought it was very similar to all other spy/fugitive movies. There were some questionable moments but overall a pretty okay addition to the marvel universe which I’ll probably watch again in like 15 years.

This felt like it was a movie made by Vikings for Vikings and they allowed me to sit in as well. Don’t come in with any expectations just know this is an incredible movie.
