Black Widow: Review

 Black Widow's strengths are enough to overcome its flaws.

The story line for Black Widow has obvious flaws. I was not impressed with the overall villain, but the story line had enough heart and character development to make up for it. I thought they could have gone in a better direction as well.

The action scenes were solid, but very unmemorable. Like I said above, they should have gone in a lot of different directions. The humor in this movie was spot on however. Marvel has not lost its touch in terms of its humor.

The acting in this movie was spectacular. While Scarlett Johansson was spot on once again as Black Widow, I really felt that David Harbour (Red Guardian) and Florence Pugh (Yelena Belova) were the best actors in this film. Ray Winstone was wasted in this movie however. I just don't get how they could be so spot on with some things in the MCU, but then completely miss the mark on other things.

The end credits was good. I was so happy to see Julia Louis-Dreyfus back as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. The scene revealed to me as to how this show will tie into the Hawkeye series. Looking forward to seeing it. I also think that they are building up either the Thunderbolts, or the Dark Avengers.

Out of 4 stars I would give it...

3 out of 4 stars
