Review of Black Widow (2021) by Une_One — 09 Jul 2021

I would like to say right away that this film was supposed to be released in 2017, because after what happened in "Avengers: Endgame", the drama does not affect the viewer.

The film begins with a tense act 1 and it seems that the atmosphere will be in the same direction for all 2 hours, but something went wrong.

Natasha is on the run after the events of "Civil war" and is constantly in contact with some guy who throughout the film gets Romanoff everything she needs. Who is he? Where is he from? Where does it take everything? There will be no answer to all these questions. The character just exists to simply move the plot further.

One of the villains, nicknamed Taskmaster, is a walking disgrace. There was nothing left of the comic canon, where he had a phenomenal memory and could copy the enemy's fighting styles, which made him practically invincible. For all the time, he had 3-4 action scenes that are not even remembered. The twist with the disclosure of the identity is absolutely empty. It does not cause any emotions, except for hitting the palm of your hand on your face.

The main villain of the Drakov... This is one of the worst and most cliched villains of MCU. He doesn't have any motivation. He's angry because he's angry. Even 15 years ago, it would have been a shame to show such a level of a villain, since such films as "Spider-Man 1-2" and "Batman: The Begins"were already released.

Well, small moments:

You can forget about the situation in Budapest with Barton and put, of course, not in the same row, but next to the eye of Fury, Ralph Boner and Mandarin.

The graphics are also sagging in places. You can see how 3D models and scenes shot on a green background are drawn.

There are a few more bad moments, but they cannot be described without spoilers.

Of the advantages, only the intro at the beginning of the film, Elena Belova and the scene after the credits. The Red Guardian is a good character in itself, but it is not remembered in any way, except for the scene with pulling on the costume.
