Review of Black Widow (2021) by Itisme3Movies — 11 Jul 2021

Black Widow (2021) Just finished it. It is everything wrong with the MCU... long, boring, sanitised, with good action sequences that are also ultimately boring as people can not even get a scratch yet alone have any kind of setback. The MCU is like a paint by numbers colouring book. It is so formulaic that there is no room for it to breath and this film is so bogged down that the story dose not even really start for like an hour into it and by then I could give a toss. This is why Guardians and Thor 3 stood out so much, as like them or hate them, they were legitimate films with their own style. This is pretty much identical to Falcon and the Winter soldier TV show. I could probably make a fun cut for youtube of the two and no one would even notice when it was the lame tv show or the lame film. I like my movies a little more raw, more dangerous. I do not want my anti-hero to steal a car in the middle of a chance and then have a conversation about how stealing cars is not something you can just do. Also the end credit scene is a advertisement for the Hawkeye TV Show.. this is a good example of how far the MCU has fallen.

Verdict : A Long boring film with well done action sequences that are ultimately boring as well, with some decent jokes. This is easily in the bottom of the barrel for the MCU, not fighting for worst, but maybe for a spot somewhere in the bottom 8.
