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

(Mauro Lanari).

A prequel in which Marvel's action ridicules the self-styled psychological depth of the protagonist and her supporting actors. The miscasting is stellar: the beauties (Kurylenko) become horrendously disfigured, the fatties (Harbor) become the Russian counterpart of Captain America, and the widers than tall (Johansson, Weisz) become extraordinary superheroines. The childlike tricks are borrowed from the saga of "Mission: Impossible", while the substance is once again advertising for the political correctness ("Save the female Children"). And if the seriousness must arrive with "Smell Like Teen Spirit" chosen as opening song of the film or citing "The Shining" with the pun "Red Room" / "Murder", whose first comics' appearance occurs in "Black Widow" no. 3, January 2005, then the limit is abundantly exceeded.
