Review of Black Widow (2021) by Marvelmovielove — 11 Aug 2021

This movie was absolutely fantastic! I don’t understand why a lot of people are turning it down so much. Sure we got Scarlett Johanssons standalone film after her character had died, but it’s a prequel movie that delves deep into her past.

And sure I can agree that may be some of the humor was overplayed but that won’t stop me from giving it a 10. The thing that’s so great about this movie is the characters that are introduced, such as Florence pughs Yelena.

She completely carries the movie it is an absolute amazing addition to the MCU. I cannot wait to see what she does in the Hawkeye series! David and Rachel are amazing too and hope they will return as well.

The other thing that’s great is that they touch on so many issues with men overpowering women and making them feel like objects. The movie is literally about chemically altering girls around the world and using them for Dreykovs own purposes.

At the end of the film, all the windows are free and have the chance to make their own choices. Another great thing was the taskmaster twist. It was a twist that I did not see coming at all. Having it be Dreykovs daughter was the perfect way for Natasha‘s past to really come back and haunt her so that she could challenge it and make up for her mistakes.

And for anyone who is deeply upset by this, the MCU is not an actual comic book roller coaster, they are adaptations from the comics and grow into their own organic substance. But there are even reports that the taskmaster will return it in more common accurate forms so that will be fun to see! Scarlett Johansson really pushes herself in this movie.

She gives the audience one last blockbuster film with her as the fantastic black widow. Of course we all knew that she was going to die in avengers endgame, but in the third act when the red room falls from the sky, it takes me out of the knowledge I already know and puts me on the edge of my seat wondering if she or the other characters would survive.

And for anyone who said that the third act it’s just a CGI mess and that it’s rushed, they are absolutely insane and should get checked out by a mental health doctor. The twists were fantastic and the action was fantastic and everything else about it was fantastic! So think about judging a movie by its flaws before realizing the greater goodness that surrounds the whole production.
