Review of Black Widow (2021) by Dcgraca — 09 Jul 2021
Pros:
+ Lorne Balfe's Soundtrack.
+ The action sequences.
+ Scarlett and Pugh's Acting.
+ The dark tone it has lying underneath.
+ Red Guardian was fun and Melina was okay.
+ Good villains (not great; Taskmaster was badass and Dreykov felt like a real threat).
+ (Female) Empowerement done right Cons:
- The pacing.
- The post-credit scene (while the goodbye was great, Valentina and the Hawkeye set up was a bit disappoiting considering it's the first post credit scene we get in theaters after Far From Home).
- The nods to the Avengers could be trimmed down.
- Lots of characters added nothing to the plot (Ross and Mason added nothing to the overall story).
- Lots of questions to answers that could have easily been answered.
- Didn't work as a Swan Song.
- Taskmaster was severely underused Overall: Good and entertaining movie that kinda bugs me as the first movie in the MCU's Phase 4. Felt a bit like Iron Man 3 whereas the plot overall didn't affect the Infinity Saga and I believe this one's plot won't affect much of the MCU's new saga. But super enjoyable and fun.
