6/10

Black Widow is filled with fantastic action-packed sequences, fun comedic beats, and themes of family, even while it shortchanges Natasha herself.

Though this movie was developed way too late in the MCU, it's far from the trainwreck some comic book fans like to paint it as. Black Widow gives a much better look into the lives of the young women in the program than any other MCU project, fleshing out Natasha in a way all of her previous appearances didn't. It also does the honor of introducing Florence Pugh and David Harbour as Yelena and Alexei. Seeing the family dynamic that developed between this group of spies, which included little girls who knew no other way of life, is fascinating. It makes me wish for more Black Widow content - not necessarily with Natasha - in the MCU to further explore the reach and ramifications of the program.

I honestly think this movie is underappreciated. Yes, Scarlett Johansson's Natasha deserved a solo movie years before she finally got one, but this is such a fascinating look into the environment that raised her and the family she had before the Avengers. Florence Pugh's Yelena is one of the best post-Endgame MCU newcomers, and the sisterly dynamic she shares with Natasha is the heart of this movie. That, plus the grounded action, make this a movie I wish people talked about more.

Actualy one of my favorite movies for MARVEL UNIVERSE.. Shame that they left it so late , in the saga - had it been released say before IronMan 3 - it would have been treated better.. By the press etc… I think it’s a very good origin movie… All good for me ..
