MCU: Black Widow

[E.H. Ruddock]

Was hoping this was going to be a more "serious" movie but from the previews it looks pretty lighthearted and jokey.

[E.H. Ruddock]

These previews look awful. I don’t think i want to see this

[psychobain]

So?

[VinylGuy]

going tomorrow to see it...first time since godzilla vs kong on a theatre

cant wait

[BurtReynolds]

I'm desperate to watch something in a theater and its either this or Fast and Furious 27 so...

Spoiler: show

- Kind of a watered down Winter Soldier. No, that's exactly what it is.

- Johansson is very dull and lifeless, but the supporting cast is good. I liked the little sister.

- not the best send off for the character, but they could do worse.

- Typical Marvel

Should have seen F9 Burt

Should have seen F9 Burt

Is it about family?

[wease]

I loved it.

Spoiler: show

While being a final goodbye to Natasha, it introduces a new direction for a Black Widow in a post-Avengers MCU. By the re-introduction of Contessa, I pretty much guessed why she showed up, but not WHY. Is she putting together some sort of assassin squad? Who’s she working for? She’s turning out to be the Phase 4 Nick Fury and I’m very excited to see where it goes.

While not the best Marvel movie, it’s certainly not the worst.

It was fine; I enjoyed it. Solid B/B+. Tonally, it did feel like a bit schizophrenic.

The timeline placement was a good idea and eliminated the need for yet another origin story movie that relies on multiple actresses and CGI. It does feel, however, like Marvel continues to pull their punches on depicting her upbringing and all the bad shit she did to make her "ledger" run red with blood. We've really only ever seen the "chaotic good" version of Natasha. Balancing that with a bit of her assassin stuff would've been nice to see. Also surprised we didn't get to finally see a flashback to the Budapest Incident (though it was well described).

[Rangi Guy]

This was alright I guess. Maybe I'm just over the whole Marvel thing

[VinylGuy]

it was fine yeah. Nothing groundbreaking at all. The last 20 minutes were super boring.

[Mickey]

Should have seen F9 Burt

Yeah lmao this is such an easy choice and you fucked it up.

[BurtReynolds]

I've seen 2 FF movies, and they fucking sucked. I dont know if I can try again.

Yeah, FF movies are the dirt worst. I never knew action could be so damn boring.

[daft twat]

This was fucking great, and this is why:

I like superheroes that aren’t gods or androids. She should have died from blunt force trauma multiple times for sure, but the fighting was more like a Bourne movie, and I appreciate that so much more than shit like Vision fighting White Vision or whatever that video game scene was.

The supporting cast is great, and I really liked the little sister. If she’s going to be a major part of the Hawkeye show, I’m all in. I hope she’s in multiple movies going forward.

Not showing the Budapest incident was smart. Remember when they showed the Kessel Run in Solo? Some things are better left to the imagination.

This was a Mission: Impossible movie with a but more humor. David Harbour is a ham, but he made me laugh more than once (putting on the suit and the Ace Ventura dart thing). Falcon and Winter Soldier could have used more humor. That should have been superhero Lethal Weapon, and they blew it.

The Widows is really fun concept. During the short training sequence in The Red Room, I wanted some Robert Palmer music.

This movie is a B+. It isn’t anywhere near Avengers 1, Guardians 1, Ragnarok, or Winter Soldier, but I enjoyed it more than more than half of the Marvel movies, for sure.

[epilogue]

I agree with a lot of what you said, dt. I also really liked this movie. I'd probably rate it a tad higher, personally. I thought it was a win all around.

I really liked it as well. The sister and her Dad were hilarious IMHO. Defo the highlight for me.

It was entertaining. And I loved the end credit scene. A nice little twist.

[Revelator]

Great feedback. I'm motivated to watch this now. Plus Johannson's ass is still frigin amazing. That's enough to watch in itself

[E.H. Ruddock]

I don't know when it happened, probably sometime around 40, but I can't remember the last time I watched a non-porn movie just because someone has an amazing ass

I don’t know if I’ve ever done that.
