The music from Lorne Balfe is big and boisterous even if it is mostly generic.

The direction is a bit flat from Cate Shortland and the cinematography is all grey scale like so many MCU entries before it. Taskmaster is cool in battle and has some depth in backstory but has a surprisingly predictable identity reveal. His lair is big and over-the-top, and he lacks any kind of serious depth of characterization.

Villains? Ray Winstone’s Dreykov is a Bond villain more-or-less but right out of one of the bad ones. But not enough to knock the film down too much. But in the end, this is an action and family filled adventure.ĭoes Black Widow fall into some of the pitfalls of the franchise in general? Honestly, it hits on most of them. She is joined on her journey to finally destroy the organization that created her (The Red Room) but with an assist from her “father”, “mother”, and most importantly her “sister.” The film follows some standard spy movie tropes and focuses a lot of time on backstory and future world building. Jump ahead 20 years, Natasha is on the run in the aftermath of Captain America: Civil War. The opening moments set up Natasha’s childhood that comes crashing down as they must leave America. She brings her WHOLE family long for the ride. But this is not truly a “solo” outing for Natasha. We are swept from place to place by maguffins and new characters. What will this film be about? Will we get the sendoff that many believe she did not get?īut the day has come…and what kind of film did we get? Black Widow is a globe-trotting spy film in the vein of James Bond. After the events of Avengers: Endgame, Natasha’s fate has been in question. On top of that, the long-gestating Black Widow project has been in development for way too long. We lucked out that we got a few Disney+ series this year but this is different. The two years of waiting between Spiderman: Far From Home and Black Widow has felt like an eternity. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is back! As a huge fan of the franchise, the past two years have been tough.
