Black Widow Review

Black Widow is the first MCU movie to hit theaters in two years. Also available on Disney Plus via their premier access, it is also the first MCU movie in phase 4. Black Widow picks up with its titular character not too long after Captain America: Civil War. However, since diehard fans and even casual moviegoers are well aware of her faith, the movie's biggest issue is how out of place it feels. Black Widow joins WandaVision, The Falcon and Winter Soldier, and Loki as post-infinity saga installments. Except for the post-credit scene, the entire movie takes place in a pre-blimp world. This ultimately leaves the stakes extremely low. The biggest knock on the movie has to be the introduction and characterization of the fan-favorite villain, Task Master. Black Widow isn't all bad though. With those few flaws aside there is a lot to enjoy about the movie. Florence Pugh's Yelena Belova was the highlight of the movie along with David Harbour as Red Guardian. The chemistry between the family was an overall highlight, which makes it even worse to think we may not see them together again. What did you think about Black Widow? Was it a good send-off for the MCU's first heroin or was it too late? Let us know in the comments and tweet us at @nerdingwfriends with your thoughts!
