[@hollyro4665]

I’m not sure. At the end of the day they can only do so much with an already very established character. Without just doing a Ragnarok again which to be fair I wouldn’t be mad at. And if every character was as generally serious as Natasha is, it would have been a boring typical action movie not really offering much in the way of charisma so they did well with what they had

[@jacquelinelugo5518]

I'm so upset at this. They did Scarlett Johansson so dirty. So they gave Brie Larson and Captin Marvel her own movie. Before Black Widow, a character that has been around since Iron Man 2. Cause the old farts at Disney didn't think a female led superhero movie could sell. Which makes no sense, since Scarlett was already an A list actress. I'm gonna quote Jeremy Jahans in his review. The movie we all wanted to see in 2014

Tbh they did want to make Black Widow movie but its just that because of the Ike Perlmutter situation, it just was too late to make a decent one... I mean Marvel Studios wanted a R rated Black Widow movie before Iron Man and kickstart the MCU with that but that didn't happen & its pretty clear that Feige wanted to make one after Age of Ultron but the Ike Perlmutter situation was resolved at a time when Infinity Saga was coming to an end and Marvel Studios became too much busy producing 3 movies simultaneously (IW, CAPTAIN MARVEL & ENDGAME) ... So the story they had in their hands wasn't top notch bit they just wanted to be done with it & give the black Widow mantle to someone new.. but i do think the movie we got could've done better with a better analysed story

It was just an okay movie for me. a Black Widow 1 movie should have been the beginning 10min Prologue, then Red Room growing up (not as a montage but at least show how they are really trained/treated there). Afterwards, Natasha going on Team or Solo Missions eventually wanting to escape from it. That is when she stumbles on to Shield and/or Bartan. Leading up to the Climax Mission of Budapest. After they escape from the Special Forces, Natasha should have reported to Fury for her first mission and Fury would have given her Tony Stark's File. This would not contradict any established lore in my opinion as in Natasha's mind, the Red Room is gone. Though she still did not care to try and rejoin with Yelena. Whether this has something to do with what happened in the Red Room or a clause in her arrangement with Shield, I don't know. The second half of this movie we got could have been a Black Widow 2 where Nat realizes the Red Room is still active. By separating this part into its own movie as a sequel they can better establish and build up characters rather than just building up Yelena and Alexei (depending on how you look at how they used Alexei). But it was really too late to make my idea for a Black Widow 1 as they needed to have done it before Civil War I believe. And Black Widow 2 could have come after which makes it more properly line up with the releases.

[@alinac5512]

The opening credits were the best part of the movie hands down, that should have been the movie. The red room, the Thriller, the grittyness, the dark origin story we all wanted. And as you said: it should have happened way earlier.

It’s no secret that this movie was Pugh’s introduction. They literally said as much during production because Yelena is going to be taking the mantle and will be the be the new frontrunner of the MCU and will also continue the rest of the Black Widow trilogy around her. So it’s not supposed to feel like just a Natasha story as it has to work as the first in yelenas trilogy also. But I agree that Natasha should’ve gotten her own trilogy long ago, and not just a role in a different black widows trilogy 10 years later.

Pretty sure this movie had an agenda. Not any social or political agenda, but just one to set up yelena and the widows outside of the red room. Natasha really did get sidelined for her own movie.

Not gonna lie, I didn't like that Dreykov's daughter was another mindless slave. At that point, you could switch her out for any other Widow (I would have even preferred that because that would mean that Natasha intentionally killed a child for no reason but, in her past, that was an acceptable price). Imagine this though, she smashes a vial to release Taskmaster and it doesn't work because she's not mind controlled, she's just pissed and indoctrinated the same way Natasha was. One final fight gets her knocked out and arrested by Ross (or, she runs away to plot some more). Making her mind controlled kind of erases some of the darkness from Natasha where her actions... kind of had no consequences. Who's to say Dreykov wouldn't have mind controlled his daughter once she grew up anyway? All Natasha did in the end, was slightly disfigure a girl that would end up wearing a mask for most of her formative years anyway.

Like he literally just was a guy in the movie that got stuff for her and seemed like they were setting up some kind of romance, this is why it feels like it’s a second movie they were dead setting up some kind of romantic tension god knows why. This movie could have been so good if they just committed to telling the story really thought they were going to reference the comics and how the winter soldier was part of the training in the red room and you know just talk about the ballet that is such an intergalactic part of black widows character origin but like nah, they just made a movie so it would be like they didn’t give her her own movie. It’s amazing how must of the character growth of this character and just the most interesting parts came out of winter soldier and the small spotlight that was given to her. That movie somehow succeeded in making her a complex haunted character just trying to do right and gain some form of forgiveness more than her own 2hr movie could.

The breakdown of Black Widow as a trilogy OMG 🤯 I would pay to see those movies

[@nnn326]

Black Widow was the first marvel movie I actually like because of the story. I wish she could've stayed. Marvel really said we don't care about afabs here. 😕

[@jasonlubold3066]

How does a channel that has such awesome content not have way way more subscribers.🤔😤🤯

[@katemurray8201]

Loved the movie! Hated that she only got one after she died.

[@jonq.public5892]

It was a tie-in to the big events like in the Comics. It's my theory that Disney+ shows are going to be the tie-ins.

[@Favelize]

*I'm sorry but I thought this movie was awesome despite the weird timeline that it came out*

[@Maya-qf3vm]

Honestly same! My family and I loved it.

[@andywiggs1]

Me too!!

[@adamarycurtis7016]

I do love the Pugh filmography just meshed in there.

[@Hanakin-Sidewalker]

7:11 Nice Iron Maiden (band) reference!

[@JoshuaHenelyThornhill]

I had so much fun with my best friend watching this movie. But it did felt like a big moment for Florence instead of a big moment for ScarJo. I wish her send off would have been as amazing as Chris or Robert but hey at the very least if the movie makes good money there’s that I suppose. Still a freaking shame really.

[@faiyazsaqifkhansummit792]

In line with ripping off a recently released action film they also hired the same composer (Lorne Balfe) who had very similar sound beats to the point where I literally felt that Henry Cavill and his DCEU crippling mustache would pop up.

[@9786oof]

I can’t believe he asked her about her underwear

[@purpleplanetary]

Absolutely disguising

[@Anthonycheesman33]

I wish they did get the cinematographer from mission impossible shit at least it would have been better.

[@lopsangdlama]

Movie on Budapest arc would be great

[@TheCaliforniaboy1]

I applaud for saying you're not impressed with MCU lately. I'm not either. I liked Wandavision. I felt like Falcon and WS was a kinda meh and Loki was interesting at the end but still I wasn't completely sold on Loki's turning a new leaf. There's also seems to be a blatant formula that every MCU film has done that being used in recent series and movies including this one. Idk. I'm hoping for Multiverse of Madness to clean it all up.

[@mwakampundu239]

The questions about her undergarments make me feel sick. 😭

[@alittleantidote5852]

A PROPER RED ROOM ORIGIN WAS ALLL I WANTED What little we see in Agent Carter and the rest of the MCU wasn't enough

[@adolfopena7358]

I don't care what anyone says. I still highly enjoyed this movie.

[@samueltheprideofafrikarobi9319]

I enjoyed this film, and I'll no doubt buy it on Blu-Ray (If they release it in today's world physically), but at the end of the day, I still hold to what I said about this film 3 years ago when I remember hearing that it was in development.................we already have a solid Black Widow movie, and it's called Red Sparrow.

[@lachyboi1442]

Lisssssssten just slaps

[@TekkLuthor]

I'm glad you didn't shill for this movie. They also dumbed all the men down to make the women look good

[@a8uella]

I really wanted mason to be taskmaster

[@TEKKENKING23]

Yeah that would have been a little bit better then what they did with taskmaster.

[@edwardfarladasniy9241]

The young black widow actress has really good Russian and I’m really happy one person didnt have an American accent when speaking Russian

[@COLE_PRODUCTIONS]

Not a single mention of the Hulk as the last OG, with Thor and Hawkeye

[@ChattinBoxingWYB]

Timing is what ruined the release of the movie. It should have been released straight after Civl War! It would have a made at least 700 million dollars.

[@AliceWanders]

I was looking forward to this movie. I was so excited. I was hyping it up to everyone "oooh its gonna be sooo good!!!" I have never been more disappointed in a film, and i actually fell asleep

[@covagotnext8337]

This movie definitely deserved to go straight to disney + I saw this in theaters when it came out and I was disappointed. Could've just watched on my phone

[@viciousbane569]

I thought the film was meh and quite frankly disappointed. None of the action scenes were memorable. I didn’t except them to have over the top action kinda like F&F. Red Guardian was wack and was useless. Florence Pugh did a excellent job and can’t wait to see her in more MCU projects! The story wasn’t great either nor the dialogue, the cinematography looked kinda nice but at times very bland. At least it was way better than Captain Marvel.

[@Yor795]

I'm surprised you didn't talk about the post credits scene

[@alghifarifarhanmuzakki354]

sure you haven't seen the video till the end

[@Devilsblood]

This just makes me grateful that I never kept up with the MCU movies.

[@elsad5810]

So Taskmaster was basically the bad X-Men Origins' Deadpool, half the movie was kinda pretty much Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and Natasha was a side character in what was Yelena's origin story.
