Review
A few times last year, BLACK WIDOW is getting delayed by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which also happened to the other forthcoming movies that are supposed to premiere, like Fast & Furious 9. Thankfully, it finally came out in theatres and Premier access on Disney+ in 2021. The film isn't like the typical Marvel movie that you're after that was an action-packed spy thriller packed with espionage and so on. BLACK WIDOW explains everything you need to know about the heroine, making her death in Avengers: Endgame even more tragic. The first half was impressive, especially when you learn about the character whose idyllic life was deprived of her before she became the titular Avenger she is now.
The action sequences are first-rate and explosive, with spectacular performances by Scarlett Johansson, Florence Pugh and David Harbour. It will be the last time Scarlett has ever played a character in eleven years of being in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Whereas Avengers: Endgame was a send-off to Marvel's ensemble team, BLACK WIDOW feels its plot is tying up all the loose ends to the character. Nevertheless, it is still an enjoyable movie for Marvel fans who have waited for a lifetime.
Star rating: (9/10) Excellent Movie
