How is this rated as 79% when the movie hasn’t even released yet?

Because Natasha is always described as this awesome super spy, I really thought this movie would be kind of an over-the-top James Bond movie. I mean, you've got a Soviet Big Bad Guy with an evil lair and evil plan, like in the old school Bond films. I was very happy early on in the movie, with the Soviet agents couple undercover in Ohio, and then when Nat tries to lay low after Civil War. But then it switched from a potentially cool spy movie (and original for a Marvel) to a classic super hero movie.

So instead we got an over-the-top Agents of SHIELD episode. Every hero is sub-par, except Taskmaster, which doesn't even get that much screen time. The second most powerful hero, Red Guardian, is ridiculed all the time and doesn't really have an opportunity to shine. I thought the prison escape would be that. I mean, Netflix did a crazy good prison fight scene in The Punisher, but Marvel couldn't even remotely top that in a huge production? Very disappointed by all the missed opportunities.

Thank you Scarlett Johansson and Cate Shortland for an amazing movie with emotions, laughter and kick ass action.

You want my honest opinion ?

[spoiler]
- A boring, uninteresting story taken right out of a Bond movie. Shoehorned in between events we've already seen.
- Humor that isn't the least bit funny.
- About 45 minutes too long. All the family reunion stuff did absolutely nothing for me.
- Generic action scenes with at times below average looking CGI
- Zero emotional investement
- Hilarious Russian accents [/spoiler]

Conclusion: [spoiler] dissapointing [/spoiler]

Probably one of the worst villains in the entire mcu so far. They really messed up with taskmaster.

Weakest Marvel movie I’ve watched so far....unfortunately...

Black Widow - Truly The Action Packed Movie That We Hope For Marvel With Some Fun Characters From The Life Of Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow - Keep In Mind This Movie Takes Place Right After Avengers Ultron & The Sakovia Accords & Before Avengers Endgame - So They Don't Knos Thanos Yet But They Had To Deal Dark Side Of The Black Widow Program & Task Master

The Movie Is Action Packed & Its Nice To See A Marvel Movie In The Theater Again & Hoping To See More Soon - And Stay After The Credits - All I Can Say Is One Thing

Am I the only one who is sad we didn't get a flashback to Budapesh with Hawkeye? Really a missed opportunity Marvel!! Also thought it would be more of an origin story than what it actually turned to be. The action was nice and everything but still I'm disappointed

Reminds me of a G.I. Joe movie and I don't say that complimentary. Pugh was amazing and she stole the show and I am now a fan of hers so that was one good thing but this movie was boring and not grounded at all and I know that sounds silly talking about a Marvel movie but this is Black Widow. Why did they treat Taskmaster like Deadpool in Wolverine? What a travesty and waste of a character. Not for me at all and that is fine. If people like it then good and they shouldn't be offended I don't. I'll never watch it again and that is okay.

Shallow characters, empty, boring and cliche storyline - apart from being a Marvel movie, nothing is really great about this one.
And we didn't even get to know what really happened in Budapest - but at least as a hungarian, I'm glad they cleared how we say Budapest. :laughing:

it's exactly what you expect now from Marvel, a generic movie that doesn't feel like it has to try anymore. there comes a point when you can no longer suspend your disbelief with movies like this, characters like Thor, Iron Man etc getting thrown around and getting back up straight away i can buy because they are built to take the punishment, but when Natasha is getting thrown around, through the air and into walls with barely an injury to show for it, i can no longer suspend my disbelief. at 1 point, Natasha and her sister take a really nasty tumble in a vehicle which by all rights should have killed them, but nope, they get up and walk away from it. David Harbour's Red Guardian is wasted by being nothing more than comedy relief and also by being portrayed as a bad dad. Ray Winstone's character is quite frankly a boring forgettable villain and Taskmaster, or should i say Taskmistress, yep, they gender swapped him is turned into just another brainwashed victim of the villain. the action scenes, of which there are very few are broken up by tired family drama

[7.7/10] A strong swan song for Black Widow in the MCU. The theme of "family" is not particularly subtle, but still potent, built on a great dynamic among the principals. Scarlett Johansson, Florence Pugh, David Harbour, and Rachel Weisz do a great job of giving their makeshift family of spooks that lived-in feel, with the shorthand frustrations and affections that make the movie play as a magnified version of genuine family issues. Oddly enough, the movie's at its best when it's a kitchen sink family drama.

But the action and superheroic material works well too. Homages to everything from Winter Soldier to Jason Bourne to Moonraker are palpable and well done, and the movie puts a period (or at least a semicolon) on Black Widow's Red Room origins. But I found myself more drawn to the character elements here, of Natasha feeling like she's lost two families and questioning whether it's worth it to try to repair either. That's a fitting way to add emotional stakes to her exit from the Marvel-verse, and ultimately, she lands in a good place, hair flip or no.

ITS NOT RELEASING TODAY BUT AT 28 OF HJUNE
