Marvel’s Black Widow, directed by Cate Shortland, stars Scarlett Johansson, David Harbour, Florence Pugh, and Rachel Weisz. The film goes deep into Natasha Romanoff’s past as it explores her origin story within the MCU. The events pick up between the events from Captain America Civil War and the start of Infinity War.
In this film, there are many questions about Romanoff that are answered. First, we are introduced to members of her family. We also were able to look at how her involvement as a spy/assassin has impacted the relationship she has with her family. It is very evident to see the deep-rooted emotional scars that Romanoff carries throughout the franchise films, but now we understand why.
What is nice about this film is that the director, writers, and Scarlett do an excellent job at creating and showing multiple layers of Romanoff that we have seen before while still allowing the audience to explore this character in a brand-new way without losing any depth to her.
Overall, the film was great but also very fresh. The chemistry between Romanoff and her family was tight. I loved the little comedy added into the script and enjoyed the detailed and elaborate action and fight sequences. The movie flowed well, and I had no issue with the length of it. Florence, David, and Rachel did a great job bringing their characters to life. Their performances added more thrill to the film. Scarlett did a fantastic job with her overall performance, and the storytelling process made us fully understand her character in a newfound way.
This movie is worth seeing multiple times. I gave this film five stars!
