Black Widow

 

Black Widow                                                                    July 19, 2021

If you are a fan of the marvel movies, you would have been waiting in anticipation for this one. The pandemic has pushed all of the big movie releases back and everyone I know has been feeling a little marvel withdraw. I know Disney + has been releasing a lot of teaser shows such as Loki and Wanda Vision to name a couple. Sadly, these just don’t have the power to capture my attention as a movie does.

This movie also features a woman as the lead, which is almost unheard of. Thankfully, times are changing. Brie Larson played as Captain Marvel and although it did well at the box office – it was not that great. I personally had no connection to the character and found it lacking in every way. Black Widow, however, has been in our lives for ten years, we like her, we know her, we root for her. This movie was different. It was interesting, it had a great back story, it was well put together, it had emotion and familiarity. It pulled you in and kept your attention. Some have said it is too dark but I thought it had just the right amount of dark with a mix of dry humor and an interesting family bond. Scarlett Johansson was great, as is expected, the surprisingly wonderful new character was Florence Pugh, who plays the sister in this movie. It is because of her that I am looking forward to the next Marvel movie. I think we can expect great things from her looking forward.

Of all the marvel movies, this is my new favorite. If you loved the Natasha Romanoff character in the previous movies – you are going to love this one as well.
