This film is enjoyable and provides a great back story to the Black Widow character. However, knowing what happens to the character in Endgame it seems a bit pointless.
Not the best or worst Marvel film but definitely worth a watch.
A really good film, very humorous (which was unexpected) but made the film an incredible one! The acting and the storyline is really well done. The DVD itself played well on my PlayStation and the English subtitles worked well.
Everything you think you knew about the Black Widow, think again! This is an epic movie that leads on and opens up to so much more with the Marvel franchise. The introduction of new characters and fills in so much on he past history. We would happily watch this over and over again, as I’m sure there are still things we hadn’t notice, seen or thought about. Thought provoking, in a Marvel Universe way as well as very well cast, acted and produced.
This is one that must be part of your Marvel Collection!!
I don’t have 4K so a 6.99 DVD is 10.00 less. At that price it is a great buy. Black Widow’s family rally round and help her win, and hey! They’re all still alive by the end. The baddy is the reason it doesn’t get 5 stars. Ray Winston plays a Russian special ops general pretty much the same baddie from Equalizer, Red Sparrow et al. Great finish, but no super powers just girls pirouetting, chopping, shooting being deadly in leather.
The disc and box were new so there is no problem there, but the film its self, where do I start. The action was good and so was the acting but the storyline was lame. I brought this because I own all the other titles on blu ray, but for a characters stand alone film this was not better than thor or iron-man or captain America. Out of 10 I give 5+.
One of the weaker films in the Marvel franchise but still worth watching. I watched half an hour of it and was getting bored with it partly because I could not not make out the dialogue. It suffers from the modern malady of mumbled and indistinct speech.Having quit and switched off I left it for a day or two and tried again this time with the subtitles turned on. Again, the film takes a while to get going but eventually I became engrossed in it and enjoyed it once past the introductory scenes. The production values are as high as expected from this source and the story line is interesting, revealing Black Widow’s history. Recommended for the Avenger series fans.
Nearly didn’t get this movie when I read some of the reviews, put me off, but so so glad i did, i found it very entertaining, and at last we get some of the black widows history and how she got to where she is, so if you are a super hero fan, don’t hesitate get this for your collection immediately, well worth the money in my humble opinion, quality excellent too,i highly recommend it,.
I’m knocking a Star off my review, because Disney didn’t include the making of documentary which is on Plus. Not everyone has Disney Plus, so for 15 quid I’d have expected it to be included on the blu ray. Instead the bonus features are pretty woeful.
The film however is great fun. There’s a lovely dysfunctional family dynamic which is pretty funny. The villain’s a bit weak, but there are some great action set pieces, so it’s a pretty solid MCU film, and a good swansong for Scar Jo’s Black Widow.
This is not a bad movie. It just came about 10 years too late. It’s a good companion piece to Captain Marvel, with a better lead character in Black Widow. Mythology-wise, there’s not much here, just the odd reference or two to the Avengers, but they’re nowhere to be seen. David Harbour is fun in this, and he’s probably the only supporting actor in this that’s not upstaged by a cute pig. If I were to classify this movie based on previous Marvel entries, it’s a very low to middle of the road entry in the series.
Whilst I fully understand the reasons I was very sad when Scarlet Johansson wanted to step down as Black Widow, both because she performs the role so fantastically and because from a story perspective the Avengers will soon be lacking any natural leaders.
With the deaths of Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, Natalie Romanov and soon Thor there is a distinct lack of leadership. Whilst there are still some great Avengers left, none of them imo are leadership material yet.
The film Black Widow is a witty, entertaining and fun farewell to an awesome character. Plus the introduction of another brilliant character, played by the talented Florence Pugh, whom I hope we will see a lot more of in future films.
Though sometimes the film is a touch too sentimental, labouring the point a bit too heavily it is overall well balanced and acted with charm and humour that prevents it from getting bogged down.
A great fun superhero spy film that is well worth the watch.
Farewell Natasha, you will be missed.
This is an enjoyable action film. Some parts are a little slow but on the whole, you won’t feel the urge to fast forward. There isn’t much of a complicated plot. In fact it is a simple one about the origin of the Black Widow. The film casts the stereotype of the evil Russians, the daddy of them all being Dreykov who kidnaps young girls and chemically manipulates their minds to serve him. He then trains them into killing machines.
Nastasha, aka The Black Widow (Johansson) is the best of the best. Her parents were Russian sleeper spies with a cosy family of two daughters, Nastasha and Yelena (Florence Pugh). They fled the USA when their cover was blown, only to have Dreykov kidnap the two girls.
There is a very strong feminist statement throughout the film. It is so strong that it should be considered sexist. Virtually all the villains are men. All the heroes are women. Even the only men who might qualify as good are badly portrayed. One is the layabout servant who provides menial assistance to the Black Widow, but is mostly sleeping until awakened to do her bidding. The second is the adoptive father (David Harbour) who is really the Red Dragon, a Russian soldier-spy. He is portrayed like a pig and even has a pig, Alexis, named after him by his wife (Rachel Weisz).
over-impressed, however, as a fan of the Marvel-Movies felt as I collect
the films I should give the film a second chance to impress.
Though one of the issues I had originally remains, for me the part of an
aging Red Guardian played by David Harbour does take the edge off the
viewing pleasure a little, for myself, just found the character a bit silly,
overall, glad I did give it another go. (Note – enjoyed David Harbour in
the TV Series – Stranger Things)
The roles of Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff and Florence Pugh
as Yelena Belova. were superb
And of course the great Ray Winstone in the role of Dreykov a Russian
General who has control over thousands of young girls and women
trained to fight to order as Natasha and Yelena had once been
The plot see’s the sisters up against the villain Dreykov.
An action-packed Aveger-movie with startling special-effect sequences
to behold.
Superb on the 4k forma
Regular viewers, read on.
Here’s a solo film for superspy Black Widow, that puts her in the lead. And obviously takes place prior to her most recent appearance in these movies. You will quickly work out where in all the continuity it slots into.
We get an opening flashback scene to her origins, which does lay on some of the points it’s trying to make a bit thickly. It also introduces her parents, played by David Harbour of Stranger Things fame, and Rachel Weisz. And then there’s more of her origin, scenes to establish where as mentioned it takes place in continuity, and then more scenes to set up the plot.
So it does take a short while to settle down.
But the scenery, with moments in a couple of mainland European places, is fabulous.
The plot then gets back to her family. We meet her sister, played by Florence Pugh. And things require it be a bigger family reunion…
Two great set pieces follow. Then the best of the film, which is the family dynamic. The actors, especially Florence Pugh, are great, they all have a good dynamic together which really convinces in the writing and acting as being just like a family. And there’s good humour also.
Also introduced are villains Taskmaster. And a shadowy spy played by Ray Winstone with a somewhat variable accent. That’s a compliment.
A film of three thirds. After that crammed opening it settles down. The family stuff is great. But then it has to do lots of plot stuff. Which leads to action and a big battle, and…it’s not quite as good as the family stuff.
Taskmaster feels a bit underwhelming as a villain, and the portrayal might not please the comic nerds. But it’s all watchable enough. Although you do come away thinking that the sister makes a bigger impression than the main character. Which possibly wasn’t the intention.
This is perfectly good and watchable. But it’s been described as serviceable. Which is a good comment. Aside from a very end of the credits scene that is set up – for tv though not a coming movie – there’s nothing else desperately essential here. Still, a perfectly decent movie for what it is. Just no more, no less.
The dvd has the following language and subtitle options:
Languages: English, Spanish, French, English audio description.
Subtitles; English, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Norwegian, Spanish, Swedish, French.
For once with these dvds, probably because it doesn’t mention Disney on it just Marvel studios, the disc goes straight into the menu when loaded, without any trailers or ads. This is a nice change. It doesn’t have any extras at all though. So no change there then.
It doesn’t have a 3d version either. Because only two people want that, so it wouldn’t be economical to produce one.
