Great To See Natasha Back

It is so good to see Natasha back in the MCU -- even if she feels a bit sidelined at times. When she is on screen, she is fantastic, proving that Scarlett Johansson was born to play this role.

Even If She's Sidelined

Many viewers will be going into this movie thinking the character is dead, so why should they care, and honestly, that is how it seems Marvel approached this film as well.

Florence Pugh

The introduction of Florence Pugh's Yelena Belova feels like the main point of this film. Pugh's acting skills cannot be doubted in this movie, as she steals scene after scene. The script seems to have been written to allow this character to shine, and capture the hearts of Marvel fans everywhere.

Her chemistry with Johansson is incredible, and the two of them have some of the best moments of the film together. It is a shame this duo will not be seen again in the MCU, considering that Natasha gave her life in order to save the universe, because their relationship is a fun one to watch. The bickering and the poking fun shows their sisterly unbreakable bond  -- and it is clear from the very start.

How Is Taskmaster?

Taskmaster is a powerful villain in Marvel Comics with an interesting backstory, and unfortunately, the character feels very underused in Black Widow. There is a lot of untapped potential here that will have Taskmaster fans feeling disappointed.

Black Widow Review

Black Widow is packed with action and offers a bit more insight into Natasha Romanoff and how she became the person she is. However, this movie feels more like an introduction and set up for what is to come, than the solo film this character deserves.
