About Black Widow

In Marvel Studios’ action-packed spy thriller “Black Widow,” Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow confronts the darker parts of her ledger when a dangerous conspiracy with ties to her past arises. Pursued by a force that will stop at nothing to bring her down, Natasha must deal with her history as a spy and the broken relationships left in her wake long before she became an Avenger. Scarlett Johansson reprises her role as Natasha/Black Widow, Florence Pugh stars as Yelena, David Harbour portrays Alexei/The Red Guardian, and Rachel Weisz is Melina. Directed by Cate Shortland and produced by Kevin Feige, “Black Widow”—the first film in Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe— will launch simultaneously in theaters and on Disney+ with Premier Access in most Disney+ markets on July 9, 2021.

Did we like it?

It is a good summer blockbusster movie  with a lot of action scenes that will keep you glued to your seat. Compared to other Marvel movies, this is one is not as amazing as for example End Game, however, it is a great movie to watch in theaters. (we went to the theater for the first time since 2020, and we followed all safety protocols). The movie will be  also available on Disney +, which means you can watch it from the comfort of your couch.

The acting is good, the story is dark, so I wouldn't recommend it for little kids. The sound track is dreamy and although I think the character development could had been better, I can say with confidence that this is the movie that you want to watch on the big screen.
