Black Widow movie review: Natasha Romanoff deserves better

Firstpost  

Black Widow is in many ways a consolation movie — made after much criticism and pressure from the fans, and it feels like just that — a movie for the sake of one which not only adds little to the MCU, it does little for this character. Marvel’s latest movie Black Widow is a prequel, designed to give Nat her own standalone movie, and finally give us the story of her origins. Through Nat’s strained equation with her newly reunited fake spy family, the movie tries to delve into the trauma of having your childhood stolen and forming real attachments with strangers for whom you are ‘just a job.’ But I could never quite buy the extent of their connection or more importantly, their pain — here reduced to tired quips and bland banter. In the end, as a “it’s been a while since we’ve had the big MCU movie experience” Black Widow is never not enjoyable.
