Black Widow

[Nostalgiabuff]

we watched it last night. it was good, i enjoyed it, but it was not great. probably on Par with Black Panther, better than Cpt. Marvel. a lot of humor, including poking fun at Natasha. i liked the Yelena character and clearly she is being set up to take over as BW

[Bruce Banner]

Some good action set-pieces, and some strong acting, but the movie is largely mediocre overall, IMHO.

Well boyfriend & I just got back from watching Black Widow and it was good. For a movie that they are trying to sandwich in it works. The MCU is deferent from the Marvel Universe with its characters but for the most part they were all part of the comic book Black Widow's past. I did like the fact that they left it open for more Black Widow sequels while setting up the Thunderbolt or Dark Avengers.

I will provide the Comic Book bio for the characters for those who have not read any of the Black Widow books or stories:
