Black Widow [Blu-ray]

This action packed origin story of Black Widow (Natasha Romanov) is a highly entertaining, heartbreaking, yet touching and funny film that fits nicely into the Marvel universe. The chemistry developed with her “surrogate/fake” spy family is genuine and really the center of this film. Some critics were rough on this film, but I think they missed the boat on this one. It was way better, start to finish, than any of the naysayers said. Florence Pugh is an absolutely adorable stunner, the first film I’ve seen with her. She’s perfect as Romanov’s “better than. blood” sister. The overall tone of this film is indeed different from other Marvel films, but this is a good thing. Be sure to get all the way through the credits for a little extra Easter egg scene implying future films developing this side story.

Sad yet it's a needed back story. I expected more violence

Another rollercoaster ride from the Marvel franchise. Hold onto your seat. Very dark in parts, but heartwarming and human in the end.

First one was missing digital code, Amazon swapped it out and the second one was fine.

If you are not a Marvel comic book superhero/superheroine fan; then you will see this as just another movie with a "bad@$$ female" lead. If you are already familiar with the Marvel comic book character Black Widow then this will give you a bit more about where the character originated. The movie overall is a good "movie night" action flick that has an actual storyline that you can follow. The action is NOT so over-the-top that while you are watching you're thinking "there is no way...." Several critics kinda panned this movie, but I found it to be entertaining. (As I like action movies). Scarlett Johannson does a great job and so does the actress that plays her sister!

The Black Widow movie is brilliant and lots of action. 😀👍

One of Marvel’s best! And to think we almost didn’t get this show!
