Natasha Romanov: Black Widow Appreciation 2021

[chicago_bastard]

Today I attended a press screening of the BW movie. Loved it. Guess at this point after ten years of missed opportunities it delivers what one could hope for. It has more direct references to Nat's comics than I thought and not only to the Waid/Samnee run. Watch it in theaters if you can.

Great to hear that! Looking forward to it.

Sounds like it has a high rewatch value.

[chicago_bastard]

Yeah I'll definitely watch it again on opening night and maybe even a third time.

Oh and don't worry if you come around Twitter guys claiming that Natasha is sidelined for Florence Pugh's Yelena. Florence is great but it's still Nat's movie. Just a case of a flashier and funnier performance being mistaken for better than a more subtle approach (that is absolutely fitting for Nat) which often happens (see guys claiming that Pitt outshines DiCaprio in OUATIH).

Sucks we've had to wait for a Black Widow solo, this should be her second at least. I actually wanted a Black Widow trilogy. Glad you loved it!

Do we have a preview for Black Widow #8 tomorrow?

This is something that I saw in a review on Twitter, so I'm glad to hear it's not necessarily true!

Heard some people say it was boring and cliched but had decent action.
Also recent ScarJo interview doesn't help my faith in the movie
(Not expecting any S*xy Hijinks but when people start to complain about that stuff it's usually to back up a bad movie)
I'm torn about cinema or just seeing it on someone's laptop.
Thoughts?

Boring is a highly subjective term I'd thus never use in a movie review but if you trust the opinion of these guys that's fine. I'd say if you liked the character in say The Avengers and Winter Soldier then chances are high you'll enjoy this one.

I think I know what interview you are referring to and one has to see the context. It was part of a press junket and that particular question came from a certain media outlet and was already asked in a suggestive way so Scarlett somehow got carried away in her answer. From all other interviews it's pretty clear that she loved playing the role, it's only the depiction in Iron Man 2 she partly has issues with because she thinks Nat was mostly reduced to her looks there and honestly she has a point. She has one badass fight scene in IM2 and that's basically it. I never heard her complain about her parts in the other MCU movies she was in though. Also the new movie has a pretty long shot of Scarlett's behind despite being directed by a female and Scarlett acting as executive producer, furthermore solidifying that she doesn't have a problem with these kind of scenes in general as long as the character isn't reduced to them.

So I don't think that comment was made to back up a bad movie. If my screening is an indicator the majority of reviews should tend to positive.

Boring and cliché is what trolls use to make themselves sound avant garde and it shows them as pretentious.

The truth is there are a handful of human experience tropes. Being creative with and executing said tropes in a well acted, meaningful way is what I look for most times.
Sometimes I just want to watch crazy action(physics be darned) or cheer for a character I like regardless of actors chops(Riddick for example).

With Black Widow we have the Marvel track record so it'll be good and the haters have been out there since Guardians of the Galaxy debuted.

I honestly wonder if that's just become a staple of movie Black Widow but I might be thinking of the first two Avengers movies (and Whedon, so...yeah).
