It's release long delayed because of Covid 'Black Widow' is, as I've heard remarked elsewhere, a bit of a shrug of a movie. Set after the events of 'Captain America: Civil War' (2016) but before those of 'Avengers: Endgame' (2018) there is only so much suspense possible as we already know Natasha Romanoff's fate. We do get some more back story and the family/interpersonal stuff is the best thing this movie has going for it, from 'The American's'-esque opening sequence in 1990's Ohio, to a truly awkward family dinner in the Russia of 2016.
The main plot is mostly a pointless retread, I did not care for the villain and thought the ending, frankly pretty stupid. This movie is more connective tissue then red meat and I frankly wish they'd made the darn thing sooner. Florence Pugh however should make a good addition to the franchise and David Harbor's always fun. **
