Considering how delayed the Film has been, me seeing it a bit late only seems fitting...
The Good
* We finally get some direct backstory on Black Widow after lots of Films.
* We get lots of fun characters like Yelena, Red Guardian and Melina. Will they play a big part in future Films/Shows?
* A Villain that isn't Evil Version of the Hero in a Marvel Film. Happy now, Critics?!?
* The Film has strong Action that punctuates the Drama. It's got both and it's shot well.
The Bad
* The lack of Marvel Supporting Players (save from one) is disappointing, although only a little to me. It's her Story, after all.
* Some of the Twists might turn off some purists, although not as bad as that Mandarin one that still annoys people to this day!
* The fact that we get a Midquel here does taint the Drama a bit. Did you think that she would die regardless though?
A strong, dramatic Film with character-driven Action and some laughs. It doesn't go for the big spectacle, but it thrives just fine without it for me.
