I think the big thing is that this movie would have felt more relevant if it had come out ~ 4 years ago shortly after Civil War. Like I said earlier, I feel like the movie is fine if not particularly great, but the timing just seems shitty.

So yeah, just reiterating everything else, this was just okay. It was really more "Bourne" than Marvel up until the end. In fact, I'd almost say it was a pretty good spy movie up until she had to face off against the big bad at the end. Everything in that last sequence just kind of ruined it for me.
I feel like they were really forcing the womyn power shit, but in my experience, women get bored with shit like car chases and extended action sequences. The hysterectomy shit was super jarring, too.
And I know it's a superhero movie so complaining about plot holes seems silly, but there were a few at the end that seemed bizarre to me.

Why did he have faceless, worthless henchmen as guards when he's apparently got a global network of Black Widows who could've been protecting him?
The random parachute on the deck was just a what the fuck? Like, c'mon, that's super lazy writing.
And the end of the sequence, why is there a convoy of US people in the middle of Russia? Not only that, but including whatever the fuck his name is that's specifically hunting Natasha? Seems awfully coincidental. I think I probably missed some dialogue, but why didn't she get on the plane with everyone else? She said something about holding them off...and then 2 weeks later she's a free woman still and going to rescue everyone else. So she obviously didn't stick around.

Black Widow Director Reveals Why a Rumored Avengers Cameo Didn't Happen
Natasha Romanoff's solo flick was purposefully planned to emphasize the standalone factor.

Speaking to Total Film, director Cate Shortland revealed that Marvel Studios played around with the idea of including other big Marvel names but ultimately decided against it:

Not top tier MCU, but I enjoyed it. The sister was great, and if the plan is to do a passing of the mantle with her (and it almost certainly is), then I'm very much on board. Also becoming very clear that the Thunderbolts (or something similar) is being built up to.

I enjoyed it, it had really good pacing with nice mix of funny moments, drama and action. The 2 hours runtime flew by. I really wish it had come out after Civil War though. If/when I rewatch the entire MCU again I will definitely watch it after Civil War.
I like Yelena and hope we see more of her, for that matter I wouldn’t mind seeing more of Red Guardian and Melina either.
Taskmaster was totally wasted though as usual with most villains.

I would say less Bourne and more Bond. I mean it had a car chase, gadgets galore, secret formulas...
Hell the Red Room itself was a classic Bond villain over-the-top lair. Even had Natasha quoting along with a Bond film she was watching before her generator conked out.

Apparently this movie has a Miranda-style shot of Scarlett's ass...ets (except there's no "Sheppard", only her relevant part front and center). I guess she can keep whining about oversexualization and conveniently forget this was feminist trash directed by a woman. Seriously, evil men made her take a role in Under the skin and Ghost in the shell, poor woman.

They even joked about that in this movie though. "The god from another planet probably doesn't need to take an ibuprofen after a mission."

Slight derail but this is always an issue. We learned this when the Champions RPG came out decades ago. High strength high defense characters basically are immune to low strength martial artists types. Its hard to write a story with them. Cap, Bucky, Red Guardian and anyone other person at that power level or above would just wade through all those widows like the Rock going through a bunch of cheerleaders.

I leaned over to my wife in the theater after that line and whispered “Message!”, and we both LOLed.
That was a super forced and awkward line.

Movie was fine, i would put in the good catagory if just going off the last 2 years of shit. I will prolly watch it again unlike Thor 2, iron man 2, age of ultron, captain marvel, and black panther.
The actors were good and the sister did a great job. Movie ruined/ wasted taskmaster which really sucks unless deadpool wipes everything and after credit scenes was terrible

Decent flick overall, 7/10. Lots of jokes that missed, few that got a chuckle out of me. May watch again if doing some sort of chronological series.

I didn't even understand why the helmet had like... some kind of heads up display on it or tracking software or whatever. At first I thought Taskmaster was a robot or something, but instead it was just a chick wearing a helmet that did... stuff. The helmet didn't appear to do anything to assist her either. It didn't make any sense.
