Black Widow

Started by Darth Thor10 pages

So saw this at the pictures with the wife, and even both our tickets combined was still cheaper than paying Disney plus for it.

Film was decent, but feel like BW should have gotten more than a one off solo adventure.

👇 Absolutely not.

Which actor does the best SM, iyo?

Was an ok movie.

Not enough fight scenes with Taskmaster... But for what they did with Yelena I like her being the new Black Widow moving forward.

I'm pretty solid in my preference for the Raimi films. It's honestly been too long since I saw Garfield's performance, but I know he's a good actor. And I realize that Holland's prepubescent approach is potentially most appropriate for the character, but I just find it annoying on screen. The fact that the films seemed like a rush job to unnecessarily squeeze him into the Marvel universe for fan-service and $$ doesn't help either.

👆 Spot on!

You guys are high Far From Home was a million times better than this...

Tbh I couldnt bother watching the last 10 minutes switched it off after the final "battle" with Taskmaster.

The whole movie was meh for me.

Its not held well in its second weekend.

I get this wasnt the best MCU film, but I do think they are screwing themselves with the Disney plus rental option. Like it just makes no financial sense.

International drop was over 60% too, I think. Pandemic is still affecting the movies. Especially now that Delta is spreading around the world.

Depends what you're after. The biggest issue with the MCU Spiderman movies is the cast having zero chemistry. Particularly Peter's friends. (Jake Gyllenhall was excellent though)Not something Black Widow suffered from. Far From Home was visually far better. Plot wise they were on roughly equal footing.

I enjoyed it!

The film was… decent. That ending fight sequence, though? Was this movie influenced by anime?!

Well I guess Natasha aint coming back to life.

"Ms. Johansson said in the suit that her agreement with Disney’s Marvel Entertainment guaranteed an exclusive theatrical release, and her salary was based in large part on the box-office performance of the film." -snip

^If that is true, she is absolutely right to file a lawsuit, Disney screwed her out of potential earnings and I hope she wins.

Oh yeah, I'm totally on Scar Jo's side. Hope she beats Disney.

Imax came out and said the film lost hundreds of millions.

She has a right to be pissed.

Why is she a fool? I say good for her.

He's probably thinking that Disney will never use her again and the potential earnings she could miss out on due to this lawsuit.

Which is very possible, unless they can come to some amicable settlement.
