relentless
enemy
force

and

long
before
she
became
an

Review:
Black
Widow
follows
Natasha
between
the
events
of
Captain
America:
Civil
War
and
Avengers:
Infinity
War.
While
on
the
run
from
the
government
for
not
signing
the
Sokovia
Accords,
she
is
visited
by
her
past
before
she
became
an
Avenger.
The
film
begins
with
Natasha
running
away
after
Civil
War,
and
living
in
hiding.
However,
she
is
visited
by
a
formidable
killer
who
is
not
looking
for
her,
but
a
package
she
received
from
someone
she
once
knew.
Chasing
the
hints,
the
story
takes
Natasha
from
Ohio,
Budapest,
to
Russia
and
gather
her
former
family
unit.
We
get
to
see
who
Natasha
was
before
she
became
a
Black
Widow
in
the
Red
Room.
She
was
assigned
a
mission
at
the
young
age
of
ten
with
a
six-year-old
Yelena
(Florence
Pugh)
as
her
sister,
the
Red
Guardian
aka
Alexei
(David
Harbour)
as
her
father
and
Melina
(Rachel
Weisz)
as
her
mother.
They
lived
as
a
perfect
family
for
three
years
in
Ohio,
but
when
Alexei
finished
the
mission
they
flew
back
to
the
Red
Room
base
and
went
their
separate
ways.
Natasha
on
meeting
Yelena
reveals
that
when
she
wanted
out,
she
along
with
Clint
aka
Hawkeye
destroyed
Red
Room
and
General
Dreykov.
However,
she
soon
finds
out
she
had
been
unsuccessful
and
the
organisation
has
become
stronger
in
the
years
she
had
been
away
in
the
West,
fighting
with
the
Avengers.
For
the
rest
of
the
film,
Natasha
attempts
to
gather
information
from
her
previous
family
and
destroy
the
Red
Room
once
again.
Black
Widow:
Release
Date
&
Time
Of
Scarlet
Johansson’s
Last
Marvel
Film
In
India
Black
Widow
marked
the
final
film
of
Scarlett
Johansson
as
Black
Widow,
but
she
at
best
is
only
seen
doing
her
part.
Over
the
years,
Scarlett
has
been
mesmerising
as
her
character
even
with
the
few
shining
moments
that
she
got
in
MCU.
However,
fans
were
most
excited
to
see
her
take
on
the
Big
Bad
alone
in
the
solo
release.
Given
the
expectations,
Marvel
disappoints
with
Black
Widow
not
only
as
Natasha’s
final
film
but
also
as
the
first
phase
four
film.
Instead
of
making
the
film
about
Natasha,
Black
Widow
turns
into
a
film
about
introducing
Yelena
who
will
be
seen
in
the
Hawkeye
series,
missing
the
Avengers
and
the
mystery
about
what
will
happen
to
all
the
Black
Widows.
We
hardly
get
to
watch
her
be
the
spy
assassin
that
she
is
known
for,
use
her
super
serum
strength
or
basically
perform
hand
to
hand
combat
that
she
is
famous
for
in
the
MCU.
While
Pugh
as
Yelena
is
one
of
the
best
things
about
the
film,
it
is
hard
to
watch
her
take
the
forefront
when
the
film
was
meant
to
be
Scarlet’s
big
moment.
David
Harbour
and
Rachel
Weisz
are
delightful
but
mainly
remain
on
the
sidelines,
for
good
reason.
Overall,
Black
Widow
is
at
best
a
filler
Hallmark
level
family
film
for
the
MCU.
It
does
nothing
more
than
introducing
a
few
characters
with
terrible
jokes
and
place-in
emotional
moments
that
do
little
to
nothing
for
Natasha
Romanoff’s
character.
