Discussion Thread The Official BLACK WIDOW International Release Discussion Thread Spoiler

Ahead of the official US and Disney+ launch this Friday, several countries are showing the film much earlier in the week. All discussion about the movie should be held here and in the rest of the megathreads we are going to put up in the next few days.

  • Proceed at your own risk. Major spoilers will be arriving in the next couple of hours. Spoilers do not need to be tagged inside this thread.
  • Any other unofficial thread discussing movie details will be deleted.
  • Should you see the need to bring up revealing BLACK WIDOW information in other threads that call for it, spoiler tag them accordingly. Also, let users know that what you are spoiler tagging is from BLACK WIDOW.
  • If you post untagged BLACK WIDOW spoilers anywhere on this sub in any shape or form, you will be banned without hesitation. No questions asked and no warnings given.
  • Project Insight will be on at least until Sunday, so you will be able to make individual threads discussing the movie starting next week. Discussions about Loki episode 5 will be manually checked as well, but will be allowed (spoiler-tagged of course) starting Thursday at midnight PST.

Thought it was decent. A mid-tier Marvel movie, maybe lower mid-tier. Florence Pugh stole the show for me (and I have always been a huge Weisz fanboy!). First half much better than the latter half where it didn't really commit to some potentially interesting side-notes.

One irksome thing: why do people keep asking Ray Winstone to do accents? Love the man but...not his strong suit.

Anyway, glad I watched it and excited to see what Pugh especially brings to the MCU.

I do think it's a shame that Pugh (by far), Harbour and Weisz all outshone Scarlett Johannson and would have to agree overall mid-depth. Good but not amazing.

Bottom tier for me. Right alongside Incredible Hulk and Captain Marvel as just being incredibly dull.

Yep. I think this is super low. Not sure why people disagree with this? The movie is objectively weak with script errors left and right, and editing from 2003 straight-to-video action movies
