Black Widow brings us one of the best ensembles in the MCU, along with phenomenal action. The emotional stakes are high, and fans of Natasha will be very happy.

It’s a simple plot but a lot of fun. Florence Pugh is a welcome addition to the series.

Given the events that come before and after this story, it’s inevitable that Black Widow feels like one of the more forgettable entries in the franchise. But that’s not really this film’s fault.

Poorly placed timeline-wise, but otherwise excellent.
