What to Know

Critics Consensus

Black Widow's deeper themes are drowned out in all the action, but it remains a solidly entertaining standalone adventure that's rounded out by a stellar supporting cast.

The result is a film that is fun to watch, but very little else. Go to Full Review

What ensues is a film that isn't interested in planting seeds for future Marvel movies -- which is actually a refreshing change of pace. Go to Full Review

Almost completely lacking in Black Widow is any sense of outrage over the grotesque violations of human rights and human dignity at the root of the whole premise of the film. Go to Full Review
Louis Skye (Ronita Roy Mohan) Women Write About Comics Aug 21
The family dynamic, particularly between Natasha and Yelena, was so much fun. I thought the action was some of the best in the MCU. There was something visceral about the hand-to-hand combat — I could feel the punches through the screen. Go to Full Review

Black Widow proves that Natasha always had what it took to hold up her own corner of the MCU and then some—it just took the assembling (ahem) of a team that cared enough to tell her story. Go to Full Review
John Daniel Tangalin The Cinema Spot Jul 19
The story is set up so that we can see the rest of the family (and maybe Taskmaster and the Black Widows) in the future. Who knows when the next time they’ll show up will be! Go to Full Review
