Black Widow

Last night was my first trip inside a theater (for a new release) in probably a year and a half.  I honestly can't remember the last new release I've seen in a theater.

Since the pandemic I have enjoyed the movies at home.  Yes some flix are better in theater but with 3 kids and treats its cheaper at home.  

Being apart of the Cinemark Movie Club I had some free tickets and a no kid night and I thought, I'm going!  And was happy I did.

Black Widow was already a major player in the MCU through all 4 phases.  This movie felt like it should have happened were it was set after Civil War, but at last we got it.   I'm thankful we did!  I had a blast with this one.  

It wasn't an origin movie for Natasha per say , but more building character movie for her.  Florence Pugh though, her character of Yelana it is a start.  And for me it was Pugh who really stole the show.  Loved her character of the young "sister" and comments to Natasha.  Great in action too.  The story with the Widows feels a lot like the Prime Series Hanna (which is good too), just with an MCU twist.  

I know some have said they didn't like the villains, I didn't mind them.  Actually thought it was kind of cool with the Task Master and his mimicking of all the previous MCU heroes.   

The family dynamic with Rachel Weisz and David Harbour is good too.  Would have been cool to see Red Gaurdian vs Captian America at one time.  

This film I think helped that it didn't have to be an origin and could get right in to the action sequences and story with out setting up Natasha.  And they built up where they are going next with the end credit.

Black Widow : 7/10 Stars

Final New Black Widow Trailer

 This one has had a few new trailers with all the date pushes due to Covid-19.  Ready for this!

Black Widow

Black Widow to Disney+!

 

Just announced, Black Widow is coming to Disney+ the same day it opens in theaters!

This comes with the $30 premiere fee and if my memory is correct this is the 3rd movie that has done this on Disney+ with Mulan and Raya and the Last Dragon.  I did dish out money for Mulan but waited on Raya mostly because the kids and I had other stuff going on thought it is still on our "to see" list.

This one though, I'll dish over the money right now.  Yes I love going to the theater and all that.  But with 3 kids and me, tickets and concessions this is easy save money in the long run purchase.  

With the announcement from Disney, they also moved Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings to September 3rd.  With theaters starting to open up more but not fully I think Disney/Marvel had to make this move to not get their schedule of releases and plan all backlogged.  

Included along with this announcement is that Disney will also release Cruella, which looks really good with Emma Stone, in the trailer, is also going to debut on Disney+ the same day as theaters.  This is another easy one to give $30 over and save the money.
