Another stunning addition as always, so glad you didn't go with the white costumes on her, looks amazing. And a really massive surprise as wasn't expecting this label for a little while, so thanks you for that too, Looking forward to watching this tonight

As always, an amazing job.

Can someone share their opinion about the film? Does it really get worse after the first act?

Stunning work! Another brilliant cover for your awesome collection

[Kernie]

Thank you everyone for the comments! I was happy to finally have a Marvel cover delivered on time for once (of course, the extra year to make the cover helped)!

I'll put my comments in spoiler tags, but I'll try not to go too in-depth with any big reveals or info...

Spoiler BlockI did feel that Act 1 was the strongest of the film, somewhat significantly. About 20 minutes in, I thought to myself, "This is really good and it feels like Marvel is doing their version of a Jason Bourne movie!" Unfortunately, I did find myself getting a little restless in the middle. The third act leans a little too far towards the usual Marvel superhero finale as opposed to a finale better suited towards an action/spy film.

Overall, I enjoyed it. It's a solid mid-tier (possibly upper-mid-tier) Marvel movie.

One spoilery bit I will mention... anyone hoping to see a hardcore, brutal, comic-accurate Taskmaster might be disappointed. Honestly, I didn't mind the changes and thought it worked well for this story. I know the character has a somewhat devoted fanbase but I only really know him from a few animated appearances and his portion of the Spider-Man PS4 game, so I didn't really take offense to his portrayal here.


I'd be interested in hearing what others thought of Black Widow, just please use spoiler tags if you're going to discuss. Thanks!

I see, thank you so much for sharing your opinion. I haven't watched it yet, we don't have Disney+, streaming services are still fighting for the rights to show it, and I don't want to go to the cinema because of the coronavirus, I don't want to get sick with it again (a rare disgusting thing).

So I watched it last night on Disney +. My opinion is below.

Spoiler BlockI love Black Widow's character in the Marvel series of movies, so I was really looking forward to this one. And it started out as I expected the movie to be. But I too found myself getting a little restless for a large part of the middle. I don't mind it not being all action, but so many parts were just drawn out. Almost as if they had a running time they had to achieve, and not enough footage. If I hadn't started watching this hoping for a hardcore action packed movie, I think I would have enjoyed it more. 6/10.

Spoiler BlockI also watched it last night and as I have never read the comics there some bits I probably don’t understand or who the characters were like Taskmaster, I either wasn’t paying attention but I didn’t even know who Taskmaster until I read Kernie’s review of it.

Like Baz and Kernie, I too got restless - I suppose I was hoping for a lot more action.

One scene where Scarlett is on the bridge and gets hit by the truck and the car goes flying and is half on the bridge and half off - I thought the CGI could have been better, just didn’t look smooth like most other Marvel CGI.
