Marvel Studios Black Widow DVD [2021]

great movie, this is what marvel CAN DO, when its not trying to change things up, or destroy the MCU altogether

Black Widow is a long-overdue solo adventure for Natasha Romanoff, and this Blu-ray release does justice to both the character and the story. Set between the events of Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War, the film explores Natasha's past, family, and the demons she’s been running from for years.Scarlett Johansson is phenomenal as always, bringing depth and humanity to Natasha while delivering jaw-dropping action sequences. Florence Pugh as Yelena steals every scene she’s in with her sharp wit and emotional performance, making her an instant fan favorite. David Harbour and Rachel Weisz also add charm and complexity as Natasha’s unconventional "family."The action sequences are thrilling, with a mix of intense hand-to-hand combat and larger-than-life set pieces. On Blu-ray, the cinematography truly shines, with crisp visuals and a stunning color palette. The Dolby sound enhances every explosion, punch, and emotional moment, creating an immersive experience.Bonus features include behind-the-scenes content, deleted scenes, and a fascinating look at Natasha’s journey within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. These extras add even more value to an already fantastic film.Whether you’re a die-hard Marvel fan or just looking for a well-crafted action movie with heart, Black Widow is a worthy addition to your Blu-ray collection. Natasha finally gets her time in the spotlight, and it’s a ride worth taking.

Another movie based on Marvel comics characters. This will make no sense if you haven't seen most of them already. So if you haven't go and google where to start.Regular viewers, read on.Here's a solo film for superspy Black Widow, that puts her in the lead. And obviously takes place prior to her most recent appearance in these movies. You will quickly work out where in all the continuity it slots into.We get an opening flashback scene to her origins, which does lay on some of the points it's trying to make a bit thickly. It also introduces her parents, played by David Harbour of Stranger Things fame, and Rachel Weisz. And then there's more of her origin, scenes to establish where as mentioned it takes place in continuity, and then more scenes to set up the plot.So it does take a short while to settle down.But the scenery, with moments in a couple of mainland European places, is fabulous.The plot then gets back to her family. We meet her sister, played by Florence Pugh. And things require it be a bigger family reunion...Two great set pieces follow. Then the best of the film, which is the family dynamic. The actors, especially Florence Pugh, are great, they all have a good dynamic together which really convinces in the writing and acting as being just like a family. And there's good humour also.Also introduced are villains Taskmaster. And a shadowy spy played by Ray Winstone with a somewhat variable accent. That's a compliment.A film of three thirds. After that crammed opening it settles down. The family stuff is great. But then it has to do lots of plot stuff. Which leads to action and a big battle, and...it's not quite as good as the family stuff.Taskmaster feels a bit underwhelming as a villain, and the portrayal might not please the comic nerds. But it's all watchable enough. Although you do come away thinking that the sister makes a bigger impression than the main character. Which possibly wasn't the intention.This is perfectly good and watchable. But it's been described as serviceable. Which is a good comment. Aside from a very end of the credits scene that is set up - for tv though not a coming movie - there's nothing else desperately essential here. Still, a perfectly decent movie for what it is. Just no more, no less.The dvd has the following language and subtitle options:Languages: English, Spanish, French, English audio description.Subtitles; English, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Norwegian, Spanish, Swedish, French.For once with these dvds, probably because it doesn't mention Disney on it just Marvel studios, the disc goes straight into the menu when loaded, without any trailers or ads. This is a nice change. It doesn't have any extras at all though. So no change there then.It doesn't have a 3d version either. Because only two people want that, so it wouldn't be economical to produce one.

all I can say about this film is I thought it was fantastic great story line .

Truly epic!!!

I'm glad I purchased this film.It was entertaining and continues my collection.

I love the film... It fills in the gaps of Natasha's background, makes her story even more tragic and sets up the future of the Black Widows. It's just a shame Marvel made the film after she died, rather than in phase 1 when they should have done.

Set in time before "Avengers: Endgame" (and, no, I will not give any spoilers in this review, for either of the films!), this film expands on the story of Natasha Romanoff, aka the "Black Widow", exploring her past history and background of the assassin-turned-Avenger.Scarlett Johansson is, as always, great in her role and the film introduces a few less-known Marvel characters, building up towards "The Thunderbolts".It does not have all the flashy CGI effects that one associates with other superhero movies (e.g. "Thor: Love and Thunder" or "Avengers: Infinity War" and, of course, "Avengers: Endgame"), but is a robust action movie, very enjoyable.As with all MCU movies, look out for the cameos, including one by the great, sadly gone and truly missed, John Hurt as General Ross.
