Ten years ago, Scarlett Johansson played "Black Widow" debuted in Iron Man 2. Initially, Black Widow's positioning was only a vase to increase the viewing of the movie. Over time, however, Marvel discovered that female superheroes were missing, and Black Widow was just right to fill that gap. So I had the idea of making an independent film.
In fact, in "Avengers 2", Marvel made some preparations for the widow's past. The Crimson Witch first appeared, and used magic to awaken the widow's deepest memories. As a result, an unknown past gradually surfaced, such as the footage of dancing ballet and the clip of being trained in the red room.
The story of Black Widow takes place before Avengers 3. At this time, the Avengers infighting had just ended, and the people who supported Captain America were either in jail or wanted. Black Widow belongs to the latter, and she is forced to flee to one strange place after another to avoid being pursued. She received a packet of red potions from her sister, and because of these potions, she was targeted by a mysterious person. After a short fight, the widow found that the other party was very dangerous and equal to her own strength.
In order to find out the truth, Black Widow came to Budapest. Here, Black Widow soon discovers that Drekov, the former head of the "Red House," is still alive and is still working on the Black Widow Project. As the plot progresses, a sad past is revealed.
Natasha Romanov was orphaned and was chosen to join the "Red House". This organization, ostensibly a school for teaching children to learn dance, is in fact a base for secretly training female agents. All selected children are trained rigorously and will eventually be sent to the United States to carry out covert operations. Natasha is one of them, but she was "reformed" by the United States, betrayed the "Red House", and joined the Avengers. At the same time, my sister, whom I had not seen for many years, suddenly appeared.
Her sister Yelena tells the widow that the "Red House" has been resurrected and is secretly plotting a bigger conspiracy. The red potion she sent to the widow sister can erase the memories of people who have been trained by the "Black Widow" and turn them back into normal people. So the widow sister and her sister Yelena decided to find the "family" and destroy the Red House together.
First, the Red Guard, known as the Soviet "Captain America", was found. Then, the secret agent Named "Iron Lady", Melina, is found. In the end, the four fight together against the "New Black Widow" sent by the Red House, as well as the pursuit of the mysterious man.
As for, who is that mysterious man? In fact, it is Marvel's classic villain - the master of imitation. His real name is Anthony" Tony Masters, a former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, gained the ability to quickly learn other people's fighting moves by injecting special serums. In this way, the plot is not complicated, but it also exposes many problems.
First of all, in Avengers 4, Black Widow is doomed to die. After that, Scarlett will not appear in the Marvel Universe. The film will be her finale. However, from the story level alone, in addition to some Marvel-specific elements, "Black Widow" is a female agent film.
Although there are many action scenes in the film, such as close-quarters hand-to-hand combat and chase gun battles, it is obvious that it is not powerful enough. And a lot of action scenes are done through special effects. For an ordinary person who has no superpowers and no invincible armor, it may seem a bit exaggerated.
Secondly, as the successor of the Black Widow, Yelena's casting is not very suitable. There is no denying that Florence Pohr is sexy and fully capable of serving as the second generation of Black Widow. However, in the film, it may be due to overnutrition, resulting in a slightly out-of-shaped figure. In this way, her interpretation of the role and performance seem to be a bit blunt, and she feels that she cannot control this complex character at all.
In the end, the effect presented is somewhat unusual. Moreover, the director's performance method is not clever, and the effect presented is not satisfactory, but it breaks the rhythm of the movie. The two-hour movie, both to uncover the past of Black Widow and to connect the plot of the entire Marvel Universe, seems far-fetched. However, the director wanted to do everything, which eventually led to the top-heavy plot, and the story did not have a prominent focus.
Most importantly, as the biggest villain of this film, the character handled the old problems of Marvel's past on "Black Widow", and the villain performed well at the beginning, and the strength should not be underestimated. As a result, at the end, for the sake of the plot, he was forced to easily receive a box lunch. Overall, Black Widow is not a perfect farewell to The Widow and Scarlett. On the contrary, due to problems in various aspects, it not only hurt the hearts of fans, but also ruined the role of Black Widow.
However, as a Marvel entertainment movie, "Black Widow" has no threshold for watching movies, and it can be used as a way to kill time.
