The Fourth Stage

After seeing Wandavision and Falcon&Winger Soldier, the story of Black Widow is definitely more compacted and substantial compared to the tv series.

I have to admit, marvel movies just can't disappoint you. As the first film of the Fourth Stage, Black Widow retells the story of Natasha after Captain America 3, when she went on a run and obliterated the Red Room with her original "family". Since Natasha doesn't have superhuman abilities, the movie contains a huge amount of short-range combats and mirror-like dual that are intense to watch. Also, Natasha's family are introduced to the marvel universe, all played by skillful actor and actresses who provided the audience with laughter and resonance. The mystique of Red Room and Taskmaster is unveiled in Black Widow as well, as we get to see Natasha finally eradicating the fear of her origin.

The only downsides I could think of are the heroes invincibility regarding car crashes and plane wrecks, and the confusing fragility of the antidotes. (broken by a punch yet surviving the plane crash?) If the movie would've make the widows volunteer as cold blood killers and spies instead of controlled puppets, and because of Natasha's kindness and sympathy they are salvaged, the ending would've been better.

Marvel fans, Black Widow will not disappoint you as a unique and different superhero movie.
