Watched it and thought it was good. Not perfect but definitely more fun than Thor 2.

Was not happy with...

how they handled Task Master. This villain is supposed to be extremely tough and formidable and they weren't. Very lackluster in my opinion

I'm hoping with can watch it this weekend or early next week.  Right now, iMax is still rather packed.  I'd rather not be amongst that many people in a theatre yet.

I'm pumped to see this though... and I didn't look at the spoilers  ;D

Yeah, I said screw it and just watched it at home. Wife and I just popped some popcorn and bought a bunch of candy from the store. Was actually really nice.

Will probably wait until Spider-man in December to watch a movie in the theater.

We ended up doing the same thing.  We just rented it at home.  We tried to go to iMax, then iMax was down.  Then we tried to go to a regular showing, and it was 89% full  :o  That's hard to find a seat at that level.  We ended up renting it from home and can watch it any time from now until October when it becomes released on Disney+.  That's not too bad of a deal.  I do miss seeing movies in theatre... but it worked out well.  Good idea @CreepinDeth

Happy it worked out for you, too! It's nice to watch at home once in a while.

We went back and watched Black Widow again. It still held up and was really good. I don't know or understand what the complaints are against this movie.

It sucks that it hasn't performed as well in the box office. In my opinion, they did a great job.  It's definitely better than many others in the series.

Just watched this movie last night. I felt it was a very good movie and was wondering why they did not make more. And my thoughts were, they made Captain America, Ironman, Spiderman, etc, why not a series of Black Widow movies. Glad we got this one.

Money. Women superhero movies were thought to be low money makers in the box office. Wonder Woman changed all that.

This movie was supposed to come out years ago but it got caught up in internal studio politics.

yeah... they really need to make more like this.  Plus there were covid release issues... then once it was released, there were stupid theater ticket versus streaming drama.  I hope this movie continues to make more.  It's telling that it's the highest grossing moving in 2021... even with all the drama.  They were fighting many headwinds as well.

The ending is interesting... and all the multi-verse directions they are going... unlimited possibilities now.
