Black Widow (2021)

♥♥♥♥

Actually quite good, and better than the vast majority of Bond movies. Came in with low expectations.

Scarlett Johansson...actually acts just fine in this one?! But then I just watched Keanu Reeves act in Matrix 4, so expectations weren't high in that regard.

No big complaints, but it would've been nice if some of the main characters were actually of Russian heritage, ie. had real Russian accents instead of fake ones.

Politically speaking it kinda seems to ridicule Russia and favour the west which is uninspired and uninteresting. But then it's super mainstream and made by Disney, so genuine ability for self-criticism and deep reflection in terms of politics is currently too much to expect.

I like that they don't kill her sister off for uninspired, cheap emotional impact.
