It’s hindered most by the sensation that this has all come a little too late, especially for a character who’s been repeatedly let down by her own franchise.

Thanks to some zesty new character dynamics and smart twists, Marvel have finally done (Black Widow) right.

In execution the film moves so haphazardly as to be bewildering.

Directed by Cate Shortland with propulsive excitement, humour and pleasingly understated emotional interludes...

Shortland works in unvarnished closeup and establishes a mood of lurching, desultory anxiety that's closer to Russian neorealism than the Russo brothers.

Black Widow sets itself apart by emphasising Natasha's past, and her reunion with her fractured, drolly comic family.

It makes sense that a no-nonsense killing machine like Black Widow should have a no-nonsense instalment, but it's nice to see it actually happened.

The real-world resonance falls totally, troublingly flat.

The fight choreography is impressively acrobatic, if mildly numbing...

Shortland, an Australian director of indies, grounds Black Widow in a more tactile and murky reality.
