Finally saw this last night. Really enjoyed it, especially the detective elements which split up the action. Not to take away from the things that Marvel has consistently done well, but there has been one thing that has bothered me for a while, and this movie kind of drove it home.
Scarlett Johannson as Black Widow. A big part of this movie was the pain she would experience as a result of her dark and hidden history. I look at Scarlett and I can only imagine her stealing a kitkat bar from a 7-11 in Kiev as her haunted past. Was she alive during the heyday of the KGB? I just can't buy her as emotionally scarred, or really all that intimidating.
Was Milla Johovich to old for this role, marketing wise?
Might just be me.
