Like all Marvel it’s fine and easy to watch. Just didn’t blow me away 6/10 Pros are: David harbour and Florence Pugh carry the film adding much needed excitement and comedy to what I think is quite a dull character Some of the set pieces are quite cool Taskmaster is an interesting villain but has limited screen time Added a bit more back story to one of the least fleshed out characters in Marvel
Cons: Taskmaster screen time very limited and the backstory a bit strange which means it’s hard to care too much I felt like there was room for more story as children but they literally just imply the rest with opening credits Suffers from Marvels tendency to assume the audience knows the wider story and exactly what point in that story it is. This is set several movies ago so is confusing even if you have seen more recent ones. Post credits scene getting a bit ridiculous referencing a minor character from the falcon and winter soldier show. Black widow to me is quite flawed in Marvel, they have no super powers so they need something to endear them to the audience. Throughout MCU, the performance and script for Black Widow is relatively flat.

Pros are:

Some of the set pieces are quite cool
Taskmaster is an interesting villain but has limited screen time
Added a bit more back story to one of the least fleshed out characters in Marvel
Cons:
Taskmaster screen time very limited and the backstory a bit strange which means it’s hard to care too much
I felt like there was room for more story as children but they literally just imply the rest with opening credits
Suffers from Marvels tendency to assume the audience knows the wider story and exactly what point in that story it is. This is set several movies ago so is confusing even if you have seen more recent ones.
