The “highest-grossing movie of 2021 with $181.5 million in the United States and the fifth highest-grossing movie of the year worldwide with $371 million”, you know it as Marvel Studios’ “Black Widow”. Directed by Cate Shortland, (the first woman to receive solo directing credit on a Marvel movie), “Black Widow” was initially released on June 29th, 2021 and is now available on Disney+.

She also starred/participated in many popular films such as: Sing & Sing 2, Jojo Rabbit, Home Alone 3, Maleficent, etcetera.

Interviewed Student Ratings:
9/10: “It was a good movie but I didn’t like how she died at the end. I did like how her relationship with her sister got better and how we got to really know her story. STAN TWICE!”
5/10: “Half-and-half, really. It was just a backstory movie, which I expected and I mostly enjoyed it. But I thought they could have explained more, as a movie that kind of explains what led up to Endgame for Black Widow.”
10/10: “I LOVED IT! It was a real masterpiece, filled with action and an emotional twist.
7/10: “I liked this movie, I enjoyed learning more about how Black Widow came to be and its amount of feminism it displayed. While not one of my most favorite movies, I still recommend it.”
1/10: “It was the biggest disappointment I have seen from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.”
3/10: “The Black Widow movie was okay, but honestly it seemed like the script was written in a rush. It wasn’t entirely horrible, I liked the sister moments, but it should have told more about her backstory with Hawkeye.”
