You know the drill: all men are evil, immature or buffoons. And that's the only thing I have to say about the male characters.

The plot: Widows are female secret agents and are evil. Turns out they're evil because they are mind-controlled. The mission: bring vials of an antidote against this mind-control.

To avoid any misunderstanding, this movie tells you right from the bat what it aims to achieve via interpretative visuals: opening scenes with a gender-confused blue haired teen.

Before we get to the end scenes, we are firstly treated with cringe conversations, to be followed by an utterly irrelevant mid-phase.

After many standard fighting scenes (with lots of cuts and camera shakes because nobody has skills) we finally end up at the lair of the evil male Dreykov. Dreykov uses the source this planet has too much of according to him: women.

The overlords behind the woke culture want you to know that men have no respect for women.

Black Widow's exposure of her time when she was operational as a Widow is lacking. Her training, her missions, her place in the world, you'll get nothing. Also the dialogs were way too long as they dragged on even when an issue has been resolved already.

This movie was boring for most of the time.

I was surprised that ScarJo didn't carry the scenes well. Her face wasn't stating 'I got this'. The end result is that she was sidelined in her own story; Not only because of her mediocre acting, but also because the executives did not flesh out her character. She was overshadowed by other characters in this flick.

This movie is one big lie; Taskmaster - a woman here - was played almost entirely by a male stuntman named Andy Lister. Nor did Olga Kurylenko really appear in this movie; Her head was digitally inserted when she briefly took her mask off. On Social media she complained that the suit was too heavy.

The only good thing I have to say is "Florence Pugh". She had a cute role - bit of a wacky Widow - and did a good job adding humor to the movie.

A few positives and so many negatives. Yet here's one more negative: the special effects were badly done as well. We have people jumping in front of what is obviously a green screen. It saddens me that the masses keep funding this political and lazy rubbish by paying for it.

The boredom, political messaging, unconvincing and sidelined ScarJo, bad jokes, thin story, uninspiring action really add up in a bad way.
