Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Good Marvel animation
I don't know what I expected ,but was pleasantly surprised with the story, content, and visuals.
This movie is pretty much Punisher driven. Black widow does offer up support- further backstory/tragic element development, but if these two aren't your cup of tea, look elsewhere. The other Avengers are literally animated garnish, sprinkled in at the end just to be able to call it an Avengers movie. I happen to really like Frank Castle (too bad he's not real), and his M.O., so the lack of the "bigger names" didn't affect my viewing of this. It is a well written story, the animation is lovely but the feel and tones are dark and intense, and not really suited to smaller children. Glad I bought this, makes me want to give Frank a big ol' hug and now I know Natasha is a person, and not just a pair of lethal thighs.
I'm a big Black Widow fan, so this movie was worth it to see a bit more of her as a character. I would say this story painted her in a fairly soft light, not so much as the spy who is trying to atone for her past. The story is interesting enough to get by, but what really makes the film is the fluid action scenes. I was a bit skeptical about the anime style, but it works. Watch this if you are a fan of either character!
