Just finished watching this and I would score similar, post credits need to be watched though.

The coda proves Marvel is quite serious about its Disney+ TV shows properly influencing MCU continuity.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
Watched it today. 8/10. Very fun. Especially liked the credits sequence to a cover of Smells like Teen Spirit.
I always find it interesting on these smaller stakes solo films how they work around the fact the hero needs to complete the task themselves rather than call in Thor, Captain America and so on to just end it easily and quickly.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
Good point. It is the first solo movie we have had in a long time where characters from the other movies haven't crossed over. I would like to think it is due to Scarlett Johansson's pull with the audience but I think Marvel are trying to start phase 4 with a clean slate and give themselves some room to introduce new characters (e.g. her sister) who can grow and feature in future movies.

Tomorrow war was ok.
I watched a movie called Captive State the other day, which I enjoyed very much. Think Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy but with an alien invasion back story.
Also just watched Nobody, which is a right hoot, very much in the John Wick vein.
And also just watched Black Widow, which was just unnecessary.

Re: Rate the last movie you saw
I really enjoyed Captive State, one of those rare films where it exceeded expectations. I was quite disappointed with Nobody, I would class it as a children's John Wick.

I too was disappointed with Nobody. It didn't bring what the trailer appeared to promise.

Black Widow 7/10
Not exactly your typical marvel movie, but a good action movie and funny at times.

Very entertaining, lots of influences from the director in there, such as Sergio Leone (spaghetti westerns) including the music, very Ennio Morricone. 8/10 from me.

I rewatched it and I enjoyed it more.
Someone earlier said it's what a female James Bond should be and rewatching that's exactly what this film is. The writers and directors have clearly been inspired by Bond films. There is the dramatic start, the long opening credits (which I don't think Marvel usually do?), Black Widow has someone who gets her gadgets (I.E Q), the globe trotting spy structure and Ray Winstone is channelling a lot of Bond villain energy complete with a powerful henchman. They even have a clip of Moonraker in the film in case anyone thought these homages weren't intentional!
Also Florence Pugh is excellent as she is in most films so it's good she'll be part of the MCU in future.

The Moonraker clip was most certainly a hat-tip towards the Bond franchise, no doubt chosen as it also prefigures the location of the Red Room. There were a couple of other places where I recall thinking that they had inserted an homage or two, maybe a line in the music or dialogue, but I’ll have to see it again to remember. IIRC it should become free to regular Disney subscribers in 3-4 months.

I think it works in a lot of Bond tropes. Outside of the usual Marvel formula I wouldn't be surprised if Bond was the main other influence on it.
