Avengers Confidential: Black Widow & Punisher

Punisher was honestly the only good thing about this, the plot was bad and they somehow managed to make Black Widow a flat character in it. Plus it feels like stuff just happens without no explanation.

I watched this very high spread over three late night viewing sessions. Is this perfect? No. Is it a real fun ride? Yes! Love seeing a comic accurate Punisher where everyone else hates him. The one on one fights are excellent! Group battles are eh…
80/100

REVIEW: AVENGERS CONFIDENTIAL: BLACK WIDOW & PUNISHER (2014) - A PROMISING, YET FLAWED ANIMATED ADVENTURE

Rating: 5.8/10

Avengers Confidential: Black Widow & Punisher is a 2014 animated film that brings together two of Marvel's most iconic characters in a gritty, action-packed adventure.

The film's strongest aspect is its visuals. The anime-inspired animation is sleek and stylish, with a focus on dynamic action sequences that bring the world of Marvel to life.

The voice cast, including Jennifer Carpenter (Black Widow) and Brian Bloom (Punisher), deliver solid performances that capture the essence of their characters.

However, the film's narrative is where it falls short. The plot is predictable and lacks depth, with underdeveloped characters and a lack of emotional resonance.

The film's themes of loyalty, duty, and redemption are also not fully explored, which feels like a missed opportunity.

Overall, Avengers Confidential: Black Widow & Punisher is a promising, yet flawed animated adventure that delivers on its promise of action and excitement, but falls short in terms of storytelling and character development.
