Watch Avengers Confidential: Black Widow & Punisher For Free

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

So much average

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This movie is almost unwatchable. Many have pointed out plot holes and poor writing in general but add to that the cringe inducing voice acting, the feeble attempt at an anime tone and the absolutely horrible editing. There are constant scenes of a character saying something in the middle of a conversation and unexplained delays before the other person says anything back. Maybe it would make sense if the director included a meaningful look or gesture or frankly anything but there's nothing. Half the time, while you're waiting for anyone to respond to a line the scene is just everyone standing or sitting and there's no expression on their face at all. I understand "meaningful" pauses but these are just pauses that make no sense.So the writing is a mess, the voice acting is painful and the editing barely exist. Avoid this movie as if it will give your brain cancer - because it will.

As far as Marvel animation goes, this movie generally looks good. It allows us to visit two characters sadly left behind in Marvel's cinematic success, and it does them some justice in a reasonably interesting plot. There are some problems of execution though. Black Widow's voice doesn't seem to fit, and is somewhat jarring from the very start. Either the actress didn't quite get it or she wasn't effectively directed, but it just doesn't seem to connect appropriately. Really, the voice acting for her character shines most during the tragic romance plot, which is unfortunately very trite and grating. Her part in it may be fine, but the villain's motivation is highly questionable as he sought to be "strong enough to be worthy of her." That might be fine in a simpler story with more innocent characters, but when it's a story involving Black Widow and Punisher, both dark characters who should be well steeped in matters of betrayal and cynicism, it feels like a stretch. Where the movie shines is in its portrayal of the Punisher, who stays consistent to his code throughout the course of the story. Black Widow has some character development for the purposes of the story, but Punisher stays a solid rock throughout. So it's definitely watchable. The action and animation are fun and well done, accentuating the particular skills of the two protagonists. The story beats hit their marks, but just happen to be ones that are more out-of-character for Black Widow. So if you have a couple of hours to spare, it's reasonably entertaining. You also don't necessarily need it in your life.

this masterpiece is a bitingly satirical take on the superhero anime adaptationism.it does a hilariously great job emulating the distinct flaws that the genre is known for; from the lack of emotion and movement in the characters' faces, to the unnecessary, egregious and distracting 3d animation, to the pointless romantic interest turned villain plot line which no one who watches these films cares about.i especially liked the out of nowhere appearances from the hulk, iron man, thor the god guy and that annoying nerd kid, it made my inner fanboy write fanfiction with delight.i respect the representation of homosexuals in the form of the punisher who wore eyeshadow and black lipstick a lot in the moviealso it sucked 10/10

A rock solid story with very adult animation, that is sadly very old, and tired. The first half of the movie is quite a good story arc with good build up, though once it changes from just Punisher and Black Widow things just seem to be forced, yet no one is ever really good enough. How has animation as a medium not changed in the last 25 years except in the processing power, and rendering speeds? The animation, and most of the side characters in this movie could easily just be cut out, and placed into an older movie like Ghost in the shell, Bubblegum Crisis or any number of movies and shows that have come out in the past 25 years. The facial expressions , and over the top antics just seem like a bad culture clash that doesn't need to be there. I liked the parts of the movie which were spent in other countries, though do not understand why even if the majority of this movie is anime inspired (which is a good thing) do they not make America seem like America? You will understand better when you see it, but the style and mannerisms of the people in each country should be unique, and yet they all feel like a single country like the whole movie was filmed on a sound stage in Hong Kong, or Tokyo. A real plus that you have to give to the movie is that it does look better than the poster. There is no shortage of collateral damage throughout as these superhero battles are wont to leave, and this is Punisher so expect more death than you have seen before in any Marvel movie also there is full frontal male nudity in this one like Dr. Manhatan, only not blue. This is a very Enjoyable movie which I can not help but recommend, and I know I ranted a bit, but you may be getting just as tired as I am with the same same, and like it when things get a bit fresh. Other than the violence level (and this is actually still tame compared to real anime) there is not a lot here that is new.
