Black Widow Trailer Review: 8 Ups & 3 Downs

1. The CGI In The Skydive

And here we are once more with a movie trailer whose CGI might not be finished, but which includes said CGI in the footage shown as a means to sell the film. And we have to hope that the CGI behind Nat's skydive at the end of the trailer is unfinished, because if it's not, that's a big yikes.

While she's only on screen for a few seconds, it's obvious that Scarlett Johansson's face has been added onto a body double - and pretty badly by the look of it. Let's hope the final film will do it a little better and not try and hide it with motion blur.

There's also a slight question over what appears to be a younger General Ross. I say "appears to be" because it's hard to tell whether they've de-aged William Hurt or are using a stand-in for him. Either way, they've somehow managed to make him look both 25 and 50 at the same time, which is remarkable work. Plus, his suit is at least three sizes too big.

If that's the biggest issue though, you can count this as a big winner of a trailer.
