A Viper Without Fangs

Rating: 5/10 (18 March 2020)

I only went to see this movie when it first hit cinemas because it had a costumed female arch villain. But as usually happens to a female protagonist when she reaches the big screen Viper proved a greatly diminished figure (with a measly amount of screen time) from the queen bee originally known as Madame Hydra with bobbed hair and green lipstick who in the comic books ruled a vast criminal empire with a rod of iron.
After I took my seat in Leicester Square I was puzzled by the trio of young women that trooped in in front of me who looked more like the audience for 'Sex in the City' than a superhero movie (although their collective murmur of approval when Hugh Jackman first appeared without his shirt soon explained their presence). SPOILER COMING: The funniest moment for me in the entire film was their round of applause near the end when Viper got despatched!!
