The point I was trying to make is that she's on the same team with THOR (demi-God), HULK (most powerful Marvel creature ever in the Marvel-verse), CAPTAIN AMERICA (the "original" super hero), and IRONMAN (all-powerful kickass flying suit).
From someone who doesn't read the comics I'm thinking, "Ok, what makes
her so special? Why does
she get to be an Avenger with those guys?" By "underutilized" I really meant "I didn't see a whole lot of proof of her strength, so I'm not sure why she was there"... Then again, I think she was a bit more badass than Hawkeye.

True - Fantastic scene in my opinion.

One comic said she'd be about half as strong as Captain America.

See? That's a cool backstory - Would have loved to see a Black Widow movie (no joke) - I'm all about superheroines and her past, which she alluded to in the movie, was definitely intriguing. I also think that the fight with her and Hawkeye was pure well-choreographed eyecandy; wouldn't mind seeing more of that, to be honest. HOW 'BOUT IT, HOLLYWOOD?!

The Woman in Black (2012)
Wow. Just. Wow.
This is one of those rare modern horror films that has me sitting back and saying, "Well, they sure don't make 'em like THIS anymore" (before I chase some delinquents off my lawn)... Purely atmospheric, slow-burner with great acting and writing - Plays up the horror tropes without being cliche. There were also some truly creepy/scary moments that made me jump. Bonus.
Thoroughly enjoyed this and was especially impressed by the end.
Highly recommended if you haven't seen it yet.
