The summer movie season is starting off great this year

Rating: 9/10 (29 April 2018)

Definitely a return to form for Marvel with Infinity War, but I predict the next movie will be a bit of a letdown as the conflict with Thanos has to be resolved. If you've read the comic, you probably have an idea what will happen, and I think it will probably end up being lame. Still, it was a well-made movie.
I'm just getting sick of Black Panther and Wakanda though. Here you have an black superhero and his nation, which supposedly is some sort of breakthrough for black moviemaking and black comic book superheroes(laughably not true) yet the world of Wakanda is chock full of insulting, backwards stereotypes of African people in spite of the fact their society is so advanced, an alien race can't even break through its force field. Seeing the Wakandans use spears, dressed in tribal gear, just makes my eyes roll as well. Shuri is also the smartest person in Wakanda, dare I say, the only person in Wakanda who seems to be smart enough to engineer anything in spite of the fact their society was technologically advanced for decades, if not centuries. The stupidity of Wakanda is just infuriating and juvenile and I wish they would clean it up in future movies. I just refuse to watch any more Black Panther movies if they are made because I cannot stand anything about it.
Also, the balance of power between characters just isn't logical. You will have one character like Hulk get the snot beat out of them, yet Captain America or Iron Man will easily go toe to toe with Thanos and his goons and put up a good fight. The one fight scene in Scotland was really bad; Vision and Scarlet Witch get the snot beat out of them, yet Black Widow, Captain America and Falcon easily make short work of Thanos's goons and run them off? This could have used some work but wasn't enough to ruin the film.
I highly recommend this movie. It is a bit long though, but I never checked my watch.
