Extremely Overhyped, Extremely Overpraised, Extremely Mediocre

Rating: 5/10 (17 February 2018)

Don't waste your money if you're expecting anything more than a mediocre superhero movie. I don't understand how this is getting such high praise from critics when it simply is just a mediocre superhero movie. I would go as far to say that it is on the lower end of the spectrum from films from the MCU. This movie simply isn't good, but it isn't horrible either. It certainly has its somewhat redeeming qualities: The cinematography is masterful at times combined with the amazing CGI and set pieces make it a pleasure to look at. As well as the amazing acting/actors. But honestly I expected more from Ryan Coogler as he had in the past directed some great movies such as Creed. But even all of these amazing qualities weren't enough to make the film good. The storyline was lackluster with boring and predictable character archs which go nowhere giving the feeling of no development really being made by the end of the movie. Although some action scenes were good due to the quality CGI, the fight scenes were extremely mediocre and uninspired and became quite repetative at times. Though the weapons and gadgets used were quite col which made the fights a little more fun, but more of these should have been used to make these otherwise boring fight scenes more interesting so they don't seem to drag on as much.
Overall the movie was just meh. Nothing spectacular and nothing dreadful. Just a so-so, second rate. run of the mill superhero movie.
