Decent, but MASSIVELY overhyped

Rating: 7/10 (17 February 2019)

The idea behind the movie is great, environment design is spectacular, unique, and very well made, characters are occasionally interesting but not particularly developed, the plot is completely generic and predictable. CGI is very obvious, but usually well executed and of high studio-quality.
Cross-movie character interactions are well done and interesting as usual. I had strong hopes throughout the movie, waiting for it to depict how Wakanda fits into the rest of the world, only for it (after half-finished attempts) to ultimately give up on trying to chase this potentially interesting idea, and instead fall back to a very generic, overused, and predictable ending. For me, this part would've been the most interesting, and coupled with the environment design, these half-finished attempts basically account for all the good in this movie.
The movie, in general, is enjoyable but also vastly overrated by critics, most likely due to completely unneeded political motivations. It's a good watch, but nothing remarkable or memorable. It's nothing more than one of the already seen, weaker fillers in the MCU.
