Boring, Forced, and Mediocre

Rating: 5/10 (8 March 2019)

The movie was just mediocre. It's ridiculously overrated, and everyone knows why at this point. The movie, just like a decent amount of other marvel movies, is predictable, boring, and bland. Lets start with some good things about the movie. The setup of Wakanda in the movie is just amazing. The detail, the environment, the costume design, and just everything about it is just great. This is the strongest thing about the movie. I also think that Chadwick does a phenomenal job with his acting, and you can feel his pain and anger, which is great. Now for the negatives. The movie is just boring. The pacing is odd, there's many scenes that I feel are just ridiculous, don't make sense, or just seem unnatural. Kilmonger's writing was awful, and made you feel barely any remorse for him, after going what he's been through. instead of seeming like an angry yet innocent person, looking to fix what he feels the wakandans (i dont know what you call them) caused, he comes off as just a forced, weak, and just bland villain. The movie seemed pretty robotic to me at points, which made it feel very unnatural, and ruined my enjoyment. It's just not that good. Lastly, the CGI in the movie was just outright garbage. I don't know what they did, but somehow between the trailers and the movie, the CGI looked worse. Adding that weird glowing purple armor made any fight scene involving T'Challa look like it was from an early 2010s video game. It looked so fake, and just so bad. Some other effects, mainly during the car scene were just bad. Considering the budget of the movie, compared to other movies like Doctor Strange and Thor Ragnarok, it just looks terrible, and unfinished. The movie is just overrated, bland, and way too long for its own good. There are way better marvel movies, and this is a movie going into the lower end of the marvel movie rankings. It's clear that most critic ratings were politically motivated, because otherwise this movie would not get such high ratings.
