Definitely Overhyped

Rating: 5/10 (21 February 2018)

This movie was in no way the worst of all the Marvel films, but it does lack originality. I'm hearing many people say that this film is unique and separates itself from the rest of the marvel installments. I really don't know what they're on about. The plot is really generic. In a way it's as if we've all seen this film before, just rehashed with better, (well, "better" CGI). A man comes and visits his home to take the throne over his father's kingdom. Once he becomes king, another fellow family member decides to dethrone him (for his own reasons). The villain humiliates the protagonist, conquers the land for some time, and then the hero returns to kill him off. T'challa himself wasn't a very lovable character, I found him to be very bland and lacking of expressions. Kill monger is probably the reason this movie wasn't a complete catastrophe, although there wasn't anything particularly outstanding about him, he was quite charismatic and enjoyable to watch. I really couldn't care less about him dying in the end, seeing as if he was gone missing for like 50 minutes of the movie. Not only that, but let's be honest everyone saw it coming. This film was predictable from start to finish, maybe that's why I didn't enjoy it too much. The jokes were cheesy, maybe one or two landed. My final complaint was the pacing of the film. It all started really fast and then about 20 minutes in to halfway through the film, the movie was really slow. Not even the CGI could help make things better

I only saw this film because I'm a Marvel fan, (or was from the previous movies). It really was what I expected though. Some cool action sequences, a predictable plot, typical cheesy Marvel jokes, and just another fill in for the continuation of the Avengers storyline.
