Very Average

Rating: 2/10 (26 July 2019)

While I didn't hate it, it certainly had nothing worthy of the 100% Rotten Tomatoes critic ratings it got, or being nominated for 6 Oscars including best picture. Anyone with an ounce of integrity watched this and said meh. It is definitely not a stand out MCU film, There are far better and far more engaging. It works best as a stand alone as nothing within it really impacts on the MCU in any meaningful way.
I found the CGI in parts to be laughably bad, especially the fight between the two Black Panthers towards the end. There was some very cringey lines and nonsensical plot threads but overall it works. There were parts that were purely inserted political statements and a super hero action film is hardly the place for Hollywood to try and make some grand social statement but that doesn't seem to stop them these days. Acting was fine for the most part.
All in all it was thoroughly forgettable and I can't imagine me going back for a second watch. If you haven't seen it yet go in with low expectations as the critics are so out of touch on this one. No film could achieve the lofty heights their reviews would lead you to expect.
