My wife and son watched it at the weekend. At almost 3 hours long they said it was tedious and painful. They are big Marvel fans and watch all the films at the cinema.
They should be careful not to say that too loudly in public, they’ll be branded racists otherwise. You know it’s against the law to not like Black Panther films.Antony Moxey said:

Saw it on Saturday with wife and daughter. We all really enjoyed it. The various tributes to Chadwick Boseman were touching and done really well and a good way to hand over the baton to Phase 5 of the MCU.
That sounds like pure corporate-speak.They should be concentrating on maintaining a standard rather than diluting and diversifying the product, which seems to be the intent of each 'phase'.
Wakanda Forever clearly has problems because it was an unplanned, forced diversion from the roadmap. It should have been delayed to give them more time to think of what direction to take that part of the franchise but instead was cobbled together in order to meet the deadline to ensure that a 'new character' was introduced in time for their spin-off of a spin-off.
As someone else said in the Drinkers review comments, it's nice that Disney released a film that celebrates an ethnically homogeneous, overly wealthy and well-off nation that became this way out of sheer luck, hordes it’s resources, follows ancient, often archaic and backwards customs, and lives by an isolationist stance of letting the greater world suffer and die out of sheer lack of concern or care.

Watched the first one. I really didn't give a s
t about any of it, but it got the job done. I had no idea who these characters were or why a film was being made about them. I guess I should go to Marvel university. All of their ongoing product now trundles straight past my attention.
Their films that I truly liked were the first Iron Man and the Winter Soldier. The rest floated out of my head while I was still watching them, if I started watching them.

Between Eternals, Moon Knight and Ms Marvel I've not found this phase of Marvel particularly gripping... It's all a bit "right, that's the ending written... Now, how do we make a plot that gets us to that point? Meh, let's ask the intern script writer to sort it."Thank goodness for D+, not so galling when you haven't taken the time and money for a cinema trip!

Now I'm not saying any marvel films are realistic in the slightest.. But.. In all the other films, the powers are all explained quite well with some sort of science /magic etc. There is some sort of logic there.
In this one, the fish dude had tiny wings on his feet... Wtf
He's a mutant so he got them the same way as all the other characters from the X-Men universe.In this one, the fish dude had tiny wings on his feet... Wtf
I think he's the second person to be referred to as a mutant in the MCU so far.
