So over hyped and drenched in slo-mo CG it is hard to remember this is a MCU COMIC! The acting was... well... marginal at best...unless you are looking for attitude at every turn. Marvel needs to really strip out the socio-political tripe from their movies. This isn't the first but this one dripped in it REALLY ruining the MCU story line. Speaking of the MCU connection... THERE WAS NONE . This sits as an island of CG phantasm to someone's ego and is NOT the Black Panther I knew well in Lee's fantasy realm of comic stories. No background ever given to support the absurdist fantasyland, and no REAL story beyond..."We need help - Call this guy" . THAT was the weakest part... No sustainable story line so it was hard for the characters to ever emotionally develop or connection.... just rubber suit flexing for 2 hours. Expected so much more. That Guardians of the Galaxy is still rated King of all the MCU productions... not just in attendance and financial success.... but in pure Lee Production and being true to the Legendary MCU characters. TRY AGAIN please Stan. You can do so much better. And viewers can certainly find a better way to spend two painful hours than cringing at these badly delivered lines. NEXT from MCU!!....Waiting Stan.... now you owe us all.
