It was very interesting watching this movie again after seeing the conclusion to the MCU. Compared to the concluding films of the franchise, Avengers feels like it is cobbled together. A lot of the dialogue felt stilted this time around and very unnatural. I still really love this movie and it brought back a lot of nostalgia, but it isn't as good as I remember it being.

Wonder woman, pretty good I thought but the photography was a little poor in the night scenes. Too grainy and not enough detail for my liking.
The story line was good enough. Dc are still miles behind mcu though, can't see them gaining much ground any time soon if this is the standard they're producing.
I know that last part is a little damning but I still enjoyed the film

It All Came To This
Here is a quick review. Watch it. Have you seen the other MCU movies? All of them were leading to this moment. Go see it if you haven't yet. And if you haven't yet, WHY are you reading this? Go see it. Period. Go see it. Now. Or the next showtime.

Spoiler free review? There it was.

Ah, good old Guardians of the Galaxy. This is a really fun movie that's a great addition to the MCU. I enjoyed it very much. I definitely enjoy this movie and I think the VFX are very well done. One of my favorite things about this film is the CGI of Rocket Racoon. It's really well done. I'm a fan of James Gunn's direction of the film as well.

Exactly what you would expect from an MCU movie in this day and age. Great effects, good acting, several tie ins to the overarching franchise, and plenty of doors left open for a continuation if the studio sees fit.

I thoroughly enjoyed the timeline setting of the movie. That was actually one of my favorite things.

It was also nice to see Fury's eye patch explained on film.

A by the numbers origin story, with some great performances that elevate
Black Panther was introduced into the MCU during Civil War, with little time for much backstory. And Ryan Cooglers efforts to illustrate said back story works for the most part.

This film is filled to the brim with vibrant colours, and an extremely likable cast.
Chadwick Boseman, Letitia Wright, Danai Gurira (literally throwing wigs at one point), Daniel Kaluuya, and Lulita Nyong'o are all great, and really paint a picture of the tribal togetherness that is Wakanda.

The two villains are where the cast really shines however, and of course, mainly Michael B. Jordan.
Here we have a layered Marvel villain, someone who you can truly sympathise with, whose backstory is fleshed out enough to almost side with him. Almost.
Jordan does a great job of bringing Killmonger to life.
Similar props to Andy Serkis. After a tiny roll in Age of Ultron, he gets a chance here to play Klaue like and absolute psychopath, and it's clear just how much fun he has in to roll.

A few negatives.... The way that Klaue's story arc is concluded is hugely unsatisfying.
The CGI is dodgy in parts, especially during then climatic battle.
The last battle itself is fun for the most part, but the fight between Black Panther and Killmonger falls into the age old MCU trope of 'the-hero-fighting-an-evil-version-of-themselves-in-a-similar-oufit' (see Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Ant-Man for reference)
Martin Freeman's character seems and largely unnecessary addition here, but it's always fun to see characters from other MCU movies.

All in all, Black Panther can be bland in places, but it's done the important part of finally establishing Wakanda in the MCU, and I for one am looking forward to what other stories will occur there (fingers crossed for a Sub-Mariner story line in a sequel!)
