Are we finally feeling marvel fatigue?

I do feel this movie is very overrated. It was good sure but not as good as what people have made it out to be.

This could just be superhero fatigue. Or maybe it's just marvel fatigue because I'm still interesyed in what DC will offer. This just didn't feel very unique to me. Marvel seems to focus a lot on action, set pieces, CGI than its characters. The villain was boring and underdeveloped. It did have strong female characters, I'll give it that but was very underused. Black panther is well cast.

There were parts of this movie that felt very ironman and other parts that felt very James bond weirldy enough. There were times the CGI was distracting and when they tried to be too funny it didn't work. I'm talking about the car chase scene.

I knew nothing about black panther going in except was was in civil war and I'm not sure where they are going to go with the character.

I know I'm talking negatively but don't get me wrong the action was fun. The fight scenes were well choreographed, I live Martin Freeman in everything and it was interesting to see wakanda with all the technological advances. It's nots a bad movie, it was just overrated and just didn't live up to expectations. They falled flat in many areas.

This one was a really pleasant surprise for me. I wasn't sold on the trailer at all - it just looked far too busy and messy, whereas every other Marvel trailer tends to blow me away. I even waited a couple of weeks before seeing it at the cinema (which is NOT like me at all!). I actually really loved it though, and it's right up there as one of my favourite Marvel movies. But then, I seem to be one of the few people that was disappointed with Spider-Man: Homecoming, so my opinion does seem to differ from others! I feel you do make some valid points in your review though.
