Formulaic Marvel detritus, far overhyped purely on the basis of cultural significance. Went into this film genuinely hopeful that we might receive something different from the usual Marvel sludge. I recall seeing an article that labelled Erik Killmonger the greatest villain since Ledger’s Joker. I was excited - maybe marvel has turned a corner? Nope. Squint and it’s the same fucking film they’ve made 50 times. Interesting body scars are not a substitute for having literally any substance as a character.
Hard to top this performance from DDL. One qualm - in the final scene, Eli is somehow knocked out cold by a blow with a bowling pin to the back. Wtf? Takes me out of a brilliant climactic moment. But not enough to bring it down from 5 stars.
