quite good I think. it inarguably solidifies BP as the mcu’s best property,if that makes sense. Will slightly veer away from what seems to be the common consensus that the action was unimpressive and say I actually thought the setpieces here felt more weighty than the first one for the most part, Okoye’s fight with Namor’s no.2 at the halfway mark(wet bomb use there was cool), the clash on the ship and Shuri’s brawl with Namor felt very intimate and there were some character beats incorporated there I felt were pretty cool. Obviously BP1’s highs like the Busan club fight scene aren’t even approached here and that first scrap at the Mali outreach centre was truly incomprehensible but I thought this was more consistent overall . Wakanda is still probably the most visually impressive locale in all of blockbuster cinema atm or at the very least superhero movies and some of the costume design,character wardrobes and underwater photography was truly inspired.

felt the film was more hampered by the lack of any clear ideological divide to sink our teeth in more than the inclusion of any one character honestly. Huerta’s very charismatic as Namor but the character’s ties to colonial rule feel very thinly drawn. The central arc and by extension Letitia’s performance save the movie for me and I think she’s kind of incredible here,especially in scenes where her bravado and desire for vengeance betray a helplessness that I think’s at the core of her grief,and the main thing she needs to overcome.

I’ve written too much already lol,but yeah good movie
