I agree with the 6-7/10 scores. Didn't hate it or love it; thought it was aight.
Brie was a bit wooden but I don't think the script or directing did her any favors. Like how a great player benefits from a great coaching staff that can draw up the right plays, i think same can be said with directors and actors sometimes.
MBJ may be a bit limited but we saw Coogler's play calling bring the best out of him by harmonizing Killmonger's lines and persona with MBJ's strengths. We saw Taiki do similar when he shifted Thor to cater more to Hemsworth's knack for dumb jock humor. Buddy who played Talos was completely in his element and having a blast,,, and sure that was completely different from how i'd ever envision a skrull acting.. but i was entertained.
Felt like Brie was a little constrained to what the plot called for; granted this was my first time ever seeing her act lol, so idk.
My biggest pet peeve tho is that the writers didnt have Brie emulate Vegita's open hand energy blasts, or something of comparable swag. Her lil billy blanks tae bo punch to activate it was just too girly and took me out of the film everytime she used it
