The overall consensus I’m getting from the reviews is that it’s average at best with the highlight being the trio’s performances, but a weak villain and a questionable plot
Still undecided if I’ll go catch a matinee or just wait for it to hit D+
i've never actually seen this woman smile.I’m sorry but Lashana Lynch is a horrible actress. Ol girl be having the same facial expression in every scene.
Bro the Google image search of her is CRAZY. It's 100 of the same fish mouth pose
yuppp @ bolded and thats exactly why i reallly like wakanda foreveri keep telling yall, one major issue is that most directors dont understand how to shoot cosmic and superman level heroes.
Most Studios/directors arent interested in coming up with a visual style or put effort into the choreography and sequencing. Zack Snyder is the only director who really focused on this aspect (it was the only thing he cared about in regards to Superman
Because nearly all of the fighting scenes are going to be reliant on CGI, most directors dont have the chops to make the fight "work" in the context of their film. They rely on the animators who (when given enough time) make the fight look bright and shiny but often time theres no real narrative in the fights themselves, their purpose is to be time filling set pieces to show off the CGI.
Thats where practical effects come in and can make a great difference in enhancing the narrative of a film and having its own language. Say what you want about Black Panther 2, its clear Coogler learned from his mistakes in Bp1 and made a concerted effort in BP2 to improve the fight scenes. The fights between Okoye and Attuma (rd1) and Shuri and Namor are excellent (the wakanda army vs the atlanteans is exactly the kind of generic set piece I mentioned earlier tho) .
and just like KD, she balled out in a losing effort (Brooklyn lost that series)I keep seeing this in reviews she does some heavy liftng
Christian Bale was out here doing OTHELLO in the middle of a scooby doo movieand just like KD, she balled out in a losing effort (Brooklyn lost that series)
her and jonathan majors are outliers in this whole mcu phase lol
Jonathan Majors making everyone look like soap opera level actors in the newest Ant Man had meand just like KD, she balled out in a losing effort (Brooklyn lost that series)
her and jonathan majors are outliers in this whole mcu phase lol
I don't like Wakanda Forever but the Okoye bridge fight is a top 5 MCU fight scene.i keep telling yall, one major issue is that most directors dont understand how to shoot cosmic and superman level heroes.

there's a smile or 2 in there! didn't realize she's been in so many high profile gigs in the past few years. good for her i guess.
Thats pretty much what I expected. Not every movie will be IW TWS levels. Which other mcu movies would you compare this to
i think WF does a good job of puttign Shuri through the emotional ringer so her win over Namor feels earned...Her beating Namor was narratively about her tapping into her sorrow and rage (the whole scene with Killmonger is about her givng in to vengeance) but at last minute, realzing life is too precious and that killing Namor would be starting the revenge cycle all over again. Its really earned so much more than every other woman over man fight.
