So it was... good. Like upper mid-tier Marvel? Possibly better than Captain Marvel, I'd say. It's probably the least hyped I've ever been for a Marvel movie. I think I got brought down by all the toxicity that was surrounding it, but it was a lot of fun. It's like Joe MCU: good comedy, some good action sequences, feeds into some cool future stuff, good surprise cameos, light, entertaining movie. I knew going in this was never going to be like, Infinity War or NWH or even, Winter Soldier.
Spoilery stuff:
Obviously there are some flaws. Villain was one-dimensional but then I never felt like she was bringing down the movie. A bit like in Guardians 1, the villain didn't need to be anything more than that because it was more about the chemistry between the main cast.
There's a quite short scene in a field where they hash out their problems with each other and it doesn't really feel earned because of the briskness of the movie not allowing any previous emotional stuff to breathe.
The musical sequence might not be to everyone's taste but I have to say I found it pretty funny. Felt like a bit of Guardians-esque humour.
Action probably peaked with the first sequence where they're switching. Really good, impressive choreography in the sense that it's really chaotic but I still understood what was happening.
Iman Vellani absolutely steals every scene she's in. She's got amazing comic timing and line delivery. It'd be very easy for her to get annoying, but she's winning and very likeable instead. There's a couple of lines that don't hit, but really very few.
Post-credits scene rules apart from bad CGI on Beast.
There were a couple of plot points that weren't very well developed or explained because it was moving so fast. Like all the stuff on the SABER base while the Marvels were on the musical planet etc. I got what was happening, it was more like it didn't quite explain why it was happening
Also, KATE BEESHOP (and that scene with Kamala imitating Fury is great) I really want to quote Grimlyn's post with "lol" but I won't
So yeah I'm happy, and it doesn't deserve to be what looks like an inevitable flop and the lack of support it seems to be receiving marketing-wise. In terms of Phase 4 and 5, I'd put NWH, GotG3 and Wakanda Forever over it - those go without saying - and idk, maybe MoM too. But I really, really liked MoM.
