I thought it failed miserably, both as a film and a film in the MCU.<br />Whilst Logan was dramatic and serious, it balanced it with levity and relatable themes. This film didn't.<br />I found the "antagonist" (i got in trouble from a friend for calling him the bad guy), completely unrelatable and his story essentially boiled down to "my dad was killed when I was a kid, so now I want to give all black people in the world weapons to kill all the white people".Uh, what? I think this film actually had the opposite effect of what it intended to accomplish with black power. I know it garnered a lot of praise but I think it's almost all exclusively unwarranted. A lot of plot devices were staged and obvious, and leaving aside from the politics, the writing was poor. And it Lacked HUMOUR! Just watch the Avengers, Deadpool or Guardians for examples of what humour is in the MCU.<br />Overall, I was incredibly disappointed with this film , couldn't relate to many of the characters and think it missed out on so many opportunities to tell a good story AND make its political statements (less overtly please).<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
