Doubt I'll see it in theaters. Not the most excited for it for a number of reasons.
1. Seems your cliché origin story where the hero fights a friend/family member who has the exact same abilities as him.
2. Not a fan of the black panther's lead. Got to see him in Civil War and his whole looking off into the distance and making any and all statements seem like he is quoting some ancient philosopher or has super deep meaning, ect is annoying to me.
3. The SJW'ness of it from a review standpoint. I feel it's getting inflated reviews, the same as Wonder Woman did. Wonder Woman was still a good movie, but not the 90somethign RT is got. It should have been down 10 points or so. But if same holds true for BP, its still a great rating. But I'm not going to fall for its 99% RT score or whatever it has.
4. Marvel movie. These are no longer exciting me. They are too formulaic, unrisky and shreky. They remind me of shrek movies now adays. They are good times with funny topical jokes that and action. Also the color pallet. I hate the filter or whatever Marvel has going on through all its films. I appreciate the consistant look, but sucks they started with a shitty one. As an HDR fan, Marvel movies just 100% suck in that regard. Just recently saw Blade Runner 2049. Movies like that, BvS, the Revenant, ect are just sights to behold. The colors just pop, the contrast, the blacks, ect. I don't think there is one true black color in all of the Marvel movies. It's a shame.
5. Too big a universe. While I enjoy universe building and cameo's, ect. The cameos is making some of the stories lazy. You pop in say a Tony Stark in a movie and due to all the other films he has been in his mere precense adds elements to the story and means the story doesn't need to do as much. Thus while as a whole its good for the universe, the individual movie suffers. Looking back at all the Marvel movies, there is hardly any I would like to rewatch, yet aslo hardly I would say should be removed. They all serve their purpose in this grand scheme, but individually, many are nothing more than a one sentence summary.
Similar faults the long running manga run into. Say One Piece, my favorite manga. Since the time skip, each arc has been still great I guess as a whole and continue to build the world, expand the overall story, characters, ect. But you just kind of want each arc to end by the time is starts. You find yourself kind of wanting to just see spoilers for the end of the series over waiting so damn long. Same with marvel. It's been going so long and just as One Piece is heading towards One Piece, Marvel heads towards Thanos. I just kind of want to get there already and while in the end, I know most of these movies will help the conclusion, right now I'm just are sick of what feels like filler shit till the Avengers movie.
