Okay so maybe the title of this review sounds harsh. I didn't hate this, but I definitely didn't love it. First things first, way too long! Goodness gracious me I felt like I was in the cinema for 1000 years. TRIM THE FAT DISNEY! Like so much of this could've been tightened up, my time is precious don't waste it with boring subplots that lead nowhere please (I'm a white man with a blog, I am clearly very busy and important).
That being said, I don't want to be a big ol' negative nelly, so I will say they handled Chadwick Boseman's death exceptionally well. I thought it was respectful and you really felt the impact of his passing on the whole world within the MCU, whilst not feeling at all like they weren't giving enough weight to the real life tragedy that was his death. Way too young, such a great talent.
I'm gonna go spoiler mode now so I'll just quickly say this movie is MID and a rock solid 5/10.

THIS VILLAIN IS SO SILLY! He's the silliest man in the world!
Oh those winged shoes, WHAT'RE THOOOOOSE?! (I'm hip, I'm down with the kids). But for real, what the hell in the physics were they? Little wings on your feet would not let you fly, and if they did you'd fly feet up with the blood rushing into your head. SO SILLY. I loved it.
Everything else was so damn boring about him though. Like I saw this recently and already forget why he was doing what he was doing. He was basically like look humans suck without vibranium and they did a genocide so now I'll do a genocide which I'm like hmm what is it they say about two wrongs again?
There's a lot of characters and people that I totally forgot existed and honestly I was just sat trying to remember who people were which isn't a great starting point for a movie. This is the Marvel issue, too many dudes and dudettes that I just cannot fucking remember. You expect me to remember Ant-Man, Thor AND Moon Knight?! Eat a dick.
There's a lot of faffing about, there's a teenage genius lady that is the catalyst for this nonsense. God why don't I have more to say about this movie? Am I losing my touch, I feel like it was all so mid it's really hard for me to have any hot takes.
That's my hot take! It's all MID. Action scenes? MID. Story? MID. Acting? MID. Plot points? Largely predictable, cookie cutter and ultimately M-M-M-MID!!
So yeah, chuck it on in the background while you're cleaning the flat or having sex with ya boyfriend/girlfriend/wife/situationship/ex that you swore you wouldn't go back to/secret lover that you're hiding from one of the above/guy that you just met on Tinder that you SWORE you wouldn't sleep with on the first date but here you are AGAIN.
Hopefully the sex is better than this movie, but if one of you is a medium-ugly white boy like me, then the sex will be like this movie- MID!
