I'm truly beginning to wonder if most of these reviews are from people being paid to trumpet how "amazing" this Black Panther 2 movie is. We must have not have watched the same movie, or else my theater decided to show the "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Ultimate Boring and Way Too Unnecessarily Long" edition. Dear Lord, this movie was a discombobulated snooze fest. Only slightly better than Eternals for the wondering "what in the world did I just sit through?" feeling when it's over. Better yet, wait for it to come out on Disney at this point. Go watch "The history of the paper clip" documentary on PBS or something, because that movie might actually be more entertaining. For those who haven't seen it yet, let me give you the "Wakanda Forever Viewer's Guide" Enjoy the first 15 minutes of what amounts to the Chadwick Boseman tribute, it was nice........... Take a 2 hour nap........... Wake up for the last 20 minutes, to watch the final (and really only) fight scene while scratching your head trying to figure out what you missed. Give up trying to figure it out and instead wonder why the most technologically advanced race on the planet designed a boat that goes against any and all known boat physics and logic.........then sing "Kumbaya" because everyone all holds hands in the end! Hooray everything works out....... Leave after the mid credits scene because that's it.

I really enjoyed the movie I gave it an A+ for plot, but I can't say I really liked Patterson as Batman. He was too emo and goth, also not physically intimidating. Felt more like The Crow pretending to be an early Batman iteration. Overall though, the tone and depth and complex/layered plot was very reminiscent of the Dark Knight. This was the Batman film Affleck deserved in my opinion.
