It is long, it’s boring, and it’s just not very good. Fine, i get it, you're trying to convey the loss of Chadwick Boseman, but you can do that in the first 15 minutes, that is enough dedication to convey all you need. You don’t even see the Black Panther costume until after 2 hours.... I honestly almost dozed off halfway through this dreadful movie, the action scenes feel rushed and cut short, then at times it feels like an episode of a bad B grade TV show, everything feels cramped, fights on boats, or inside ships, everything is confined to being inside of something. The movie is dark, and i am not just talking about the atmosphere, the lighting is poor. You can argue the the under water city is far from the light of the surface world, but they try to give it light by an artificial sun, yet this is beyond lacking. The wardrobe feels like it is stuck in the early 90's, one scene in which Leticia Wright is wearing purple outfit feels like she ran into a parachute and got stuck, then they took scissors to it and just decided that it was to be the outfit of the scene because the could not get it off. The plausibility of the sparrow wings on the villains ankles (Namor) is laughable as he flies around the screen like a reject of Jupiter Ascending (2015). As long as this is and as boring as it is, it felt like the plot was messy, and yet, there was far too little of character development of the King Namor and his underwater people. Oh, and half the movie is in subtitles, they're either speaking French (Haiti) or some dialect of an Aztec Mesoamerican language, or even the Wakandan language. This in itself draws your attention away from what is happening on the screen as you have to sit there and read a book at the bottom of the screen. Take your money, get a Netflix Sub and go watch Enola Holmes 2
