Anyone watched New Black Panther movie yet? How was it?

Felt it was better than the first movie. A good villain, a hero arc, and world building makes it a good watch. Namor was somewhere between Thanos and Killmonger solid performance. Half the cast were absolutely superb. Some say it's long but it had to tell a lot of stories. Only a few things story and acting wise bothered me but I'd overlook them due to the quality as a whole.

4 out of 5 movie.

What did you find lacking about the original?  The first Black Panther was easily one of my favorite Marvel movies.  As noted above, I thought there was a lot of good stuff in the sequel, but I didn’t think it worked well as a self-contained movie arc.

The original was too "Marvel formula" and villain was a replica power wise to the hero which I hate in superhero movies. Never felt there was ever jeopardy either in the first movie. The mini civil war was weak principal wise as it wasn't built up enough to believe. Killmonger was performed well and had a ideology that challenges the hero which is the best plus.

This sequel I didn't know who would fall or how things would end. You are right on self contained arc. This is a part in a series and includes a lot of things setup for future projects. It's one of the things that kind of hurts things. Yet we know Disney will make more content and wants people to buy into all their past content via +.

  Have t seen most Marvel but I had a good time with Wakanda Forever . I read bunch of the plot holes and I see it now but didn’t catch on my watch.
  I really liked the bad guy. Liked the effects at how he moved. It reminded me of the clash of the titans remake where Pegasus is moving through the city. Cool stuff.
  But what made me like this more than other Marvel films is just that it took itself serious. That’s just a personal taste for me . It’s not right or wrong. Just what I like.

Yeah, Namor is one of the better villains in recent movies.

Namor was the only good thing about the movie. He reminded me of Black Adam, in that he wasn't really a villain and he wasn't a hero either. His motivation was to protect his people, while the people of Wakanda seemed more motivated by protecting the vibranium resource.

According to a new rumor, Marvel Studios might have finally made one of the most important casting decisions of The Multiverse Saga. In a Patreon post, Marvel scooper Daniel Richtman claimed that Adam Driver (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) is in final talks to star in the MCU’s Fantastic Four reboot as Reed Richards, aka Mister Fantastic.

I hope this isn't true.  I truly don't understand how Driver keeps getting work.  I think he's wooden, creepy and can't act.  He was terrible as Kylo, and he'd be horrible as Mr. Fantastic.

have to agree that I don't see him as Reed Richards.  Thought John Krasinski would be taking on that role if Marvel got around to making another FF movie

Driver as Reed Richards is not good..I just don’t see him playing well in that role

  The marvel movies are so studio driven so every movie purposefully had the same “ formula” . I think Driver is really good even though I didn’t like the Star Wars films . I think he’s almost too good for these popcorn films but plenty of A listers have done it already. I cringe at thinking of him quipping through a movie.

[Moranis]

Driver doesn't seem like he'd be a good fit for Reed Richards, but a lot of that will depend on who the other 3 in the movie are.

I'm enjoying the final season of Titans.  2nd half of season has had a couple of episodes drop and I really like their Brother Blood and Mother Mayhem portrayals so far this season.

Being a big Snyder movie fan I’m bummed out . People got waay to angry at a character being depicted differently. It’s not Luke Skywalker that has one story. There’s a hundred different interpretations.
   I have no interest in the junk marvel keeps rolling out and I have even less excitement for James Gunn. That dude is acting like a child on social media instead of an executive. Highlighting what sone 12 year old nerd criticizes and shooting it down over Twitter. I think he talks for people when he shouldn’t.
   I noticed he got quiet when Affleck spoke up about absolutely not wanting to do what they are doing. But then he’s back to being an online jerk again.
   I think his Superman movie may be fine. It’s a pretty easy thing to make a formulaic superhero movie. Not hard to please mass audiences.

We had something different than the standard cookie cutter CBM. I've lost all interest in DC going forward. Hopefully one day history will show the blame for these snyder movies underperforming were the result of incompetent/greedy studio execs.

Anybody else seen Guardians 3 yet?

I really enjoyed it.  It doesn't raise the bar for superhero movies, but it's a good mission with some emotional oomph to it.

I saw a bunch of negative floating around about it before watching the movie so I was preparing for the worst...but I also really liked it a lot. 

I'm sure it wasn't the most intelligent movie on the planet, and if you wanted to find things to criticise i'm sure there is plenty there...but at the end of the day i'm a pretty simple person.  My primary judge of a movie is how do I feel throughout the time i'm watching it, and how do I feel after I walk away from it.  Guardians 3 kept my attention drawn for its entire (almost 3 hour) runtime, it made me genuinely laugh out loud, it made me smile at other times, , it hit me in the feels at times, and in the end I walked away with a feeling extremely satisfied with the experience.  That's good enough for me!

I don't know what it is with DC films - I can't really put my finger on what exactly it is, but something about the way they film them makes the movies feel very unnatural and unrealistic to me, and I find it very hard to get immersed in them. 

I know that sounds crazy when were talking about superhero movies, but when I watch the Marvel films a lot of them do manage to really immerse me into the world and into the characters - excessive CGI somtimes kills it a bit, but other then that I find most of them pretty good in that regard.

I think its something about the way the DC films handle the camera movements.  There is always a lot of fast moving, jerking around and its almost like thereis a lack of "weight" and "impact" to scenes.  Like the physics just doesn't add up right.  I really cant explain it but they just dont feel "believable". 

The Nolan Batman movies ands the "Glass" trilogy were kinda exceptions to that rule - they were much more grounded and felt much more real and believable. I felt like they were the best DC films i've seen over the past 2 decades.  Wonder Woman was quite enjoyable as well, though it did have a couple of those "that just looks super fake" moments that I referred to earlier, but it was mostly enjoyable.  Shazam wasn't bad as well, but same deal.
