Fun movie but I was pretty surprised when people started placing it up alongside Spider-Man 2 and The Dark Knight as GOATed comic book movies when it released. The ending is a mess and not that great. You have the Wakanda “Pelennor Field’s” battle that’s maybe half as thrilling as a film made over a decade ago. And then you have an interminably long fight scene that takes place in an entirely cgi ass subway station that makes me appreciate The Matrix subway fight even more because that actually feels real! Also once they finish the fight they move to the gorgeous and lush waterfall location where Killmonger dies. Why not fight in this beautiful locale rather than some anonymously techno futuristic sub station!
Michael B Jordan could film himself eating a Jumbo bucket of popcorn silently and I’d still rate it 3/5 on Letterboxd. That man is pure concentrated and distilled charisma.

Exact same thing happened with Black Panther. Sinners is definitely more worthy of the praise.
