The movie builds the cultural worlds so well, Ryan Coogler has a real talent for that. Angela Bassett was great, M'Baku was great, even Letitia Wright's acting and loss throughout the movie was great, but then she becomes Black Panther and the movie devolves into a jump-cut filled mess.
The final victory feels hollow, and unearned. They needed to spend more time with Okoye's victory over her personal fight, as well as M'Baku and some of the other Dora Millaje. You made a 2hr and 40min movie, you can't add another 5 minutes of end fight scene, everything the movie has been leading up to? ReRe Williams was done well, but I don't think they ever call her Ironheart throughout the movie, so for all people see is an Iron Man ripoff, and her suit looks kinda goofy too.
The thing that I didn't get was Letitia Wright's dickish behavior to M'Baku and to Nakia. Her bloodlust felt off-character for her, and when she was fighting Namor, she was just taking hits and had no real combat skill to keep up with him outside of Vibranium suit and synthetic herb powers. Namor should've been able to take her out easily, but taking out his wing ankles was a smart move, and keeping him away from water, those were great elements of the fight.
Also you need to put up some damn light sources, this movie is too damn dark and I couldn't even see what was going on the screen in alot of scenes.

I thought it was just me and the low budget movie theater I went to see it in.
As far as the movie, I try not to get into what should and shouldn't have happened. The movie for what it was and the circumstances surrounding it was the best told story ever in the MCU imo. The plot made totally made sense. Even the things people are griping at can be explained away. The actors did their thing, especially Angela Bassett. Coogler did a masterful job
