MCU Rewind #15-18 - Guardians 2 - Black Panther

Since there are reviews for all of these films already up on the site, and my thoughts have not drastically changed for any of them, I decided to recap my quick thoughts on my rewatch here in one article.

Guardians of the Galaxy: Volume 2 - As per usual with comedies, this film didn't quite hold up. It was a good film, and I like it more than most people do, actually, but I found that the majority of the jokes didn't hold up quite as well as I would have hoped. The character development of Star-Lord was great, especially considering what happened to him in Infinity War, but I felt that Gunn didn't know what to do with some of the characters, especially Gamora.

Spider-Man: Homecoming - My stance on this movie stands - I love this film. I've seen this a few times and it's brilliant. It takes all the elements of Peter Parker and Spider-Man that we loved from the previous iterations, gently includes some great scenes with Iron Man, and has a FANTASTIC villain, one of the best, with Vulture in Homecoming. I love this movie and can't wait for the sequel. Tom Holland IS Peter Parker and Tom Holland IS Spider-MAn.

Thor: Ragnarok - Again, as with most comedies, this film goes down a little, but not NEARLY as much as Guardians 2. And what I found great about this film was that it's incredibly rewatchable. You can watch some scenes in this film over, and over, and over simply because it's so entertaining to see certain interactions between certain characters. Jumping from scene to scene, there is not a moment where you are bored, watching Dr. Strange, Loki, Thor, Grandmaster, Valkyrie, and Hela (although, upon further viewing, I did not like her as much as I used to). Overall, a truly entertaining film.

Black Panther - There was a lot of hype surrounding this film, and I found myself caught up in it slightly. While it's not the most rewatchable film in the world, it is still a great one. It has a very potent message about discrimination, and has one of the BEST MCU villains to date (and then came Thanos). The unique footprint that it leaves on the MCU may never be replicated (we'll see about Captain Marvel, but I doubt it) and I believe that it will always be remembered. I quite enjoy the film, have a couple issues (read the review), but it's definitely worth a watch.
