Conversely, I find that often very "woke"/political films are rated overly highly on RT compared to how much I enjoy them. I'm not right wing, it just isn't going to make me enjoy an otherwise mediocre film.

Black Panther, for example, was a perfectly fine film... but who isn't bored of Marvel stuff now, and is it really worth 96%? Higher than The Dark Knight? And even that was probably somewhat overrated due to Health Ledger's passing...

BP’s middling MCU. Coulda been a contender for very best, but they played it too safe. We shoulda followed killmonger for a while and not seen Wakanda at all until well into the film. That’d be harder to pull off, but it coulda been a good movie period, not just good for Marvel. As it is, it whiffs at what it’s going for because it doesn’t commit.

One of the worse end fights of a marvel film, too, which is saying something, and really matters since that’s like 30 damn minutes of the film.

Lots of good elements and performances. Middling MCU film overall.
