I really liked the book. Of course I expected the movie to not be able to be as extensive as the book but at least it still feels very rushed through. Many events are missing completely. Even the process of the games highly differ from the original. At least the absolutely ridiculous Lucky Flickerman, responsible for more than one comedy moment, in the movie nearly makes a professional impression.

Also, knowing how difficult this is to realize, the movie lacks of all the thoughts Coriolanus has and all his motives.

In the end I really recommend first to read the book, in order not to get spoiled and then watch the movie as a little "Addon".

I know, I know... everyone loves this episode. But I must confess that the whole "deus ex machina" concept doesn't really comforts me.

I really love the dominion war story arc. But after all it nearly ends in an defeat of the joined forces of the Klingons and the Federation - if there wasn't the prophets... they just kill off the complete dominion reinforcements AND, as the frosting on the cake, prevent any other dominion ships to pass the wormhole for the future. Not mentioning that this would have prevented the whole war from the start!!

Don't take me wrong. I don't see any plot holes here. I just don't like it:

• the Federation is weak
• the Klingons are weak
• the whole alpha quadrant is weak
• no one can make a stand to the dominion
• just the prophets (don't make me start about the whole religious aspect of DS9) can safe the day

WHY?!

From my humble opinion this is one of the weakest MCU movies up until now.

Yes, I know, it has a really great photography and the whole "black lives matter" background surely makes his point. But that's all! There is no bring more positive to mention.

1. The movie has nothing to add to the MCU. You could call it just a filler, waiting for the next Avengers, which need absolutely nothing coming from this movie.

2. The whole people of Wakanda are absolute dumbasses.

This whole "challenge" to become king is kind of Stone Age. How is it possible to build a working, successful society by beating up each other?!

Ignoring this, Killmonger is the rightful king after defeating T'Challa. The reaction of queen, princess and "girlfriend" are not traceable. What did they expect?! Has there never been a successful challenge? T'Challa accepted a fight that possibly could end with him being killed!! "He killed my son!!".... No!!! Really?! How could he!! (Caution! Irony!)

From this point on the movie makes handstands to make clear how "bad" Killmonger is to legalize getting him of the throne again.

And what is wrong with the water tribe? Frist they put the challenge over everything, accepting the new king. But when it is clear the challenge is not over they just kill everyone who stands with T'Challa. Upon this the people of Wakanda slaughter each other over not having a rightful king for a blink of a moment.

Again... how this society survived?!

At least this movie just leaves me head shaking.

Really great episode. But when you look closely Barney is just a real big asshole. He could have brought his "number" on every evening. But he needed to chose Ted's "big evening" to not just take part him self, but also to prevent Robin from taking park. Just a kick in Ted's nuts. Proving himself to be a friend no one needs.
