I went today and it was pretty good. Nothing amazing but definitely above average and entertaining. The story was basic but solid and benefited from not being an origin story. I also liked how it covered some interesting themes that we haven't seen in the MCU. The villain was great but I wish they spent more time on him and we got to see more of him as the Black Panther. Other than Sister Q, who was a fun character, the attempts at humour fell flat and I had hoped for a darker movie considering the potential of the story. I also found the ending to be rushed and was disappointed in the final battle and fight scenes.
Overall it was a typical Marvel film that I enjoyed. I'm not sure it will be that memorable though other than being the one before Infinity War. 6/10. I took a point off because of the Gollum Bilbo reunion scene which reminded me of those crappy Hobbit movies.
