I still haven't seen Shang-Chi, Eternals, Ant-Man and the Wasp or Black Widow.

Black Widow is a good story with very good acting. Some fun fight scenes.

Eternals is an absolutely bananas plot with okay writing and varied acting. At least one top-tier fight scene -- it's fantastic. You'll know it when you see it.

Shang-Chi and Ant Man 2 have their moments but the writing is just up and down across the board. Shang-Chi does have a fantastic fight scene.

Ant Man 2:

Spoiler!

Ant Man 2 just suffers from a huge Scott Lang problem. After the first Ant Man, there really is no reason for him to keep putting on the suit other than the MCU just needs him to. Of course, they have an even better character for the role in the Wasp, both thematically and in fighting acumen, but they can't bring themselves to fully commit to her.

Add into that all the plot rigamarole -- we gotta have a conflict here, we gotta have another conflict there -- and a ridiculous deux ex machina that I'm guessing will completely vanish in Ant Man 3. I just don't like the movie at all.
