Unfortunately the magic that I had hoped for was lost along the way. The story line was acceptable but the character of Killmonger was flat and not interesting at all.
As this is a superhero movie I would have rather it stayed away from being preachy even in the slightest. This isn't a sweeping historical drama, this is an action movie. Or so it should have been.
It's sad when the most interesting about the film takes only 10% of the movie, the rest is really lackluster, especially the plot and the character development.
Not a lot to say about the acting, some really poor line delivery from the cast across the board except for Andy Serkis. No one was particularly charismatic, the main character for instance was extremely boring.
Black Panther was extremely average, I have no idea what these critics/review bots are talking about when they say that it is the best Marvel movie and worthy of "critical" praise.
A cinematic failure.
Please, please, please, don't make a sequel.
Over 100,000 tickets block bought and distributed for free in Detroit and Chicago alone. It's so good they give away seats to get people to see it.
Two older people in the audience turned to each other and started talking about the weather. Nuff said.
Over the top action is about 5% of the movie. It looks nice, you want to see more of it. But instead you get discussions about Wakandan politics and the questionable choices of the main character's father.
