My apologies for the lateness of this review. This movie is literally tied with Avengers 3 for the best Marvel movie. That should say a lot considering the magnitude of Avengers 3. Black Panther follows T’Challa the prince who becomes a king. This movie is remarkably similar to the Lion King. How well let me break down what I liked and didn’t. Then I’ll give it a score at the end.
I really liked the way the movie progresses. After all you have an introduction to black panthers powers in a cool way with the rescue mission at night. The thing about this about this movie is it’s incredibly relevant to black culture. After all Wakanda is a city in Africa with incredibly advanced technology. Remarkably the nation appears to be a 3rd world country.
The movie has a great story in which Black panther goes on a mission to capture Ulysses Claw or just Claw who has robbed Wakanda in the past. The movie has a very exciting car chase scene in which Claw is captured. Then Killmonger’s crew rescues him. Killmonger was the son of the man who T’challa’s father killed. So Killmonger is basically on a mission to punish T’Chala and take over Wakanda to attack and conquer the rest of the world. I really liked Killminger in this as a villain.
There’s something to truly be said about the women in black panther. There names escape me but it seems like all the main female characters in Wakanda were dope. There’s the Queen mother who’s played by Angela Basset who is proof black don’t crack. T’Chala’s sister is extremely smart and she’s not hesitant to step up in the heat of battle later in the film. T’Chala love interest is played by a beautiful dark skinned woman. Her character is a spy. My favorite has to be he female general. She just goes hard with that spear.
I found out from someone that in the original Marvel comics that Black Panther was well toned down. In the comics he was far more viscous; kind of like the way he was in Captain America Civil War. He was also married to Storm from X-men. I need to note that I am very much for this portrayal of Black Panther tho.
The movie is very good but it was a tad predictable in certain parts. For example T’Chala losing to killmonger was rather predictable. That’s not much to detract from an overall score tho. The movie is excellent. The acting is on point and the action and pacing is dope too. Basically I love how relevant this movie is to Black America. And as Tchala says, it’s about building Bridges not Barriers
