'Black Panther' is a popcorn movie nothing more nothing less. Although It trys to grasp at the idea of western colonialism and racism, it only scratches the surface never really deciding were it stands. Although this has been championed as one of they greatest diverse films it is not and I would recommend you to check out '12 years a Slave' , 'Get Out' or 'Moonlight' who do a much better job than this meager attempt. The plot is by the numbers the direction is nothing special. Chadwick Boseman's acting is rather stilted and you can never attach to his character. Michael B Jordan is a one note villian who also struggles, phoning in a performance spouting monologues about messages that never really click. But where the movie really falls on its face is the third act which is cgi heavy and looks like its out of a video game. Black Panther by no means is terrible its below average and the concept of Wakanda is an excellent and well excuted idea. But this movie just needs to go that little bit deeper and seprate itself from the tired superhero formula.

The movie is clearly trying to present an alternative to the classic white male super-hero movies/characters. A very laudable idea, but the implementation is so bad that it has the opposite effect. Furthermore, it focus so much in the racial topic that at some points it is almost racist with continuous stereotypes about black people being in a given way. If the director would be a white person, I would sue him for some of the things in the movie (black people acting like monkeys, jokes of them eating people, etc.). In this sense, if someone is interested in good movies that present strong characters from African background I rather recommend "Hidden Figures", "The Pursuit of Happyness" (sic.).

That regarding the social topics that the movie was supposed to cover. But that's not all.

The scrip is rubbish. After 5 minutes, one can imagine exactly what is going to happen. Most dialogues are such, that one knows the next sentence before the actor/actress has opened his/her mouth. The script is filled with cheap emotional sentences that seem taken from some fortune cookie.

Most actors and actresses in the movie try to speak with some short of Nigerian/Kenyan accent and the outcome is ridiculous. The movie even managed to produce a ridiculous character played by Martin Freeman.

The special effects of the movie are rather disappointing. Specially after movies like "Avengers: Age of Ultron" and similar ones, I expected at least the minimum "Marvel" quality standards regarding special effects.

The soundtrack was also rather disappointing.

One good thing in the movie were some of the action scenes. The fighting choreographies are quite good. Also the car chases (surprise!) are pretty decent.

Another good point about the movie, is that if you happen to watch it with a funny group of friends then you might have "cheap jokes" for a month. In this sense (too), the movie falls into the category of Sharknado.

Watch at your own risk.

I enjoy all the other Marvel movies I've seen, so I expected this to be the same. Quite the opposite, I feel bored to death. The first 25 mins probably can be done for less than half of the time. I spaced out constantly and when going back to it I realized I almost didn't miss anything. So many redundant trash talk, taunting and declaration... On the half way it's already drained all my patience. Such a bad one.
