I liked it!
T’Challa is very likable. Personally, he’s become one of my favorite on screen Marvel heroes. Love his costume, love his skills.
But a few issues...
Wakanda itself. You have this advanced civilization, hidden from the rest of the world, disguised as a poor Third World country. That’s fine and dandy...but didn’t like how the citizens see the rest of the planet as backwards, smirk and laugh at us, the inferior barbarians...yet they have to settle the monarchy business with violent fights? Sometimes to the death? My, how civilized and advanced of them, lol. A world of contradictions.
Black Panther's producer Nat Moore called Shuri the smartest person in the world, even more so than Tony Stark. She’s only 16, has Vibranium technology on her side, but she’s cheating, lol. But seriously, Moore completely ignored Reed Richards, who is the smartest human being who ever lived.
While some of the CGI was top notch, basically on inanimate objects such as Wakanda itself, aircraft, etc...other CGI aspects, like on the organic animate figures, like Black Panther himself, especially on action sequences, specifically fighting, were a tad disappointing...I could clearly see it was not the actor in costume...it was computer generated, not very smooth nor fluid. Spider-Man in Homecoming used CGI more effectively.
Erik Killmonger was an excellent villain...a multi-layered character, whose vision of world-wide dominance was clearly wrong...you still somehow felt sorry for him (even as a murderer)...as the events as a kid steered him in the wrong path.
The supporting cast was fine, no issues there.
Overall a fun movie.
Would I see it again? Yes.
How I rate it compare to Infinity Wars?
Infinity Wars 9.5/10
Black Panther 8/10
I have spoken!
