RE: Black Panther Review

in #movies6 years ago

I don't know, I just wasn't feeling this one. At least not as much as I would've liked to. I really wanted to love it but I can't rate it higher than a 7.5. The plot was basically your typical superhero movie and the pacing was off on way too many occasions. I understand why it's getting so much hype but that doesn't mean this is a particularly great movie. I can't even put it in my MCU Top 10. That being said, there's a couple of things this movie executed very well, such as:
Killmonger. Easily the best and most intriguing Marvel villain since Loki. Hell, I actually ended up liking him more than T'Challa. This is how you write a compelling antagonist; his motivations were relatable but his actions were irredeemable. It was clear that he had to be stopped no matter what but once he was on the verge of death, you were still feeling for him.
The club/casino fight. Holy shit, that was just incredible to watch. The camerawork was out of this world. I adored that long shot that followed Okoye, Nakia and T'Challa's respective fights without a single cut.
And of course, the performances were all fantastic. Such a stacked cast. I especially loved Shuri who was not only hilarious but also the real MVP.

Hah, I definitely agree about Killmonger being one of the best villians in the marvel cinematic universe.
