Review of Black Panther (2018) by Jim M — 26 Feb 2018

This is a very good superhero movie. The performance were excellent. But a lot of details lacked explanation, and resolution. If Wakanda is a hidden peaceful wonderland in the middle of Africa, why do they still have warring tribes? Sounds like they haven't evolved beyond the outside world from which they're hiding.

And if Killmonger is the product of a Wakandan and a white worman how did his ancestors throw themselves into the sea from slave ships? Was his mom raised on a white-slave ship? They don't explain how vibranium can apparently do EVERYTHING, which is OK, but smart (ass) guy Stark should have ALSO figured that out, since Captain America's shield is made from the same stuff.

DEADPOOL: still the best superhero film, since it refuses to take itself seriously.
