Review of Black Panther (2018) by Dee J — 28 Feb 2018

It was alright. Not great, but not terrible. Spent too much time on the pointless or political and not enough time spent being a superhero. While it might have a cultural signifigance, I found my eyes rolling more than once over some obvious and out-of-place digs and the bad guys were the best part of the film by far.

Scar was energetic and just entertaining to watch, and his screentime was fun and actually entertaining. Killmonger was interesting and even though he didn't get too much and was kind of an arse, he was still a fairly believable bad guy and person.

Overall I wouldn't rush to theaters to see it, but if your local movie place has it as a cheap rental I'd consider picking it up. Here's hoping Black Panther gets to really show off his claws in another, better, movie.
