Review of Black Panther (2018) by Yosa1 — 17 Feb 2018

Well, this movie is a mixed bag for me; on one hand it was decent and told a compelling story, on the other it is a slog and has some elements that grate. Black Panther is a hero in a comic series, seen in a few films before this dedicated film.

Movie involves a disgruntled citizen who wants to over through the king. A personal pet peeve is trial by combat, it was stupid to portray an advanced culture and a primitive practice; this is also a major plot point in the movie; did the writers get there jobs by trial of combat, it seems so.

The action scenes were contrived, the scenes jumped around a bit, the music was all of dumb, the story was watchable but not "Gladiator", level. If you like comic hero movie its worth a watch, if you are ify, I recommend Dr Strange as a better entry into the genre, it is a far better film, otherwise, this will disappoint at best.
