Review of Black Panther (2018) by Brent D — 27 Feb 2018

INTRODUCTION:

This was a pretty good show. Not as good as Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1, or Ant Man, but pretty good. And it's definitely way better than The Last Jedi, but that's not saying much.

THE GOOD:

* Very cool presentation of Wakanda.

* Interesting to see how the Black Panther transitions to new people.

* Great to see an advanced African culture.

* The characters and acting were great.

THE BAD:

* The main villain wasn't really somebody I hated; he was too sympathetic.

* Not super funny, like some of the other Marvel shows, and that's probably okay; not every movie needs to be stand-up comedy (*cough* *cough* - The Last Jedi); so maybe disregard this comment.

* Don't really have a desire to watch it again; it was good, but not that good; but I wouldn't avoid it; it's a good movie, but for me, it's just not blow-my-socks-off awesome.

CONCLUSION:

Overall, I enjoyed the show, but not sure I'd put it on as high a pedestal as some have. For me, I think the movie was definitely a good, high quality show, but without a strong urge to re-watch. For me, it kind of ranks there with Captain America: The First Avenger.
