Overrated because it's about black power, mediocre otherwise

Rating: 4/10 (18 September 2018)

The title sums it up neatly. It is the first superhero blockbuster where all the protagonists are not just black, but they also speak in African accent and reside in a secret location somewhere in Africa where technology is highly advanced far beyond the rest of humanity. Never before have I seen Africa in such a way, I tend to associate the sub-Saharan part of the continent with being the most undeveloped and trouble-ridden part of the world so the mere idea gave me a bit of a cultural shock, my mind was somewhat blown and I felt those dark corners of my mind where these ideas reside enlightened by new possibilities. Unfortunately this is where the originality begins and ends. The movie is a boring cliche superhero tale, and I understand it was over-hyped for pushing its politically correct agenda. Wonder woman was a much better superhero movie while also serving a politically correct agenda.
