Another Innocuous Marvel blockbuster.

Rating: 6/10 (19 June 2019)

Black Panther is a very standard super hero flick from Marvel.
In terms of this movie itself, it's fairly bland. Nothing offensive or inventive. The production value is great, albeit some very poor CGI in the final battle scene. The protagonist once again suffers from what I call "Marvel Syndrome", where the character is rigid and doesn't have a personality. He is just there on the screen, reacting to things happening to him. He has no real agency or persona.
On the other hand, the cultural significance of this film with nearly all black cast and black talents behind the camera is immeasurable to many modern day movie viewers. Not to take credits from the cast and crew of this film, I would not consider this as a cultural milestone for black community or people of color in general. For me personally, it has always been Will Smith in the first "Men In Black" movie, which came out twenty years earlier in 1997.
