An semi-average Marvel movie

Rating: 5/10 (29 May 2018)

I went to the movie theater to see this film, excited by all the hype, but was ultimately majorly disappointed. Chadwick Boseman had a stellar performance, along with Academy Award Lupita Nyong'o. The characters were more complex than the characters in other Marvel movies, but the plot was predictable and boring, ruining the unique characters.
The setting of Wakanda was majestic and eye catching. The new technology reflected their advanced society. Once again, the plot did not live up to the setting. The concept and message of the movie was powerful. Black oppression is what created Wakanda, and fueled the tension. It is not unusual for Marvel movies to have a political message, but 'Black Panther's' had a more relevant stance.
'Black Panther' was empowering to African American's and touched on political issues in the U.S. Overall, it was very boring, which allowed the audience to overlook the outstanding performances and setting.
