Amazing - the movie and the recent reviewers

Rating: 10/10 (14 March 2018)

I've seen a few superhero movies and in context this one is unique in that the panther is constrained in some respects by also having to be a ruler/politician of a country. the movie makes the viewer privy to some of the inner conflicts of this unique challenge. however, the idea behind the suit is very engaging, and the society something to consider and entertain: what if there existed a land never colonized, how would they fare? with technological advancement meeting tradition would a physical battle for the country's leadership be replaced by... voting? computerized selection? their tradition respects bloodlines and prowess. somehow i think the prodigious racial aspect of the movie has some people uncomfortable with that idea and imagery, likely causing them to squirm in their seats with their brains bursting trying to find every possible angle why this fictional superhero in a fictional country in a fictional universe is so utterly unrealistic!
so now a few weeks after release and the movie's overall reception has exceeded projections and expectations. now i've noticed what seems a concerted effort to slow or halt the appreciation and success of this artistic work of fiction: keep it out of the media, produce highly critical muted reviews, and refrain from mentioning it in public discourse (if at all possible). perhaps it will die a quieter death.
i believe it is, nonetheless, an amazing story! the part that reflects on america's unfairness to some of its less fortunate citizens certainly will offend many who are among the privileged, but again, this is a work of fiction, just like so many of the glimpses the public is given of africa - this continent with 50 some countries speaking over a thousand languages reduced to what amounts to a small backwater in the public's eye...
