I like it but I am aware that it is not flawless

Rating: 7/10 (12 May 2018)

First the good:
1. It was very entertaining. Action, Fantasy and even comedy. The joke about the silent shoes, 'sneakers' get it. It cracked me up. There is a reason I mentioned it but that is for the bad.
A second joke I have to mention is: T'challa or Black panther "froze like an antelope in the headlights" when he went to fight his ex-girlfriend whom he still has feelings for. How true that is antelopes freezing in the headlights. Move you silly antelope out of the way scram. It gets annoying even.
2. A glimpse at the African culture but without mocking or glorifying it. It is almost neutral. Celebrations and jubilation everywhere. The accents was a nice touch though it has its pros and cons. Pro it is realistic, I mean you do not expect a Nigerian who lived in Nigeria to speak in an american accent even if it is a Hollywood movie.
3. The CGI was good unlike what other people tell you.
4. Rhinos in decorated armors. CGI I'm guessing.
The bad:
1.The goof about the shoes for silent shoes they surely made noise for later in the film, T'challa runs up a ramp wearing the sneakers and you could hear his footsteps.
2. The con to accents is stereotypes.
3. The conversation about using the Wakandan technology to help other nations was an idea shoved aside with some silly counterpoints about the tech going to the wrong hands. Yet they use the tech to save a 'white boy'. He is British. You are not fooling anybody Martin Freeman you are not American. Bragging about saving somebody is fine until you bring race into it. Even if it is a black person saying I'm going to save the 'white by'. The only reason we have the Everett K. Ross character is so that people cannot accuse a movie for 'black-washing'. Neither 'white-washing' or 'black-washing' is fair but neither is diversity hire because it does not seem to be about talent but the color of the skin.
Things that fall somewhere in the middle:
1. However regarding the Wakandan tech they decide to reveal it which you would have found out had you stayed for the credits. Leaving a Marvel movie without watching the credits who is going to make that mistake again. "What can a nation of farmers offer the rest of the world?" some UN official asks condescendingly and the Wakandan's smirk. It is kind of silly but funny as well.
2. Also in the credits there is a hint of Infinity War Bucky Barnes, the Winter Soldier appears. It would have been better if Black Panther was a stand-alone film but maybe less people would have watched it then. Who knows.
3. The Marvel franchise pitfalls plague this movie as well with its very typical story lines and I do not know what to think of it. Lately though some movies are breaking out of that (Thor Agnarok )so there is still hope yet.
